The Edwin Hotel, Autograph Collection
Art and appetite
This is a polished, contemporary hotel that’s a little playful, balancing good design and a relaxed confidence.
The Edwin Hotel sits directly on the Tennessee River at the edge of downtown Chattanooga, next to the Walnut Street Bridge and steps from the Bluff View Art District. From the start, it feels current and vibrant rather than nostalgic, but it’s unmistakably luxury-leaning and one of the plushest hotels in the city. Art is everywhere, from the walls to the public spaces, and the building has been designed to feel social and alive. Staying here makes sense if you want a city break with great food, good drinks, and a sense of fun and individuality.
Why we love The Edwin Hotel, Autograph Collection
-
The hotel feels like part of the city’s cultural life. You notice it straight away in the art and the general buzz about the place.
-
Its position by the river and the pedestrian bridge means walks, galleries and neighbourhoods are within easy reach.
-
The rooftop bar, Whiskey Thief, is a proper highlight. Drinks, views and an energy that makes it very easy to stay for one more round.
-
The rooftop plunge pool adds an unexpected layer, especially on warmer days.
Facilities
The main restaurant focuses on modern American cooking with Appalachian roots, using seasonal ingredients and regional flavours. Dishes like smoked green tomatoes or whiskey-braised pork belly give a clear sense of the style: rooted in the South, confident, and unfussy. Upstairs, the rooftop bar centres on whiskey and classic cocktails, with indoor and outdoor seating and open views over the river and city.
Whitebird
The light and airy restaurant focuses on modern American cooking with seasonal ingredients.
Whiskey Thief
The rooftop bar brings together cocktails, an impressive whiskey selection and views over the river and city that feel celebratory.
Provisions
Down at street level, Provisions works as a reliable stop for good coffee, pastries, and light bites throughout the day.
The hotel’s Ama Spa offers pampering treatments that make a difference after full days out or after a long drive. There’s also a fitness centre, but many people swap machines for river walks instead. When the weather is right, the outdoor plunge pool becomes another reason to stay.
