Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown officially debuts in the heart of the Smokies, offering a unique blend of elevated Southern hospitality, rustic-chic comfort, and Appalachian charm. Perfectly positioned in downtown Gatlinburg, TN, the dog-friendly, 136-room hotel offers discerning travelers thoughtfully designed accommodations, rooftop dining with panoramic alpine views, 9,300 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, a home base to nearby major attractions, and more. The property’s arrival commemorates Hotel Indigo’s 175th hotel opening globally and features the largest and tallest rooftop destination in the market. Owned by Viral 24 LLC, Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown is dedicated to honoring its community through spaces that reflect the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Great Smoky Mountains.

SK Ballard Contract Interiors was selected to lead the hotel’s interior design and art selection. The concept marries the glamour of Art Deco with the rugged beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, inspired by the shared era of the 1920s and 1930s, when the design movement flourished and the National Park was established. This vision comes to life through bold black, gold, and jewel tones, warm velvets in the lobby, and organic accents and mountain motifs that root the space in its Appalachian surroundings. Cozy seating areas with lush armchairs, sofas, and lounge chairs are thoughtfully arranged around a central fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows to encourage connection and conversation. At Altitude Restaurant and Rooftop Bar, the outside is brought in with natural-edge tables, river-pebble tile, and greenery, complemented by Art Deco details such as mosaic chevron glass tile and shimmering metallics. Throughout the property, lighting fixtures with gold finishes, geometric forms, and cut glass add layers of sophistication, while curated works of art from East Tennessee artists and archival black-and-white photography celebrate the people and places of Gatlinburg’s past and present.

Hotel Indigo Gatlinburg Downtown’s 136 guest rooms and suites showcase a contemporary mountain aesthetic that blends style with comfort. The tufted headboards evoke mountain ridges, while area rugs and textured walls add dimension. A rust-colored velvet chaise lounge serves as a signature piece in select rooms, complemented by accent pillows in contrasting patterns and textures. In-room amenities include a 55″ TV, mini fridge, coffee maker and teas, security safe, ZENOLOGY bath products, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and more. The hotel offers four signature one-bedroom suites—The Mountain Majesty, The Indi, The Rosewood, and The Appalachian. Guests can also choose from a selection of standard King rooms and standard double Queen rooms, including 20 premium rooms with private balconies.
