Graduate By Hilton Knoxville - A Downtown Hotel with University-Inspired Design and Two Distinct Dining Venues
Located in Downtown Knoxville's central business district, this 4-star Knoxville hotel features soundproofed rooms equipped with air conditioning and flat-screen TVs. Graduate By Hilton Knoxville offers multiple room configurations, from double rooms to suites. The property houses two on-site dining venues with a total capacity of over 150 people, including Saloon 16 - created in partnership with UT legend Peyton Manning. Guests can stop by the lobby-level Poindexter coffee shop for lattes and breakfast sandwiches. The Graduate By Hilton positions visitors 0.5 miles from Neyland Stadium and within 1 mile of major attractions including the Sunsphere, Knoxville Museum of Art, and Knoxville Convention Center. Eight restaurants operate within 0.3 miles of the property, ranging from Gus's Good Times Deli to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.
Pros
Partnership with UT legend Peyton Manning for unique venue Saloon 16
Walking distance to eight diverse dining options
Soundproofed rooms for quiet stays
Central location near major Knoxville attractions
Cons
1 mile from main shopping area at Market Square
Limited on-site recreational facilities
“The hotel's university-focused theme and lively social events create an engaging atmosphere, and its downtown location puts guests close to dining and entertainment; valet parking simplifies access, though it's the only option. Its unique approach may not appeal to everyone, but for those seeking a vibrant stay near the University of Tennessee, it's a reasonable choice.”
