Where will the new hotel be?
The new resort is located at 604 Airport Road in Gatlinburg. The Embassy Suites sits at the base of the Great Smoky Mountains. Officials say it will be a retreat for travelers to the country’s most-visited national park.
This upscale property will offer 164 all-suite rooms. Included are two-room suites and studio suites with panoramic views of the Great Smoky Mountains. The neighboring partner hotel, Hampton Inn Gatlinburg Historic Nature Trail, is connected by walkways. Therefore, the campus can accommodate large meetings and conferences.
Resort amenities and unique features
During the day, guests can enjoy drinks and light bites at Firefly Cove, the resort’s expansive water park. It features both indoor and outdoor pools, a relaxing lazy river, a water slide, a creekside hot tub, outdoor fire pits and an activity lawn with outdoor games and seating.
To help guests take advantage of the area’s myriad outdoor opportunities, Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort will feature the Guide Room. The Room is a unique amenity that allows guests to curate their adventures in partnership with local outfitter Smoky Mountain Guides.
The Guide Room will enable local travelers to explore countless off-the-beaten-path adventures. Guests will learn more about the national park’s hundreds of miles of hiking trails, wading creeks and rivers for fly fishing excursions. Visitors can also get information about driving through rugged forests on an auto tour or rafting down local whitewater rivers.
Experts with the Guide Room also provide onsite activities for guests. Included will be children’s exploration classes in the property’s three mountain streams and fly-tying happy hours for anglers. The Guide Room will also inform guests of all the local attractions they can experience while in Gatlinburg.
The Roaring Fork restaurant
Of course, you can’t have a new upscale resort without cuisine. The resort’s signature restaurant is called the Roaring Fork. It’s cleverly named after one of the national park’s most popular Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. The restaurant will offer an elevated experience with made-to-order breakfast and complimentary snacks and beverages at the daily Evening Reception.
Just inside, the Sugarlands Coffee and Cream shop offers the ideal place for gathering. The menu features coffee and tea, sweet treats, and an assortment of locally sourced retail offerings, including the renowned Greenbrier Bee Company honey.
“Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort introduces a modern resort-style hotel concept unlike any other property in the area and we are thrilled to bring this new experience to business and leisure travelers alike visiting the region,” said Logan Coykendall, president and CEO, of Hospitality Solutions.
And of course, since it’s a Hilton brand, Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort will participate in Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest-loyalty program for Hilton’s distinct hotel brands.
