Highlights of College Park

The Gateway Center Campus is home to the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC) - Atlanta’s second-largest convention center. It’s directly connected to the airport by a free, 2-minute ATL SkyTrain ride from baggage claim. Driving? College Park is minutes from all major Atlanta interstates.
3. Public Transportation + Walkability
The walkable Gateway Center Campus includes the Georgia International Convnetion Center (GICC), Gateway Center Arena, and six hotels with over 1,200 rooms. Staying on campus eliminates the need for a car, as the ATL SkyTrain is your link to Atlanta’s rail system, MARTA.
