The Hampton Inn & Suites Chattanooga/Hamilton Place is a refreshingly stylish, lower-middle-range chain hotel built in 2013. The 134-room property caters to a variety of travelers, and offers an indoor pool, a spacious gym, and free hot breakfast buffet. Small guest rooms have comfy beds, microwaves, and mini-fridges, and the property's hilltop setting provides nice views from some rooms. Located 15 minutes from downtown, the hotel may be less convenient for business travelers, though the airport is just four miles away, and Hamilton Place Mall is a quick walk down the road. For those with a bit more money to spend, the Hilton Garden Inn Chattanooga Downtown has a better downtown location.

With both an indoor and outdoor pool, the latter with a slide, this lower-middle-range Hampton Inn is clearly geared toward families. Budget-minded travelers who don’t mind being 10 minutes outside of downtown Chattanooga will also appreciate this 94-room hotel. Like all Hampton Inns, this property offers free outdoor parking, Wi-Fi, and hot buffet breakfast. Well-equipped guest rooms have mini-fridges, microwaves, and super-comfy beds. The downside is that there is nothing of much interest within walking distance; Lookout Mountain and its historical attractions are a 10-minute drive away.

The upscale Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is a true destination resort and among the nation’s most popular venues for major conventions. Nine acres of lush, climate-controlled gardens attract droves of tourists, as does fast access to Opry Mills and Grand Ole Opry. Amenities include a full-service spa, 17 dining options, and numerous shops. There are almost 3,000 guest rooms that are spacious and tastefully decorated with contemporary details. But the resort’s sheer size can make it confusing and daunting to simply get around. It’s certainly not for everyone, and it’s not inexpensive, with often-hefty room rates, daily resort fees, and pricey parking. Travelers looking for a smaller, more intimate property could try the boutique Hutton Hotel, which has a stylish look and wine receptions.
