5 Stars for The Read House! Matt, our tour guide, was very informative of the history of the hotel and was also quite funny and good at telling the mysterious goings on of the hotel! Evan, our valet, was courteous and efficient in taking care of our car and luggage. Our room #818 was beautiful! I highly recommend Bridgman's Chophouse, especially the gouda mash potatoes, the bacon mac n' cheese, and the mexican cream corn were all phenomenal!! Chris, our waiter was Hilarious and an excellent server. The hotel is Beautiful, you just have to see it for yourself b/c it's hard to explain how extravagant it is!!! I will definitely be returning in the future!!

We traveled with this hotel as a destination in itself. It is one of the oldest hotels in the Southeast. It has a lot of positive attributes, but it is in no way a 5-star hotel. The first thing is that we booked a room in the Read House historic hotel, and on arrival we were directed to the "Manor" building, which is a separate building, connected by a hallway, but built 100 years after the historic tower. This was not clear when booking, and we were told for an additional $30 per night we could move to the tower of the hotel. No thanks. Our room was very small and with a window to nowhere - just an interior opening in the building. It was very unappealing. That said, here are some of the Pros and Cons of the Read House. Pros: A really nice lobby that is elegantly decorated and maintained. Very friendly people from the doormen to the front desk. A great location in the center of downtown Chattanooga. Cons: Bait and switch. I booked a historic hotel and was given a room in the less attractive Manor with a small room and no sky view. An awkward swimming pool with nowhere to change and no lockers or changing rooms. You are forced to enter the hotel in wet attire. No complimentary coffee. A Starbucks is the only option. Overall, this was a good hotel, but not a great one.

Of course you can find someplace cheaper to stay, but if that is all you crave, then just stay home! For my part, a weekend away in Chattanooga and a stay at an old world place like The Read House, makes me wonder why I ever go home! This hotel is in the very middle of all the action in Chattanooga. The staff there wears uniforms and they treat you like royalty. The lobby and the lobby bar are recently updated and simply elegant. I was in town to attend the Chattanooga Motor Car Festival. Of course, someone interested in collector cars is going to likely arrive in a fairly special car themselves. I arrived in my BMW M5, and the valet team treated me like I was some sort of car god, especially Jeff T. and his valet team. I oohed and ahhed over my car like it was a $5M Ferrari. He stipulated to his team that he should personally be called each time my car was to be driven! I have never been treated so royally and I have stayed all over the world!

Great downtown location. Valet parking was very helpful and convenient. Our room was very clean and spacious, very nice bathroom. This was more than expected in a historic hotel. The staff was very friendly. To make it even better - there was a full Starbucks on the street level.

Can’t find enough positive things to say about this historic treasure. According to our kids “the BEST hotel” we’ve ever been to. Beyond the beautifully appointed 1920’s-themed decor, the people made it perfect. From Timmy, Nate, & CJ- exceptional Valet pros- to John who took us on an amazingly spooky tour of the infamous Room 311, we felt wonderfully welcomed and look forward to a return visit!! You could spend several hours just wandering around and taking in all the history. We didn’t get a chance to dine on-site but the restaurant is gorgeous, and there’s a very convenient Starbucks on property as well. Small but lovely indoor pool that our boys loved and a small but super clean fitness room too. Location can’t be beat, we parked our car when we arrived and went everywhere on foot or bike. Can’t wait to return!
