Crowne Plaza Knoxville Downtown University By Ihg - Pet-friendly downtown hotel with indoor pool and two-story fitness center

Located in Downtown Knoxville, this recently renovated Knoxville hotel features an indoor pool, two on-site dining venues, and a two-story fitness center with Peloton bikes. The 4-star Crowne Plaza offers spacious rooms equipped with HDTVs, work areas, mini-fridges, and aromatherapy relaxation kits. Business travelers can access 15670 square feet of meeting space across 10 venues, including three 130-inch screens with built-in sound systems. Mahogany's Restaurant serves American cuisine, while The Library provides cocktails and casual dining. Crowne Plaza's Executive Level includes a private lounge with complimentary breakfast and snacks. The property sits within walking distance to Market Square, Gay Street, and the Tennessee Theatre.

Pros

Two-story fitness facility with 24/7 access and Peloton bikes

Executive Lounge offering exclusive breakfast and refreshments

Indoor heated pool operating from 6 AM to 11 PM

On-site marketplace featuring University merchandise and travel essentials

Complimentary downtown trolley service for easy city exploration

Cons

Self-parking charges apply at $15 per day

One mile distance from University of Tennessee campus requires transportation

“Crowne Plaza's location, a block from Market Square and near UT Knoxville, positions it well for both leisure and university events; the on-site restaurant and lounge are definite advantages. I think the high-tech meeting spaces and fitness center, complete with Peloton bikes, set it apart for business and wellness. It's a solid choice, in my view.”
