The Spotlight on Embassy Suites By Hilton Knoxville Downtown

Stylish Downtown Comfort with Rooftop Views

Modern and spacious, Embassy Suites By Hilton Knoxville Downtown brings Southern charm and urban convenience together in one of Knoxville’s liveliest areas. Set right in the city center, this all-suite hotel is just steps from downtown venues, buzzing nightlife, and cultural landmarks. With sleek décor, a rooftop terrace, and amenities designed for both relaxation and fun, it makes a great base for any music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're here for the music, you're in the right place. Embassy Suites is within easy walking distance of several major venues, including historic theaters and open-air stages. After the show, head back to a quiet, spacious suite—thanks to the hotel’s solid soundproofing—and enjoy the rooftop views or a late-night bite. The 4:00 PM check-in time gives you plenty of flexibility, and staff are known for offering helpful advice on the best ways to get around, even late at night.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends will love the roomy suites and hangout-friendly vibe.
Solo travelers can enjoy security, comfort, and a relaxing space after the show.
Couples can make a full weekend of it with romantic rooftop cocktails and downtown strolls.
Fans needing quiet will appreciate the peaceful, sound-controlled rooms.
Budget-conscious music fans will get solid value with free breakfast and spacious suites.

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar offer satisfying eats and drinks without needing to leave the building. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s prime downtown location means you’re surrounded by walkable dining options well into the night. Start your day with a buffet breakfast—perfect after a night out—and unwind with drinks on the rooftop terrace.

Nightlife Options

Step out the door and you’re surrounded by Knoxville nightlife. From low-key wine bars to energetic pubs and live music spots, there’s something for every mood. Prefer to stay in? The hotel bar offers a stylish, laid-back atmosphere with local craft drinks and skyline views.

What People Say

Reviews rave about the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Guests love the rooftop bar and terrace for pre- or post-concert hangs. Many mention the free breakfast as a great start to the day and appreciate the walkability to Market Square and downtown venues.

Areas for Improvement

Parking is available, but comes with an extra charge, and can fill up on busy nights. A few guests noted that the seasonal pool isn’t open year-round, so check dates if that’s important to your stay. Room décor is modern but may feel a bit corporate to some.

The Bottom Line

Embassy Suites By Hilton Knoxville Downtown offers concert-goers a stylish, well-located home base—complete with rooftop views, easy venue access, and all-suite comfort.

Poor

Liked: The people who worked the morning breakfast where very attentive. The breakfast was good and lots of variety. We loved the service every morning.
Disliked: The rooms were not very clean, there was white pieces of i don't know what on our floor we complained about it daily. The first four days we were there the showers were cold. We complained about it every morning before it was fixed. I will not stay at this location again.
