Bluff View Inn - Historic Tudor-style riverside bed & breakfast with antique furnishings and river views
Located in three turn-of-the-century homes overlooking the Tennessee River, this 2-star Chattanooga hotel occupies a prime spot in the Bluff View Art District. The historic Maclellan House, the main building of Bluff View Inn, showcases an English Tudor design and contains period pieces throughout. The property features 13 individually decorated rooms across its buildings, including the Thompson House with four guestrooms and two apartment-suites. Each accommodation includes air conditioning, free WiFi, cable TV, and complimentary bottled water, while select rooms offer spa baths, balconies, or fireplaces. A free full breakfast is served daily, and guests have access to an on-site restaurant, coffee shop, and garden terrace. The Hunter Museum of American Art stands 328.1 ft away, while the Tennessee Aquarium and Walnut Street Bridge are within a 1.5-kilometer radius. Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport is situated 9.5 miles from the property.

“Kelley, the innkeeper, clearly sets the tone for a stay that feels both personal and polished. I appreciate the walkable location near Chattanooga's attractions, balanced with the quiet of the Bluff district. Breakfast at Rembrandt's offers a decent start, and the historic house offers an authentic experience, so the early morning deliveries are noticeable, though manageable.”
