Nice room with a coffee shop, restaurant and quiet stay. Rooftop pool was pretty cool too.

This is a nice facility in a fantastic location, with just a few quibbles. The lobby is gallery-like, with modern art making for pleasant public areas. The Edwin is situated in a perfect location, right at the foot of the Walnut St. pedestrian bridge and adjacent to the Hunter Museum, with the Tennessee Aquarium just a short walk away. Another great feature is the Whiskey Thief bar on the top floor, with an interesting cocktail list and a knockout view of the city, river, and surrounding hills. The restaurant, Whitebird, is fine if not terribly exciting. The rooms are smallish to be honest, but with quality finishings. I didn't care for the high-backed sofa that serves as the seating, as it wasn't really suitable for lying back with a book for a good read. It seems to be quite a popular place on the weekends. I paid over $500 with taxes, which I found high in the final analysis. There was a wedding in the hotel when I was there which may have contributed to supply and demand pricing, but I would bet there are frequent weddings so high weekend rates may just be a fact of life with this hotel.

Beautiful hotel from top to bottom. It was crowded when I was here so valet parking was backed up. The solo valet worker was working hard. Poor guy. He was great considering the circumstances. I was so intrigued by all the amazing artwork /decor and just the aesthetics of the hotel in general! So it's lots to look at throughout. On the 5th floor is where the whiskey thief bar and restaurant is located. It's beautiful as well!! And the view isn't too bad either. Ha! Actually it's AMAZING! Highly recommend the rooftop experience with a nice cocktail. The hotel concierge will validate your valet parking ticket at the front desk. I didn't really understand this. However, I did tip valet attendant upon departure. This is a super nice area and I really enjoyed taking in all the sights and sounds for the first time! I will definitely return soon!

The Edwin is truly a special hotel that made us fall in love with Chattanooga! Priced very moderately for a great value, perfectly located and fully embodying the artsy vibe we enjoyed the most about this town. Decor is beautiful from lobby to the lounge to the well appointed rooms to the Whiskey Thief rooftop bar. James is an amazing advocate for the hotel and gave us a most appreciated tour of the rooftop with a history of the town, the hotel, and best places to visit in Chattanooga. If you'll be visiting Chattanooga, look no further than The Edwin for a special stay.

Loved the location! The artsy atmosphere you had in the lobby and the rooftop area! Pool outside for when warm (kinda of chilli these past days so we didn't go) , good restaurant downstairs, pet friendly - the most important thing for us!! Room was perfect size and clean and all staff was friendly !

Although I've never stayed in a room at this hotel and can't speak on that, I have visited The Edwin Hotel many times. This hotel would be a strong choice if I were to be visiting and staying in Chattanooga. There is valet service upon check-in. Note there is very limited parking near The Edwin, so I would imagine that being your best bet if you have a car. The hotel is gorgeous! It is centrally-located in the downtown area. It has many points of interest nearby, especially the Bluff View Art District, Chattanooga's many museums, coffee shops, restaurants, the famous Walnut Street Bridge, and sooo much much more. The lobby is beautifully decorated in Modern and Art Deco design. My pIctures of our visits speak for themselves. The people who work here have all been very friendly, informative and accommodating. We have eaten in the attached restaurant named 'Whitebird'. The restaurant has delicious food! We have also gone to the rooftop bar for a cocktail during Happy Hour. The views from the rooftop bar are gorgeous, depending on the time of day. At night you can see the city all lit up and during the day you can see much of the activity going on around the park areas. The hotel is within walking distance of the many points of interest that I've mentioned. Make sure you bring your swimsuit to take a dip in the indoor pool!

Excellent location!! Spacious rooms and accessible to walking paths and the bridges to downtown. Valet parking as well

Our stay was "ok." When we checked in, the employee didn't say anything. No "you can find our restaurant here" or "thank you for choosing the Edwin, the gym is located xxx." He didn't even tell us our room number or say anything about valet parking. He. Said. Nothing. My daughter and I agreed that the decor came off as "trying too hard to be cool." Valet was exceptional. The employee in the coffee shop was exceptional. There was walking noise from the room above and noise from the hallway. We'll stay here again, but only for the location, not the hotel itself.

We think it's bourbon. But it's open with no label.  Not sure.

We booked this 3 weeks ago and called the front desk to make sure we got everything we needed since we were splurging for the big suite. We even called a few days before to confirm before the 5 hour drive. Once we arrived, someone checked our car into valet. But, there weren't enough people working so I went in to check in. The girl at the front desk assured me she didn't overbook the hotel. Somehow, the "system" did it. And our suite was given To someone else. While searching for some other place to stay and trying to get confirmation we wouldn't be here, the front desk girl told me she "bumped someone else" we did have a room after all. I still waited around the car as I didn't feel comfortable leaving out front unlocked. So I'm torn. I now know how that feels to be bumped. And now they've simply done that to someone else? Not 5 minutes of walking into the room, cleaning service knocked on our door. "Would we be needing any cleaning? It was 7:30pm! After laughing a bit he handed me what seemed to be an opened bottle of some type of bourbon. There was no label on it (see photo) He didn't speak English, so I smiled and took the bottle he handed me. Finally, ge knocked once more abs handed me two macaroons on a plate and two tumblers. See photo: After pulling some promotional material out of the first tumbler, there was a baby roach climbing from the bottom to the top of the glass. I will update this review as we go. It must go uphill from here. Right? Oh, and the dog bed and water bowl never showed up. I wonder if someone in the larger suite has a dog bed? Not drinking the bourbon! But, cheers! Also, I wonder who thinks the person that does the cleaning should also carry food abs drink on the cleaning cart? A little confused.

Managed to cross several borders not as our intent!

The most magical, memorable stay we've had since Covid started. Everyone was so pleasant and accommodating especially Chase (s) (yes, there are 3 of them in this facility)!!! From all the art work, to the pristine accommodations along the Tennessee river bank, what's not to like. Learning the history as one goes along the past, from the tragic to the moments where one gets to enjoy the celebrated life that we all live. Walking and hiking along trails forged in the heartland of possessiveness that was so decisive in our most recent past.

King room

Let's talk about five star and then let's talk about Chattanooga five star! When I think five star hotel I think the Langham in NY or any Ritz Carlton. This hotel is not 5 star. It is nice I will give it that but when you go to bed and you're a blonde and you find long dark hair and short dark hair in your bed. You think either the sheets were not washed or the maid has both a beard and long hair! Rooms are small and cute but It's not high end by any means. It's cute but luxury is not a word I would use to describe this hotel. There is nothing above and beyond here at this hotel. The whiskey rooftop bar is the best thing about this hotel!

First time staying at the Edwin Hotel in Chattanooga. We were looking for a wonderful Christmas experience that was an easy drive from Franklin. Loud construction going on right next door - so awful to listen to constant banging! The hotel's Christmas decorations are IMO tacky and ugly!!! I was expecting elegant/upscale style but instead got hot pink and cheap Our room is extremely small - NO chair or love seat - I love to read and was picturing a cozy spot to relax! While the hotel is dog friendly they do NOT provide dog beds or dog bowls (and again there is hardly any room for them to sleep because the room is so small. We used our Marriott points to keep our executive status but honestly I feel claustrophobic and so disappointed that I'm ready to leave early! We have a "view" of the valet station - the hotel doesn't seem busy at all so I don't understand why we got such a small room with no view! Construction noise is horrible! Lacking Christmas I thought the riverfront and pedestrian bridge would be all decked out for the holidays but it was so disappointing. One very sad tiny tree by the carousel and a few blinking lights on the bridge. My boyfriend had wanted to take me to the Biltmore but I thought Chattanooga would be easier & lovely- I was sorely mistaken! The room does have a small fridge and a small area for clothes. The drawers are a nice touch! Good

Noisy and loud-outside and inside. Not a 5-star by far. The Residence Inn would have been better and less expensive.

On our first night, we went to the hotel's speakeasy to unwind after a long travel day. I told the bartender I only wanted water because I was dehydrated and not looking to drink. Later she started telling me about a new drink they were adding to the menu and said, "Let me make you a drink." I agreed, assuming she was offering it as a courtesy since I had already made it clear I wasn't drinking alcohol that night. When we got the bill, she had charged me $11 for a vodka. That set the tone for the rest of the stay: staff doing the very least to help while making it seem like they're providing excellent service. Then the AC in our first room failed and the room phone didn't work either. We were traveling with our older dog who has a heart condition and cannot tolerate heat. At 10pm, the only options offered were to pack up everything and move rooms or use a box fan. This was our 10‑year wedding anniversary trip and we had to be up early the next morning. There was zero urgency from anyone on staff to find a better solution. The next morning, maintenance told us the thermostats were locked and couldn't be fixed onsite without someone offsite helping. So we had to move rooms anyway. Again, no urgency, no help, no concern. We packed everything ourselves and moved rooms alone. The girl at the front desk was completely useless in this process as well and told us that issues with the AC on the 4th floor were well known but they booked us on that floor anyway to pad their occupancy rate, I assume to influence their online rates. Additionally the hotel is wildly understaffed. Every day we were there only one person was working and handling the front desk, room service and acting as host for the speakeasy. This is potentially fine when there are no issues but when things go wrong, one person cannot man an entire hotel. This is not only unfair to the guests, it's unfair to the staff. The staff was also dressed unprofessionally. One front desk associate was wearing blue plaid pants with chains and a concert tee. THAT is how a hotel is representing itself?? No one wore name tags either, presumably for lack of accountability. Then on checkout day, the hotel had a full power outage. The AC went out across the entire building, again dangerous for our dog. My husband went to another floor to get ice and got trapped in the stairwell because the doors locked during the outage. He and the elevator repair man were stuck banging on the door for several minutes with a housekeeper nearby who didn't bother to check. He only got out because the elevator man let my husband use his phone to callme and I had to go let them out. We then had to drag our luggage down three flights of stairs with no assistance. There was no notification to guests on what was going on, no alarms, and not one staff member helping guests bring their luggage down the stairs. At the front desk, instead of apologizing or acknowledging any of this, the staff member just asked for our room number so she could check us out when the power came back. When I asked if the hotel had generators, she shrugged and said, "Yeah I think we do." Maintenance even needed OUR help to access floors and unlock stairwell doors because they didn't have proper access during the outage. Not one person apologized. Not one person tried to make anything better. It was excuse after excuse, no urgency, no concern for safety and no sense of responsibility. This entire stay was a disaster and an embarrassment to the Marriott brand. We will never stay here again and unless you like wasting your money you probably shouldn't either.

My room was clean and very comfortable, with a small couch, table and chair. The bathroom was well kept, with plenty of space for your toiletries. However, I was given a room on the second floor that looked out onto the lobby roof and the parking garage. I expected a room with a better view given my Gold status. The staff was pleasant and helpful. However, I found the internet appeared to be spotty at times. You had to reconnect every morning to the internet, which I do not recall this being required at other Hilton properties I stayed at, especially a Curio Collection hotel. In addition, you sometimes had to reconnect while in your room. One day, I went down to breakfast and although I re-checked onto the internet that morning, by the time I got downstairs, it was off again and I had to re-check in again. The parking garage on the property was free (you need to pull a ticket at first), and you get in and out with your room key. However, if you should stay passed your checkout time (like I did for lunch), when I went to use the key to leave the garage, it did not work. I had to repark, go back to the Front Desk and get the key card re-programmed. The gentleman at the Front Desk said the key card becomes nonresponsive at checkout time. I recommend the Front Desk inform its guests of this cutoff so that if you should enjoy lunch there or want to walk around the area before leaving, you are aware of this situation before you walk out to the garage and have to come back in.

My room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly large, with beautiful views of the city. The staff was welcoming, and the overall atmosphere felt upscale while still being relaxed and inviting. One of the highlights of my stay was dining at Forge, the hotel's restaurant. If you visit, do yourself a favor and order the Honey Whipped Feta. The creamy, silky feta paired with sweet honey and served with charred baguette was absolutely delicious and one of the best appetizers I've had in a long time. Between the comfortable accommodations, excellent dining options, and convenient location, The Chattanoogan is a fantastic choice whether you're visiting for business, a convention, or a weekend getaway. I'd happily stay here again.

From the moment I walked in, the place had that polished, easygoing vibe that makes you feel like you made the right call before you even hit the elevator. The environment is genuinely nice, some vintage Volkswagens were on display in the lobby... the kind of space that feels welcoming instead of transactional. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and, most importantly, stayed that way because housekeeping actually serviced them daily. That alone feels like a luxury these days. The location is not exactly the crown jewel of Chattanooga, but it nails the one thing that matters when you're traveling: convenience. It's easy to get where you need to go, easy to get back, and easy to settle in without feeling like you're fighting the city. And the staff? Warm, friendly, and consistently helpful. The kind of team that makes hospitality feel like hospitality. But the moment that won me over was the Little Debbie snack waiting in the room at check-in. That tiny touch somehow said, "Welcome to Tennessee, we speak fluent comfort food." A good hotel gives you a room. A great one gives you a reason to smile before you even unpack. That's exactly what this place gets right. It may not sit in the most exciting location, but it absolutely understands the guest experience. Clean rooms, daily service, kind staff, and just enough thoughtful touches to make the stay memorable. So I came in expecting standard hotel beige and left thinking about snack cakes, spotless rooms, and how easy they made the whole trip feel. Four stars, and yes, Little Debbie absolutely helped close the deal. And the VW's are a nice twist too!
