Re: [85attendees] Safety around hotel Hilton area

[Robert Cragie <[e-mail]>]

My experience is that the bridge from the Marriott Marquis through 
Marquis One tower to the Peachtree Center is closed in the evenings. The 
bridge to the Hyatt seems to remain open in the evening - I don't know 
how late (I used it around 9pm). It is a very short walk from the Hyatt 
entrance on Peachtree to the Marta station (turn left out of the 
entrance and note what is said in Pat's e-mail below).

I actually found it pretty easy if you remember:

 1. You are basically trying to walk in a straight line
 2. Hilton to Hyatt: UP two levels on the escalator at the back (Hilton
    side) of the Marriott atrium
 3. Follow the signposting

One option that might work for those who want to minimize walking on the street at night is to go from Marta to the Hyatt which is less than half a block and use the Hyatt to Marriot bridge and then the Marriot to Hilton bridge.

I personally haven't tried these tunnels, but it seems to be a solution for those worried about walking the streets between the hotel and Peachtree / Marta.
