The Super Bowl has become one of the largest annual events for the VIP and a fleet of private jets are expected to touch down in Atlanta ahead of its 53rd incarnation on February 3 2019.
This year’s event will be contested by the seemingly ever-present New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams, who make their first Super Bowl appearance since 2002 and the first since their controversial relocation from St. Louis. For the Patriots, it will be their fourth Super Bowl in five seasons.
Ahead of Big Game Weekend, we bring you the ultimate VIP guide to the city, including where to eat, where to sleep, what parties to be seen at and, of course, how to get the very best seats inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the game itself.
