The Spotlight on Bluff View Inn

Stay in Style at the Historic Bluff View Inn


Charming, artsy, and full of character, Bluff View Inn is nestled in Chattanooga’s scenic Bluff View Art District. This cozy inn spans three beautifully restored historic homes, many with views of the Tennessee River. You're just a short walk from the buzz of downtown and major attractions like the Hunter Museum of American Art and Tennessee Aquarium—plus, it’s only a few minutes’ stroll to some of the city’s best music venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert nights are stress-free here. You can walk to several downtown venues in under 10 minutes, meaning no parking hassles or pricey rideshares. Despite being central, the inn’s riverside location gives it a peaceful, quieter vibe—ideal for winding down. With a 2:00 PM check-in and a leisurely 11:00 AM checkout, there's ample time for a post-show sleep-in. Plus, the neighborhood is compact and walkable, so catching a late-night bite or Uber is easy.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a unique, local stay
  • Solo travelers checking off a dream concert
  • Couples making a romantic weekend out of it
  • Music fans needing a quiet, scenic place to recharge
  • Budget-conscious travelers who still want charm and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a free hot breakfast—served a little later than many chain hotels, perfect after a late night. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the inn’s on-site restaurant and nearby eateries are all within a short walk. Whether you’re craving upscale dining or a casual bite post-show, options are close and convenient.

Nightlife Options

While the Bluff View Inn itself is more about tranquility than nightlife, it’s just minutes from downtown Chattanooga's vibrant bar and live music scene. You'll find craft cocktail lounges, brewpubs, and laid-back music bars nearby—great for extending the night after the encore.

What People Say

Guests rave about the historic charm, peaceful atmosphere, and perfect location—close to everything but still quiet enough to relax. Many highlight the friendly staff and the inn’s artsy neighborhood vibe. The river views and cozy rooms also get high marks, especially after a long night on your feet.

Areas for Improvement

If you're looking for modern hotel features like a gym or 24-hour front desk, this quaint spot may feel a little old-school. Some rooms vary in size and amenities, so check the details when booking. Also, while it’s walkable, hilly streets may be a consideration post-concert.

The Bottom Line

Bluff View Inn is a charming, convenient stay for concert-goers seeking a quiet home base with personality, comfort, and walkable access to Chattanooga’s music scene.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

We will not be back.

Disliked: The water in the sink went down slowly. No breakfast was served, meal tickets were given to go across the street for breakfast. Rain was pouring down each morning. On the way out we stopped to get something for the car. It was less expensive item - however, we were told that we could only have what was on the list, no exceptions, even though the item was less expensive. Would have been nice to have store bought muffins available on the rainy days so we didnt have to go out in pouring down rain. Innkeeper seemed unconcerned.

Will not be back.

Liked: Cleanliness was superb
Disliked: Water went down bathroom sink slowly. Breakfast was unacceptable for the rate to stay in the Inn. No sleeping in - u had to be at the restaurant at 10 if you wanted anything. Missed breakfast the first morning. Second morning we were going to take something in the car going back to Atlanta - I ask for a $4 bagel but told all they could give me was the three choices even though they were more expensive. How about some muffins by the coffee in the morning.

We thought they were bluffing

Liked: Location, room and bed
Disliked: Bathroom was a bit tired with a very strange set up of curtains restricting light into the bath/shower making it very gloomy Breakfast was obtained via a voucher for a local eatery down the street and was very limited and ok at best.In-house breakfast at this property only served at weekends, we were told.As a result the price per night seemed steep.

We'll be back!

Liked: The uniqueness of the properties and location is exceptional, we will definitely be coming back and hope to try out one of the other homes. We parked the car and never had to move it until it was time to leave, everything we needed was on that block and its walking distance to other local businesses. The views, hospitality and location are top notch.
Disliked: Mattress could use an update

Beautiful property….

Liked: The homes are beautiful and the breakfast was so delicious!
Disliked: The beds. We were moved to a different house because the bed was uncomfortable. We hoped the second one would be better; it was not. They really need to invest in comfortable beds and pillows.
