# Quiet places at Atlanta airport without a lounge: sensory room and chapels

ATL lists a sensory room on Concourse F, a prayer room and two chapels open 24 hours. No quiet seating. Past those, it's Minute Suites or a day pass.

A prayer rug in a quiet room

The airport keeps a prayer room and two chapels open around the clock, and there is one sensory room, on Concourse F. It names no calmer seating anywhere else, so past those rooms the quiet is a paid one: a Minute Suites room or a day pass to The Club at ATL.

## Where ATL puts its quiet rooms

| Place | Where | Security |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sensory room | Concourse F | Not stated |
| Concourse F Chapel | International Terminal atrium, second floor | After security |
| Concourse E Chapel | Top of the escalator on the right, behind the Martin Luther King, Jr. exhibit | After security |
| Domestic Terminal Chapel | Atrium, third floor | Before security |

ATL’s amenities page says the prayer room in the Domestic Terminal Chapel and the chapels on Concourses E and F are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our [chapel page](https://atlairportguide.com/amenities/chapel-prayer/) lists all three.

## The sensory room on Concourse F

Our [sensory room page](https://atlairportguide.com/amenities/multi-sensory/) lists one room, on [Concourse F](https://atlairportguide.com/terminals/terminal/#concourse-f). ATL’s maps page speaks of “sensory rooms” in the plural and says its printable ADA and Special Services Map marks them, along with adult changing stations and nursing mothers rooms. That map is where to confirm the exact spot, because the airport publishes no hours, gate or house rules for the room.

If the checkpoint is the hard part, TSA says passengers with non-visible conditions such as autism spectrum disorder can be screened without being separated from a traveling companion, and that you can tell the officer about the condition if screening needs adjusting. A companion who helps during screening is rescreened. Our [security page](https://atlairportguide.com/security/) lists each checkpoint with its hours.

## Chapels: what the airport lists, and when they’re in use

ATL runs the chapels as a chaplaincy. In its words, the chaplaincy is a ministry of presence to the interfaith community of passengers and employees. Its page doesn’t say whether someone who isn’t worshipping may sit in the room.

Services follow a weekly schedule, so a chapel can be in use when you arrive. ATL’s service list calls the Domestic Terminal Chapel the Domestic Atrium Chapel.

- **Concourse F Chapel:** Catholic Mass or Communion at 11:30 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
- **Domestic Terminal Chapel:** Jumu’ah prayer on Friday at 1:45 p.m., and Prayer and Musical Worship on Saturday from 5-8 p.m.
- **Sunday:** non-denominational services at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., listed for the Domestic Terminal Chapel and the Concourse F Chapel without pairing each time to a room.

The Chaplain Office sits next to the Domestic Terminal chapel and opens 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. The chaplaincy answers at (404) 762-1051.

## Calmer seating: what ATL doesn’t say

ATL’s pages name no quiet seating area and no crowd map.

The Plane Train is your way to the Concourse E and F rooms. Our [Plane Train guide](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/plane-train-walking-between-atl-concourses/) gives the wait between trains and what to do if it’s slow. Check the distance from your gate before you commit to a room: ATL’s interactive map on its maps page shows terminals, concourses, gates and services.

If you’re nursing or pumping, the lactation pods are the other private space ATL lists. Each locks from the inside, has bench seating and an outlet, and the Mamava app gives access instructions. Our [nursing page](https://atlairportguide.com/amenities/nursing/) lists the pods on each concourse.

## When a free room doesn’t work

| Option | Where | Hours | Cost |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Minute Suites | Concourse B near Gate B24 | Open 24 hours | Priced per suite |
| Minute Suites | Concourse F next to Gate F6 | Open 24 hours | Priced per suite |
| The Club at ATL | Concourse F, mezzanine level | Pages differ | Day pass, no membership |
| Be Relax | Concourse B near Gate B22 | Daily 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. | Spa and massage |
| XpresSpa | Concourse C next to Gate C36, and Concourse D next to Gate D26 | Daily 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. | Spa and massage |

Minute Suites says it prices per suite rather than per person and sets a one-hour minimum. It adds time in 15-minute steps and posts each airport’s price on that airport’s page. A third suite sits in the middle of Concourse E, and our listing gives it no hours.

The Club at ATL sells a day pass to anyone departing, whatever the airline. ATL’s amenities page prices it at $40, and the Club’s own page at $50 for one adult. ATL’s amenities page gives its hours as 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily, while ATL’s directory gives 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.

If the wait runs through the night, our [overnight guide](https://atlairportguide.com/guides/sleeping-at-atlanta-airport-overnight/) sets out ATL’s access rule and the options that stay open.
