Based on these locations, for anyone travelling from out of town, I'd recommend looking for accomodations in the Dunwoody area. This is a major business center on the north side of town and has a wide range of accomodations available ranging from Comfort Inn on the low end to the Westin and Ravinia Crowne Plaza on the high end.
Somewhere in the mid-range, I'd be looking at Residence Inn, Double Tree or Embassy Suites.
All of the above are 10 minutes from the memorial park, and probably 20-25 from the park on the river.
The area is at the intersection of Ga. Hwy 400 and I-285. 285 is Atlanta's perimeter highway. 400 is the highway that leads to the northern burbs. If 285 were a clock, 400 would cross at exactly Noon. The airport is on the opposite side at about 6PM.
Expect a 45 minute ride from the airport if there's no traffic. If you arrive or depart during rush hour, allow up to two hours. Rush hour in Atlanta is 6:30AM-9:30AM and 4PM-7PM. Except on Fridays...and then rush hour is basically all day.
