In downtown Knoxville, there’s a secret gem; the Tennesseean - a luxury 82-room hotel. Central, not far from University of Tennessee, the Market Square, and the Old City, this sparkling stay sits in the middle of the action. Across the street, you can go up the sun sphere to see a 360 view of the whole city (including where the Volunteers just won their big game against Alabama!). Shopping, dining, bars, entertainment… it’s all right there.

We love that the Tennesseean is dog friendly, luxe, but fresh and professional. The views were incredibly every which angle and the service was impeccable. Not to mention the food was curated and crafted for the perfect vacation with healthy AND yummy comfort options.
