Sometimes referred to as the capital of the South, Metro Atlanta is a quickly growing, cosmopolitan region with a population of over 4 million. The airport is the hub for Delta Airlines and is also served by many other domestic and international airlines providing direct connections to many places around the world. The Downtown Hilton is accessible by MARTA, the local transit system, which goes directly to the airport, about ten miles south of downtown. Georgia State University, also in the heart of downtown Atlanta, is a dynamic and diverse campus with a student population of about 26,000.

Atlanta offers large numbers of amenities and attractions, including a wide variety of restaurants, museums, and historical sites. The Hilton is within walking distance of many of these, including the Martin Luther King Center. The new Georgia Aquarium is slated to open in late 2005, with the CNN Center and the World of Coca Cola nearby. The Woodruff Arts Center, which houses the High Museum of Art, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Alliance Theater, is a short cab right away.
