Accommodations

A uniquely East Tennessee experience.

The Tennessean's rooms balance modern comfort with a distinctly East Tennessee character, with fine linens, pillow-top mattresses, and marble finishes. We especially love the Classic King rooms—well-appointed and spacious with fine linens, a pillow-top mattress, and a large bathroom with shower, they have everything you need to relax.
Gym

Tennessee training regime.

The fitness center is well-stocked for your time in Tennessee, with Peloton bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, free weights, and everything in between.
Restaurant + Bar

Locally sourced and genuinely Knoxville.

The Drawing Room is The Tennessean's intimate dining spot, serving locally sourced produce and artisanal charcuterie in a room with scenic downtown views. Unpretentious and rooted in the region, everything is served with Knoxville's signature charm. The bar also comes well-stocked with top-shelf spirits, wine, and beer, and a good menu of cocktails.
  • Vibe
    Unhurried Southern hospitality with a downtown Knoxville edge.
  • Who's it for?
    We love The Tennessean for travelers who want a proper downtown base without the big city hustle; couples, solo travelers, and families will all find plenty to work with, whether that's hitting the trails, kayaking, or working through Knoxville's surprisingly deep roster of restaurants, pubs, and microbreweries. The arts scene is worth factoring in too, with museums and public art all within easy walking distance.
  • Location
    The Tennessean sits in the heart of downtown Knoxville on World's Fair Park, adjacent to the Knoxville Convention Center and less than a mile from the University of Tennessee.
