Located steps from the Tennessee Riverwalk and Aquarium, this historic 4-star Chattanooga hotel features 241 rooms with soaring lobby ceilings, dramatic chandeliers, and checkered floors. The property completed a $25 million renovation in 2018 that restored its 1920s glamour while adding modern amenities.

Guest rooms feature complimentary gigabit WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and mini-refrigerators. The hotel sits 0.5 miles from the Convention Center and 9.5 miles from Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport.

Inviting Indoor Pool

The indoor pool offered a relaxing atmosphere, and while it was a bit chilly, it provided a refreshing way to unwind after a long day of exploring. I loved how spacious and beautifully designed it was.

My stay at The Read House was absolutely delightful! The historical ambiance combined with modern amenities truly made my experience feel special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our time was enjoyable, and the in-house dining at the Chophouse was a real treat. On the downside, I wish the breakfast options were more varied, but overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.
