Coin Shows - Location and Directions

For 2012, the Greater Atlanta Coin Shows return to their location at the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center, 500 Powder Springs Street, just south of the historic Marietta Square in Marietta, Georgia.

For those of you with GPS or looking at online maps, the hotel's official street address is 500 Powder Springs Street. However, just south of the hotel the addresses change to Powder Springs Road. So, if you can't find 500 Powder Springs Street on your digital map, try 500 Powder Springs Road instead.

General Greater Atlanta Coin Shows Hotel Information:

For you history buffs, the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center is located on the grounds of the Georgia Military Institute which operated from 1851 to 1864. During Sherman's march through Georgia, he ordered the area burned, but he spared the home on the property as it was owned by his friend from West Point, Colonel Arnoldous Brumby. (Click for more photos of the coin show's location and surroundings.)

For those of you who visit the coin show and are hungry, the hotel's restaurant, The Pub, offers lighter fare (soups, salads, sandwiches) and full meals. From several people, we've heard, "The Pub has THE BEST prime rib."

Some of you also enjoy golf. The City Club Marietta's 18-hole golf course lies just behind the hotel. With a little planning, you can indulge two passions in one day - coins and golf! 

General Directions to the Greater Atlanta Coin Shows:

The easiest way to get to the Hilton Atlanta/Marietta Hotel & Conference Center is via the North Marietta Parkway (I-75 Exit 265). Follow the N. Marietta Parkway toward Marietta. After the street circles around the historic Marietta Square, the name changes to Powder Springs Street. Continue straight for roughly 0.2 miles. The entrance to the hotel will be on the right.

Turn right into the hotel's entrance and go up the incline toward the hotel.

There is ample parking on both sides of the entrance drive. Entrances to the main parking areas exist off the main drive roughly two thirds of the way up the hill. 

From the left parking area:

The conference center's main entrance is on the right. The parking area on the right is almost as large as the left.

Continuing up the drive, you can access the right and left parking areas at the top of the incline or continue to the front lobby around their landscaped island. There is also a smaller parking area just to the left of the main hotel lobby entrance.

The conference center's main access is under the porte cochere to the right before you get to the main hotel lobby.

Enter the conference center through the doors under the porte cochere.

Just inside is the foyer for the conference center. The double doors to the left provide access to the conference center where the coin shows are located.

To get to the coin shows, follow the hallway by the windows for roughly 50 feet.

On the right is the event lobby area for the Joe Mack Wilson Ballroom. Some months, the coin show will be in the Joe Mack Wilson Ballroom.

Other months, the coin show will be down a level in the Lyon (door on the left) and Sanford (door on the right) rooms.

Stairs to the coin shows in the Lyon and Sanford rooms are located across from the Joe Mack Wilson Ballroom. Elevators are located down the hall near the hotel area.
