At Lanier Islands, you can get an island escape just one hour north of Atlanta at a family-friendly resort in the middle of Lake Lanier. But instead of cheesy fake palm trees, the hotel sports an upscale-lodge aesthetic with rustic, wood-frame furniture; mirrors shaped like branches; and a chandelier in the lobby that mimics a forest canopy. Free WiFi and an onsite fitness center are available to guests as an added perk.
- Take a dip in the heated, outdoor saltwater pool.
- Explore the island with onsite bike rentals.
- Tee off: Legacy on Lanier Golf Club is located nearby the lodge and open year-round. The hotel offers golf-cart rentals.
- Winter wonderland: Select options include Winter Adventure passes, which provide access to snow-play areas with skating, snow tubing, sledding, santa’s work shop, and more. Winter Adventure ends the evening of February 15th, but other activities such as the equestrian center, zip-lining, and pontoon rentals remain open year-round.
