    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.

    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

    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!

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

You walk through the station and out to the track (Gate 11 per the signage; Track 29 in the song). It was cool to see what the old depot was like. It had an elevated platform to look into one of the old passenger cars. Old passenger cars are now lined up in the back of the area which serve as overnight room stays. There are various activities on the grounds and people selling items under tents (like a flea market). Some history markers are on the grounds also highlighting the Chattanooga Choo Choo's past.

This is an open floor plan, modern decor restaurant complete with a lengthy bar area. It is very open and modern except for the kitchen, which remains partially visible through windows from the main dining area. It was a Wednesday night and was surprisingly slow at 6:30, in terms of the crowd, or lack thereof, with only three other tables occupied during our visit. Our server, Jonathon, was very polite, attentive, and professional. Especially in contrast to my observation of the other server, whom I observed going through the motions of waiting in tables like a bored veteran server who might have been half drunk. Just an observation, but he kind of had our attention while serving a nearby table. He clearly knew what he was doing and mostly pulled off a good job, it was mostly timing and tone of voice and the way he was gliding across the room. Good for that guy. It was pasta night and that meant pasta specials, so I figured this was one of those, "our best game" dishes and ordered the bolognese with rigatoni. I also ordered the Appalachian Salad, which was spinach, radicchio, blue cheese, pine nuts, 5 oz beef tenderloin tip, red wine vinaigrette. I asked for medium rare and got well done. But both were fantastic. I did not think the bolognese would satisfy my appetite, it was filling, but I did t want to be hungry an hour later and the steak with salad deliciously helped. My wife had the herb crusted salmon, chive-pepper-corn couscous ragout, fried basil. And there was a lot of couscous, probably a cup and a half if not two cups. This too was delicious. I was intrigued by one menu item we did not try for $25 as an appetizer, deep fried egg yolks with crème fraiche and caviar. I know to get that, the yolks must be frozen, then breaded and fried to be crisp on the outside but runny yolk inside. I couldn't interest my wife in this adventure, but someone else try them and let us know? Staff were all very hospitable. Free valet parking for a couple of hours, right at the entrance in fact. Value was reasonable and good quality, quantity and flavors were very good. It didn't blow us away, but we were not disappointed. The only crazy thing was $14 for a small pour on a glass of Chardonnay, but that's the way it goes for dining out nowadays. This was a decent choice for our dinner out while visiting Chattanooga. I will say, Jonathon, our waiter, did a five star job.
