This large, upper-middle-range Embassy Suites is a step above many other properties in the chain, with its pristine interiors and top-notch features. Its proximity to an industrial park, and ample meeting space -- including a rooftop terrace -- draw business travelers, though tourists will also find this 203-room property convenient to the airport and Hamilton Place shopping mall. All rooms are spacious suites with separate bedrooms, wet bars, and two flat-screen TVs, though they're dimly lit. The hotel offers free made-to-order breakfast and an evening reception with drinks, as well as an indoor pool and Ruth's Chris Steakhouse next door. The Hilton Garden Inn Chattanooga is another solid option for those who need to be downtown.

Scene
Classy and beautifully decorated with stone and wood accents
The hotel's entry resembles a museum, with its enormous vaulted
ceiling, wood-paneled walls, and island lounge seats. The high ceilings continue
in the lobby, where clusters of modern brown armchairs surround a beautiful stacked-stone fireplace. Sleek natural touches, including faux tree branches and lamp bases resembling tree bark, lend extra style to the room. The breakfast restaurant is equally sophisticated and stylish, with high-quality, leather-cushioned wooden chairs at each small wooden table. Wood-paneled walls and Japanese-style screens with tree prints continue the modern-natural look. The bar is small but attractive, with metallic green paneling and delicate hanging lights. The evening reception is a busy scene, drawing suit-clad business guests, as well as families enjoying free
drinks and snacks. The wide indoor pool is surrounded by windows, and has a lovely outdoor sundeck equipped with lounge chairs and ornate, iron patio tables.
Location
Near Hamilton Place Mall, four miles from Chattanooga airport
The hotel sits
off of a fairly busy road near Highway 74 and I-75. Within the immediate area are various casual restaurants, fast-food places, and a pharmacy. The hotel is about 10 minutes' drive from the
industrial park that houses a Volkswagen plant and other businesses. Hamilton
Place shopping mall is about a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive away. The
hotel is about a 15-minute drive from downtown Chattanooga, which is about 13 miles away. The Chattanooga Airport is around four miles away, a five- to 10-minute drive. Lookout Mountain is about 25 minutes' drive.
Rooms
Beautiful and spacious with separate bedrooms
Although some are a bit dark, all rooms in the hotel are spacious suites. Each has a separate living room furnished with a sofa bed, desk, and wood cabinet for one of the two flat-screen HDTVs -- the other is in the bedroom. Decor is modern and fairly corporate, though stylish, combining dark wood with soft grays and browns, including the curtains, subtly patterned wallpaper, and wavy-striped carpeting. Furniture is clean-lined and functional, such as the square and rectangle lamps in the bedrooms. Walls are decorated with nature photography, lending refreshing splashes of color. Bathrooms are also attractive, with dark wood
cabinetry, speckled granite countertops, and shower/tub combos. Each suite has free Wi-Fi access, and a wet bar area with sink, coffeemaker, mini-fridge, and microwave. Other standard amenities include safes, ironing facilities, and iPod alarm clocks.
