Leisure & Business

This Knoxville hotel goes the extra mile to provide guests with fitness classes to help them stay fit. There is a fitness room on site. Finally, the property houses meeting rooms and a 24-hour business centre featuring conference equipment and a xerox.

“Staying on Gay Street places you perfectly for Knoxville's vibrant downtown scene; the modern design captures the eclectic spirit of the city, and you're steps away from cultural hubs like the Bijou Theatre. I particularly appreciate the convenience of having a Starbucks right in the lobby; it's a great starting point for exploring or attending events at the nearby University of Tennessee. It's a solid choice, especially if you want to explore Knoxville.”
