Nestled in the heart of Chattanooga, a city celebrated for its rich culture and stunning scenery, Park Hotel invites residents to explore a new downtown lifestyle where historic elegance meets modern luxury. As part of Chattanooga’s Upper East Side, Park Hotel exemplifies the best of upscale living while offering seamless access to the city's most prominent businesses and attractions.
Originally constructed in 1915, Park Hotel was renowned for its grandeur, a legacy that Sean Compton and the team at Southern Spear Properties were committed to preserving throughout its recent renovation. “Our heart is in urban redevelopment. We believe in repurposing history to foster community,” shares Compton. “Our mission is to develop sustainable, livable, playable urban spaces where neighbors are friends and friends are neighbors. We have a passion for transforming aged spaces into thriving, sustainable, functional hubs — places + spaces to gather and do life.”
Park Hotel’s Gilded Industrial design blends early 20th-century charm with modern sophistication and amenities, merging elegant touches from the Gilded Age with more contemporary industrial elements like exposed brick and concrete. The multi-function building includes traditional residential living units, high visibility commercial spaces, and units ideal for investors seeking short-term rental opportunities that cater to those seeking the convenience of access to downtown Chattanooga. Residents and guests have access to a variety of amenities including a curated mix of retail, services, and dining. Residents will also enjoy exclusive access to a scenic rooftop lounge.
The building encompasses forty-one residential housing units ranging from studio spaces up to large 2 bedroom, 2 bath condos that feature stainless steel appliances, custom kitchen cabinets, natural stone countertops, full tile showers, and in-unit washer/dryer hookups. Penthouse units feature 12-14 foot ceilings, rooftop patios, and high-end finishes unlike any other living space in Chattanooga! Most units and common areas also boast a panoramic view of the city and surrounding mountains.
Park Hotel’s location also places residents and guests within walking distance of downtown offices as well restaurants, nightlife, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga campus, and historic museums and theaters such as the Tivoli Theater, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, Market St. Bridge, Chattanooga Aquarium, and Hunter Museum of Art.
A shared interest in revitalizing historic buildings and providing the highest quality of service brings Lucy and the Rye, a favorite regional restaurant featuring from-scratch breakfast and lunch dining, to Park Hotel. The restaurant, known for its fresh, thoughtfully prepared cuisine, brings its second location to the building’s first floor and offers residents, guests, and the surrounding community a vibrant dining experience. The restaurant will also offer events, catering, and a future rooftop lounge.
Only a couple more commercial spaces remain available for businesses aiming to elevate their brand by leveraging Park Hotel’s prime downtown location with exceptional foot traffic and historic charm wrapped in modern infrastructure.
