The Oliver Hotel Knoxville, By Oliver - A historic 1876 boutique hotel with speakeasy bar and chef-driven dining in downtown Market Square

Located in a beautifully restored 1876 building on Market Square, this intimate 28-room Knoxville hotel features modern upholstered headboards, plantation shutters, and antique accents throughout its accommodations. The Oliver Hotel's dining program includes Oliver Royale restaurant, serving seasonal ingredients and craft cocktails, plus the Peter Kern Library speakeasy with Prohibition-style drinks. The property offers 24-hour front desk service, a business center, and complimentary WiFi. A team of local insiders staffs the front desk to assist guests. The property sits in the heart of downtown's walkable district, providing access to historic sites, art museums, local music venues, and parks. Knoxville's Urban Wilderness, offering 50 miles of trails and a 500-acre wildlife area, lies just one mile from The Oliver.

Pros

Hidden speakeasy bar features literary-themed cocktails and intimate ambiance

Prime Market Square location steps from Tennessee Theatre and local dining

Locally-staffed front desk provides insider knowledge of the area

Two distinct on-site dining venues offering regional and seasonal cuisine

Cons

Limited room count may mean less availability during peak periods

No on-site parking facilities (valet and nearby garage parking available)

“This hotel impressed me with its blend of historic charm and modern amenities, especially the hidden speakeasy; moreover, the staff goes above and beyond to deliver personalized service, right down to the handwritten notes. Located steps from Market Square, the hotel provides a great base for experiencing downtown Knoxville, and that alone is enough to give it my recommendation. It's clearly more than just a place to stay.”
