Knoxville hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Knoxville hotel deal

• If you’re interested in recreational activities like biking, canoeing, and hiking, choose a hotel near Ijams Nature Center, a large natural park with more than 10 miles of paths and trails, as well as on-site equipment rentals for bikes and kayaks. The Executive Inn is a budget choice that is less than a 10-minute drive from the park.
• Want to stay in a neighborhood with a variety of restaurants, shops and attractions, such as the Tennessee Theatre? Pick one of the many hotels in downtown Knoxville, such as the Hilton Knoxville. The Hilton Knoxville is a six-minute walk to the historic Tennessee Theatre and the local convention center.
• To see a particularly scenic view of Knoxville, book a hotel next to the Sunsphere, a large tower that was built for the 1982 World’s Fair and now gives visitors panoramic views of the entire city. The Tennessean Hotel is only a two-minute walk to the structure and is located in a building that was also constructed for the World’s Fair.
• If you would like to experience Knoxville’s nightlife, choose a hotel on Gay Street, such as the Hyatt Place at the downtown location. Many of the city’s most popular bars and restaurants are on Gay Street, including Downtown Grill & Brewery and Chivo Taqueria.
• For art enthusiasts, consider staying at a hotel near the Knoxville Museum of Art, such as the Holiday Inn, which is just a four-minute walk from the art museum. The Knoxville Museum of Art specifically showcases regional art and has several exhibits dedicated to presenting the history of East Tennessee.
