Using the Skybridge you can go up to the Hyatt, and the Marta station is
just across the street.

Be warned that the first time you take this path you _will_ get lost,
and asking people where to go next seems to be ineffective.

In short: you take the first bridge (from the 2nd level at the Hilton,
above the main entrance) and it will take you to a large open area in
the Marriott. You need to walk through this area up to the escalators,
then go down _two_ levels, and then keep walking. You will find two
bridges, one leading to the Hyatt (on the right) and one leading to
Peachtree Mall (on the left).

The Peachtree bridge will get you to the Marta station quickly, but is
closed when the mall is closed. As second best path, you walk through
the Hyatt lobby and cross Peachtree St. to find the entrance to Marta.

If this sounds confusing to you, you're not alone:-)

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.
