Atlanta is a major logistics corridor, and if you're with FedEx Freight American Freightways, odds are you're passing through regularly for terminal visits, regional meetings, or connecting through Hartsfield-Jackson. Corporate code 954105683 gets you a discounted rate at a downtown property that's 14 minutes from the airport and close to the freight offices south of the city. Instead of burning per diem on a full-price room, you pocket the difference and still earn IHG points on every dollar.
The Property
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta Downtown sits at 111 Cone St NW, right in the center of downtown Atlanta between Centennial Olympic Park and the Peachtree Center district. The neighborhood is walkable to the Georgia World Congress Center, State Farm Arena, and dozens of restaurants along Peachtree Street. Hartsfield-Jackson is about a 14 minute drive or a quick MARTA ride from the Five Points station, which is a few blocks away.
Rooms at this property come in standard king and double queen configurations, with suites offering a separate sitting area for spreading out after a long day on the road. Expect a work desk with good lighting, free Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, and a microwave in every room, which is standard for the Express & Suites tier. The hotel carries a 3.9 rating across over 2,200 reviews, which puts it solidly above average for a downtown Atlanta mid-range option.
Every stay includes the Express Start hot breakfast, which covers eggs, bacon, pancakes, and a rotating selection that'll save you $15 to $20 each morning versus eating out. There's a fitness center on site for early morning workouts before meetings. The property does not have a full restaurant or bar, but downtown Atlanta has you covered within a two block walk in any direction.
The Peachtree Center MARTA station is within walking distance, giving you a direct rail line to the airport without dealing with Atlanta traffic. CNN Center, the AmericasMart complex, and the downtown convention district are all less than a 10 minute walk. For dinner, Ted's Montana Grill and Der Biergarten are nearby, and the Sweet Auburn Curb Market is worth the short trip for a quick, affordable lunch.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold IHG One Rewards Platinum or Diamond Elite status, those perks apply on top of the corporate rate. That means you can get room upgrades when available, late checkout, welcome amenity points, and bonus point earning of up to 100% extra. Even Gold status adds a 40% bonus to your base point earn, turning those 2,380 points into over 3,300 without any extra spend.
The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase earns 5x points per dollar on IHG purchases, which would turn a $238 corporate rate night into 1,190 bonus card points on top of your base hotel earn. The card also gives you automatic Platinum Elite status and a fourth reward night free on award stays of four or more nights, which compounds nicely if you stay frequently. If you carry the Traveler card instead, you still get 3x on IHG spending with no annual fee.
Keep an eye on IHG's quarterly promotions, which frequently offer double or triple bonus points on stays during specific windows. Booking these promo periods while using the corporate code lets you stack the discount with accelerated earning. Also, booking directly through IHG rather than third-party sites is the only way to earn points and maintain rate eligibility, so always go through the official site or app.
Bottom Line: Depending on the night and season, FedEx Freight American Freightways employees can expect to save between $32 and $86 per stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Atlanta Downtown using code 954105683, especially once you factor in points earned back. It's a solid downtown location with free breakfast, easy airport access, and enough comfort for a business trip without blowing your per diem. For frequent Atlanta runs, this is one of the better value plays in the IHG portfolio downtown.
