The Spotlight on Marriott Knoxville Downtown

Modern comfort steps from Knoxville's music scene

This sleek, downtown Knoxville stay blends upscale style with convenience, making it a great base for a night out. The Marriott Knoxville Downtown offers a polished, contemporary vibe just a short walk or drive from local music venues and downtown attractions. Whether you're catching a show at Neyland Stadium or exploring Market Square, you'll appreciate the hotel's central location and thoughtful amenities.

Why Concert-goers love it

With many venues within a mile, including the University of Tennessee and Neyland Stadium, you won't have to go far after the encore. Late-night returns are easy thanks to the 24-hour reception, and the hotel's peaceful rooms with blackout curtains make it a great spot to recharge. Fast free Wi-Fi and a reliable front desk add to the smooth post-show experience. Plus, the check-in time of 4:00 PM gives you plenty of time to settle in before heading out.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends wanting a stylish downtown base
- Solo travelers catching a big-name tour stop
- Couples looking to turn a concert into a weekend getaway
- Music fans who appreciate quiet after the show
- Budget-conscious travelers who want good value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry at the Marriott Knoxville Downtown. The on-site Hudson’s Restaurant serves up American favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—ideal for grabbing a meal before or after a show. The Lounge offers cocktails and beer in the evening, perfect for pre-show drinks. While 24/7 room service isn't available, there are vending machines and plenty of local eateries within walking distance. Late risers will appreciate a leisurely breakfast after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Start your night with a drink at the hotel lounge, then head out—Knoxville’s downtown bar scene is right outside your door. Whether you're looking for a chill pub or a lively club, you’ll find plenty of choices nearby. While the hotel doesn't host live music on-site, it’s only a few blocks from some of the city’s best concert spots.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent downtown location. Many reviews mention how convenient it is for walking to events and restaurants. The modern design and comfortable beds also get high marks, as does the well-stocked fitness center for a pre-concert energy boost.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that parking can be a bit pricey and occasionally crowded during big events. While most rooms are quiet, being in the heart of downtown means you might hear some street noise on weekends—light sleepers may want to request a higher floor.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a stylish, central, and comfortable stay close to Knoxville’s top music venues, the Marriott Knoxville Downtown hits all the right notes.

Great property enhanced by the...

Liked: The location, the staff - ESPECIALLY NINA at the Club room. She was exceptional. We traveled as a group and they have all insisted that we send the property this important message about NINA. I even heard other guests compliment her. The reception staff were also very welcoming and pleasant. But NINA stood out from the very good service.
Disliked: Because we travelled in a group, there was much confusion when we did payment

Liked: The location was OK and it seemed to be clean
Disliked: I booked a room with King bed sofa with garden view and was given a handicap room with no sofa and a parking lot view. The staff was inconsiderate and would not give me a reduction of price or credit on my stay.
