The Garden Grille & Bar serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, while the Pavilion Pantry stocks snacks and ready-to-cook meals. The 1700-square-foot meeting facility includes state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment and conference spaces. Guests can utilize the indoor saltwater pool and 24-hour Precor-equipped fitness center with treadmills and ellipticals featuring video screens. The spacious lobby showcases a massive stone fireplace, and the outdoor patio offers fire pit seating. Hilton Garden Inn sits at the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park on River Road, with Christ in the Smokies Museum 0.3 miles away and Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies within walking distance.

Pros

Free afternoon cookies, water, and iced tea served in the lobby

Business center equipped with multiple computers and printers

Outdoor patio overlooks LeConte Creek

Several room types available, including suites with spa baths and fireplaces

Cons

Airport is one hour away in Knoxville

Limited on-site dining options beyond the main restaurant

“This Gatlinburg option stands out for its proximity to the national park and downtown attractions, suiting both leisure and business needs; the on-site dining and outdoor fire pit add considerable value. While some rooms include enticing fireplaces and whirlpool tubs, verify functionality before settling in, as I find that to be vital for an optimal experience. It's a generally solid choice, especially for families seeking a blend of convenience and access to nature.”
