The Read House Hotel - A historic 1920s landmark with Art Deco design, indoor pool, and three dining venues in downtown Chattanooga

Dating back to 1872, The Read House showcases Jazz Age glamour following a $25 million renovation in 2018. The 241-room Chattanooga hotel features soaring lobby ceilings, Waterford crystal chandeliers, and checkered floors. Three distinct dining venues include Bridgeman's Chophouse, Bar & Billiards speakeasy with waitresses in flapper attire, and a full-service Starbucks. Guest amenities encompass a heated indoor pool, fitness center with Peloton bike, and 12 event spaces including the Silver Ballroom accommodating up to 400 guests. The property provides 24/7 valet parking and complimentary gigabit WiFi. Located in downtown, The Read House sits within walking distance of the Tennessee Riverwalk, Tennessee Aquarium, and Chattanooga Convention Center.

Pros

Original 1920s architectural details preserved, including baroque Silver Room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors

Speakeasy-style Bar & Billiards offers craft cocktails and billiards tables

Room 311 maintains historic elements like vintage clawfoot tub and offers ghost tour experiences

USDA Prime steaks and seafood served at Bridgeman's Chophouse

Cons

Valet parking costs $28 per night

Room service breakfast available only on weekends

“Steeped in nearly two centuries of history, this property strikes me as a Southern landmark updated for modern travelers. I appreciate the recent renovations blending Jazz Age aesthetics with contemporary comforts, while the on-site dining clearly aims for an upscale experience. Its central location near top attractions makes it a solid home base for exploring Chattanooga.”

The Read House offers a unique blend of historical charm and luxurious experience, making it a memorable stay. I found the atmosphere to truly transport me back in time, with stunning decor and exceptional staff. However, parking and room service could use improvements, especially during inclement weather. Overall, this hotel represents great value, particularly for those seeking a taste of history in their stay.
