Find a Hotel in Downtown Knoxville

We’re told Southern hospitality has its own flavor. It’s rich and smoky, with the slightest waft of barbecue…or is that just the scent that wafts through Knoxville, Tennessee, on any given day? The kindness of strangers is an everyday occurrence in “K-Town," as is the taste of its sweet, tangy barbecue sauce.

You didn’t just come here to eat, although that’s certainly on your docket. You came to breathe in the fresh air in the Great Smoky Mountains, to listen to up-and-coming bands that play across the city, and wander through a historic district that has stood the test of time. You’ll find much to see and do no matter what time of year you visit, and when you book downtown Knoxville hotels through Travelocity, all of K-Town will be at your fingertips.

What is there to do in Knoxville for free?

A frugal traveler is a wise traveler, and Knoxville has numerous activities you can enjoy without spending a great deal of cash.

Those who travel know how powerful Mother Nature can be. Nowhere is this more evident than when you hike the trails of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Locals and visitors flock to this haven of rivers, forests, and waterfalls. Take a morning hike and watch the sun gently burn through the fog, or venture out in early afternoon to enjoy a picnic near a babbling brook.
