If you're heading to Atlanta for client meetings or Legg Mason business, the Marriott Marquis is one of the city's landmark business hotels and your LGM corporate code works here. At roughly $238 per night versus the $280 standard rate, the savings add up fast on a three or four night trip. You're also stacking Marriott Bonvoy points on every dollar, which makes your next personal trip cheaper too.
The Property
The Atlanta Marriott Marquis sits at 265 Peachtree Center Ave NE in the heart of downtown, directly connected to the Peachtree Center MARTA station via skybridge. The hotel's 52-story atrium is hard to miss and has been a downtown Atlanta landmark since the 1980s. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about a 14 minute drive or a straight MARTA train ride south, making it one of the easier airport transfers in the city.
The Marquis offers over 1,600 rooms across its tower floors, with standard kings and doubles starting around 375 square feet, which is typical for a full-service Marriott. Rooms include a large work desk, ergonomic chair, and multiple power outlets, so you can comfortably set up a laptop and run a long conference call. Higher floors face either the iconic open atrium or outward toward Centennial Olympic Park and the city skyline.
The hotel has a heated indoor/outdoor pool on the terrace level, a full fitness center, and multiple on-site dining options including Sear restaurant and the Pulse lobby bar. There is a 24-hour business center and over 160,000 square feet of meeting space, which is why this property hosts so many large conferences. No airport shuttle, but the direct MARTA rail connection from the airport makes that a non-issue.
You're within a 10 minute walk of the Georgia World Congress Center, State Farm Arena, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which matters if your trip overlaps with events. Peachtree Center Mall is connected to the hotel and has quick lunch spots, while better dinner options like Der Biergarten and Alma Cocina are a short walk away. The MARTA Peachtree Center station is essentially attached to the building, giving you easy rail access to Buckhead, Midtown, and the airport without renting a car.

On a typical night, the Marquis might list at $280 for a standard room, but entering code LGM drops that to around $238. You'll earn roughly 2,380 Marriott Bonvoy points on that stay, worth about $19.04 at standard redemption values, bringing your effective net cost down to $218.96. That's over $61 back in your pocket compared to booking at the public rate, and it compounds nicely over a multi-night stay.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold Marriott Bonvoy Gold or Platinum Elite status, those perks apply on top of the LGM corporate rate. Gold members get enhanced room upgrades at check-in when available and a 25% bonus on points earned, bumping your 2,380 base points closer to 2,975. Platinum Elite and above adds lounge access, which at the Marquis means complimentary evening appetizers and breakfast, potentially saving another $30 to $50 per day on food.
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card from Chase earns 6x points per dollar on Marriott stays, turning a $238 night into 1,428 credit card points on top of the 2,380 hotel points. The Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card also earns 6x and comes with a $25 monthly dining credit that works at the hotel's restaurants. Either card effectively doubles your points haul compared to using a generic rewards card.
Marriott frequently runs global promotions like double or triple point campaigns, typically launching in Q1 and Q3 each year. Registering for these promos before your trip and then booking with code LGM lets you stack the corporate discount with bonus points, which can push your effective savings well past $80 per night. Booking further in advance also tends to lock in lower corporate rates, as availability at the negotiated price tier can tighten closer to travel dates.
Bottom Line: Depending on the season and room type, Legg Mason employees using code LGM at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis can expect to save between $36 and $97 per night versus public rates once you factor in points earned. The hotel's downtown location, direct MARTA connection, and strong 4.2 rating from nearly 15,000 reviews make it one of the most practical full-service options in Atlanta. It is the kind of property where the corporate rate and loyalty points actually make a noticeable dent in your travel budget.
