The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), located seven miles south of downtown Atlanta, is the world's busiest airport. It has direct flights to many cities in the US and abroad, and the public light rail system from the airport to the conference center/hotel is simple and cost effective.
Hotel parking rate:
$22 for self-parking per day (no in and out privileges)
$26 for valet parking per day (has in and out privileges)
The Westin has limited parking at the hotel. Valet attendants will offer alternative parking decks in the area.
It is recommended for conference attendees arriving by plane to use the MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) rail system from the Airport to the Peachtree Center Station, a 20 min ride that costs $2.
