Stay in a Historic Train Hotel in the Heart of Chattanooga 🚂

All aboard! But make it boutique. 🚂

We’ve found great deals for one of Chattanooga’s coolest stays, set inside the historic Chattanooga Choo Choo complex in the city’s Southside neighborhood. The Hotel Chalet at The Choo Choo (rated 4.7/5 on Tripadvisor) is part of one of Chattanooga’s most iconic landmarks, leaning hard into the nostalgia without feeling dated. The property features an alpine-themed outdoor pool with fire pits, an on-site Appalachian bistro, and heated bathroom floors that make even a budget room feel like an upgrade. Rates start from $99 a night, with the lowest prices in July and solid availability through fall and winter.

For a Chattanooga getaway with a little history, a little comfort, and a lot more personality than your standard chain hotel, this one is a seriously fun find.

🏴‍☠️ Pirate tip: The location is a big win, too. You’ll be right in downtown Chattanooga, about 0.5 miles from Finley Stadium, 0.8 miles from Tivoli Theatre, and 1.3 miles from the Tennessee Aquarium and Hunter Museum of American Art.
