The Waymark Chattanooga

Book

The Waymark Chattanooga is a 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, Tennessee, housed in a restored 1927 bank and surrounded by restaurants, shops and the city’s main attractions.

Arriving here feels straightforward and relaxed, with a welcoming lobby and comfortable communal spaces leading up to the hotel’s rooftop terrace. The building combines its historic character with a modern feel, while the rooftop seating and firepits give you somewhere to unwind and take in views across Chattanooga after a busy day.

We offer the hotel on a Room Only basis, giving you the flexibility to choose when and where you eat. The hotel has Iris restaurant serving American dishes, as well as a coffee shop and breakfast options, while plenty of cafés and restaurants are within a short walk.

For training and recovery, there is an on-site fitness centre for keeping your routine going during event week. There is no pool or spa, but the hotel’s rooftop terrace provides outdoor space to relax, while the nearby Tennessee Riverwalk offers an easy option for gentle walking and light movement away from the main event activity. The central location also means you can reach the riverfront without relying on transport, which is useful when you want to keep things simple around your training schedule.

Rooms here are designed for a comfortable reset, with high-quality linens, blackout curtains, air conditioning, mini refrigerators, in-room coffee makers and walk-in showers. Double-glazed windows help create a quieter environment, while selected rooms and suites offer mountain views and extra space to settle in with your kit.~
