The Hamilton Alpharetta, Curio Collection by Hilton

The hotel boasts beautiful surroundings and convenient proximity to dining options. Guests appreciate the spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms, along with exceptional service from friendly and attentive staff.

The Hamilton has a lot going for it, but it didn’t quite deliver a satisfying stay. On the positive side, the location is excellent—right in downtown Alpharetta, in a walkable, lively neighborhood full of independent shops, restaurants, and a local vibe that’s a refreshing change from big-box blandness. The hotel itself looks great—modern, thoughtfully designed, and full of boutique charm—but the execution misses in key areas. My biggest issue was the room temperature: it never cooled below a sticky, humid 75 degrees. Even with the thermostat cranked down, it stayed warm and muggy the entire time, which made sleeping and relaxing difficult. The room was spacious but didn’t quite work. The layout felt off, and while it seemed like it was aiming for high-end, little details held it back—like a surprisingly small bathroom, limited closet space, and furniture that looked good but wasn’t comfortable or well-positioned. Other guests have noted the same—form over function. Noise was also an issue. I could hear hallway chatter and doors closing clearly, and the in-room soundproofing didn’t seem to do much. It wasn’t overwhelming, but noticeable enough to be distracting. Staff were pleasant and the public spaces were clean, but overall the hotel felt like it prioritized aesthetics over comfort. Not a bad stay, just one that didn’t live up to its potential. With a few fixes, it could be great—but for now, it’s solidly “meh.”

The walkable area was great with many choices. I did not like the parking options offered.
