The Edwin Hotel
Art-forward boutique luxury with Appalachian soul. Think marble bathrooms and Frette linens alongside locally commissioned paintings, Crosley turntables in suites, and a rooftop bar stocked with 100+ Tennessee whiskeys. Southern warmth without being precious about it.
Book a Riverfront Suite for direct views of the Walnut Street Bridge — worth the step-up cost over a standard king
Why It Matters
Chattanooga's only luxury boutique hotel. Home to the city's first rooftop bar (Whiskey Thief), a full-service spa built around Cherokee water rituals (Ama Spa), and an in-house art collection of 75+ works by local artists. Listed in the Travel + Leisure 500. Part of Marriott's Autograph Collection.
The Edwin opened in 2018 as Chattanooga's first luxury boutique hotel and still holds that title. It sits in the Bluff View Art District, right next to the historic Walnut Street Bridge — the hotel's very name honors Edwin Thatcher, the bridge engineer who designed that span in 1890. Beyond the location, what sets it apart is a private collection of more than 75 original works by local artists hung gallery-style throughout the public spaces, making every corridor and lobby worth a slow lap.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Double Room
Two plush queen beds in the same 330 sq ft footprint as the king. Works well for families or friends traveling together. Boutique decor, city views, and marble bathrooms are consistent across all standard rooms.
Two Queens
King Room
The entry-level room and a solid choice. A plush king bed, boutique decor, and modern marble bathroom. City views from the window. Some guests note these rooms run on the compact side — fair warning if you're a spread-out packer.
KingOne Bedroom Suite
A full 660 sq ft with a separate living area and bedroom. Art-lined walls, a marble bathroom with a distinctive mural, and a private balcony in some configurations. The suites are where The Edwin's art program really shines — murals extend into the bathrooms.
KingRiverfront Suite
Double the space of a standard room at 660 sq ft. The riverfront views here — straight at the Walnut Street Bridge and the Tennessee River — are the main event. A Crosley turntable adds a nice touch. Evening turndown service included.
