There is a ground shuttle that goes from terminal f to the domestic 
terminal ground transportation center. (this operates 24/7)

the hilton atlanta is one block north and two blocks east of the peach 
tree center ne side exit of the peachtree center marta. It is at the 
corner of courtland ne and john portman blvd if you are approaching from 
the south or west.

The Marriott Marquis which was the location of the IETF  55 ATL meeting 
is across the street from the hilton (to the west) and is visible from 
much of downtown given it's height (~170 meters).
