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!

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.

Excellent location!! Spacious rooms and accessible to walking paths and the bridges to downtown. Valet parking as well

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.

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!

The Fire Place. The Architecture Around The Fire Place Is Detailed And Organized. Gold Decor. Glass Mirror.

The Edwin Hotel Downtown Chattanooga is a prime location waterfront that has easier access to all the finest attractions. The concierge was super nice. It was nice to have them open the front doors for us. The bellmen helped people bring up their luggage. Reserve a table at the Whitebird where chefs prepare artful creations using organic ingredients that are in Chattanooga Tennessee regions. There was someone at the hostess who was polite. The menu looked like there were delicious entrees on there. ~~~~~~~~~~~ There are spectacular views that overlooks the Tennessee River and Lookout Mountain while sipping on a handcrafted cocktail served from the full service bar on the rooftop of the hotel. There are business centers on site that offers facilities that can be booked in advance. The business center has rooms and conference rooms that focuses on the space sizes to accommodate the amount. There are weddings and banquet services. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

Ever hear of the Chattanooga Choo Choo song? It was popularized back around 1940 by Glen Miller…read moreand his Orchestra. When we were in Chattanooga, I Just had to make a quick detour to see the Chattanooga Choo Choo. It did not disappoint. The Chattanooga Choo Choo train looks very cool!! It is more than just a train though. The Chattanooga Choo Choo refers to the former train station itself. It is now a hotel and entertainment complex filled with shops and restaurants. The steam locomotive in the middle of the grounds was the highlight in my opinion. Unfortunately folks are not allowed to go on the locomotive. That's okay. I just admired it from afar. Check out the Chattanooga Choo Choo while you are in this fine city. It is definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to listen to the wonderful song too!!

I'm Nashville born and raised - grew up coming here with family and after 10 years I came back to…read moresee how the Choo Choo has held up and it's heartbreaking. It's become an abandoned, urban tourist trap. Someone has turned old train cars into air bnbs and thrown a pool in the middle of the attraction - it's smart, but sad. The cars are not taken care of, rusted paint and broken parts, most likely to keep the "aesthetic" but whoever runs it should do basic upkeep...whoever owns the property for the choo choo itself is doing a horrible job caring for what used to be an amazing tourist spot and local attraction. There is a fountain in the middle of the property next to the train and about 40 fish in it not being fed and the plants in the pond are dying, the statues in the pond have cracked and fallen over. Ontop of that, the shops in the area have lost the old-timely aesthetic and glow that comes with the train. It's turned into things like an escape room and urban murals with tacky pizza places. I wish I got the name of the store but there is only one left that truly contains the old timey vibe and sells literal toys and souvenirs that are themed to the attraction. So disappointing to see the iconic attraction be let go and unkept like this after growing up here and seeing it in its prime only 10-15 years ago. Do better!

Definitely a nice little hotel with a great pool and amenities. They have a happy hour at the bar…read morewhere each drink on the menu was $5. Make sure you toast before stepping out to explore downtown. The hotel beds are very comfortable, the rooms are clean, and they smell good. This was just a temporary halt for us on the way down south but would consider staying at this hotel next time.

I wish I had taken more pictures because our experience here was so great. But take a look at these…read moreblack out curtains, amazing considering we were in town for a wedding and we needed the darkness the following morning. From check in to the request for late check out (highly suggest becoming an IHG member) to actually checking out, everything and everyone about this hotel was truly amazing. We were greeted warmly with 2 vouchers for a complimentary glass of wine at the bar. The room was stylish and modern. I appreciated that the AC unit was hidden in a cabinet with openings, I don't see that often. What really did it for me is that the bathroom not only came with the usual hair dryer but also a plug in vanity mirror that I was able to take into the room so I could free up the bathroom for my husband. Bed, pillows and comforter were top notch, no complaints, my husband even wanted to take a pillow home. we didn't!! At check out, Donovan was so accommodating that he made a cup of coffee for my husband because we missed the coffee bar and breakfast. I will 100% stay here again while visiting Chattanooga.
