Holiday Inn & Suites Chattanooga Downtown

Holiday Inn & Suites Chattanooga Downtown, in the heart of Chattanooga, offering a comfortable city-centre base for athletes travelling for IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Chattanooga. Ross’s Landing, the main event hub, is around 0.6 km away, making the location particularly useful during event week.

The hotel has a relaxed, welcoming feel, with a spacious lobby and comfortable communal areas that make arriving and settling in straightforward. Its central position puts you within easy walking distance of the riverfront, local restaurants and attractions, while the fourth-floor sun deck provides another place to sit and unwind between activities.

We offer the hotel on a Room Only basis, giving you the flexibility to choose meals around your own training schedule. Rodizio Grill, the on-site Brazilian steakhouse, serves lunch and dinner, while a good choice of cafés, diners and restaurants are only a short walk away. This makes it easy to find an early meal, a post-training snack or something more substantial when you need it.

For training and recovery, the hotel has a 24-hour fitness centre with treadmills, an elliptical, stationary bike, rower, stair stepper and free weights. The heated indoor pool is open year-round and can be useful for gentle movement or relaxing after a long training day. There is also an outdoor sun deck, while the nearby Tennessee River and Riverwalk offer an easy option for a relaxed walk and some time outside. An on-site laundry is another practical benefit for athletes managing training kit during a longer stay.

Rooms here are spacious and designed with rest in mind, with plush bedding, blackout shades, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a work area, coffee maker and mini fridge. Suites add separate living areas, while selected rooms offer city views, giving you a comfortable place to organise your kit and switch off between event activities.
