ATLANTA — The Sun Dial Restaurant, Bar & View offers perhaps the best view of Atlanta.
The restaurant sits atop the 73-story Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel and has been spinning guests since it opened in 1978. The Westin was the tallest building in Atlanta until 1987; it is today the fifth-tallest building in Atlanta and the tallest hotel in the Southeast.
