Top St. Elmo Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Chattanooga Hamilton Place

8/10 Good

"Nothing more to add ."

The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo

10/10 Excellent

"Don't miss a stay here. We didn't do a train car, but the traditional hotel room gives that train vibe, too. The entire hotel is beautiful, art-deco inspired and the staff is beyond superior. Don't miss dinner at Elsie's Daughter, it's delish. And take a drink from that bar or grab one at Caboose Bar and sit out by the firepit. I would return to this place in a HEARTBEAT!"

The Read House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We spent the night at Read House on our way home from SC. I had read about the hotel and it's resident ghost in the past, so ....of course, we had to stay! The hotel is one of the most beautiful that I have stayed in. The history of the site is an added bonus. We took a tour of room 311 and had the most engaging guide. I totally recommend a stay at this hotel!! You must explore the hotel and the grounds along with a tour of 311. Our room was beautiful, the bed super comfy, and the staff amazing. Can't wait to stay there again."
