The hotel celebrates the rich manufacturing tradition of Knoxville, honoring history while welcoming the ways the city continues to grow and adapt with the time, drawing inspiration from the Knoxville Tannery, Woolen Mills, Button Factory, and other local industrial icons.

Originally a Four Points by Sheraton, the property has been completely transformed into a sleek, one-of-a-kind boutique.

Upon check-in, guests are greeted by the combined reception desk bar, creating the hotel’s signature experience. Rich leathers and textiles layered on top of polished concrete and wood accents set the stage for an authentic and moody ambiance.

The juxtaposition of modern forms with ornate detailing inspired by the Victorian surroundings creates intrigue and depth while offering a level of comfort to guests evoking a connection to the history around them.
