which is similar to Downtown Chicago. Think lots of tall buildings with condos and fancy but good restaurants. Tech Square is in between Midtown and campus and will have some additional restaurants that cater to students.

It won't be fun to run from Tech Square. It's far enough from Piedmont Park that it will be a pain to get to (imagine a bunch of crowded sidewalks with lots of stoplights to get there) and college campus will potentially be very crowded (though probably runnable).

If you want to stay in Midtown and run you probably want a hotel nearby Piedmont Park (there are a bunch on the west side of it). I don't love the dining/watching game options around here as they are typically aren't casual for my taste.

Inman Park and Virginia Highlands are two nearby neighborhoods if you prefer that sort of vibe (more like Lincoln Park or Wicker Park but of course different). Hotel Clermont is in between and also near the Beltline. The Beltline is a mix-use trail that you can run on and i don't think will be too crowded when you want to go. There are also breweries and restaurants all along it from super casual to my favorite steakhouse in Atlanta. You can also rent a Lime and take it down the Beltline to Inman Park for other good food options. There are similarly some good bars to hang out on Highland Ave which would be a long-ish walk from the Clermont.
