The W Atlanta opened last week and this being the ATL the hotel's opening party brought out some big-name local celebs like Big Boi of Outkast, hot country act Sugarland and some "Real Housewives of Altanta" ladies. The AJC reports:

The new hotel (not to be confused with its sister properties, the W Midtown and W Buckhead) hosted a Thursday night bash honoring Georgia’s Grammy Award-nominated artists.

"Not to be confused" is right. Who knew there was such a demand for Ws in Atlanta? Either way, despite this being the 4th W hotel in town, room rates are holding at a premium point. We checked the rates for this week and the non-refundable internet rates were going for $302 a night. With taxes, that works out to be $347.30 a night. A city view rate starts at $322 a night and a Cool Room with a king bed starts at $332 a night.

We're guessing the hotel is going after the Grammy crowd then as they might be the only ones left with a disposable travel income.

W Downtown

The party this past Thursday at the W Downtown was just that, a party, not an opening.  There was an opening party held for the residence portion of the property Tuesday.  The party that took place Thursday was put on by the local Grammy chapter here in Atlanta and as such did have local musicians in attendance.  The actual hotel opening party will take place sometime in March.  As for the rates, REDIC for the times we're in, they will have to come down.  I've seen the rooms, nice, but small and not worthy of those rates, at this point if ever.

Debt Consolidation

Even thou W Atlanta provide good and luxurious amenities; still it's not good to take their privileges.  Because its not practical especially in times of recession. Some might use their credit cards in this kind of hotel accommodation but do you think it's worth it?  What if in time that you really need your credit card you have already exceed its limit? Then I guess it's time that you avail debt consolidation.
Using payday loans is far better than adding fuel to the fire with credit cards.  Credit card interest adds up. If they are what got you into trouble in the first place then you might want to lay off the cards.  It's better to use installment loans then make the problem worse after you begin debt consolidation. One of the first things you should do if you enter into debt consolidation is to stop using credit if at all possible.
