About this trap
Dozens of Atlanta streets start with Peachtree, and they are separate roads. West Peachtree Street NW runs parallel to Peachtree Street NE, usually a block west in Midtown, and Peachtree Street becomes Peachtree Road once it reaches Buckhead. A hotel or event address with the wrong suffix or quadrant can send you to a different part of town. Type the full address into your map, add a cross street, and confirm with the host. MARTA stops such as Peachtree Center and Midtown make easy anchors.
