From the moment I got to The Dwell, I was in love. A bellman took my bags to my room whilst telling me the history of the hotel. I was just obsessed with the entire experience. I will be back!

Love this hotel. It was our first stay for our wedding. The best personal customer service I have ever received at a hotel. It is intimate in size, the bar is stylish and tasty, and the beds were very comfortable. Even though it is valet parking only, each valet was more than accomodating, careful with our vehicles, and quick. This will be our go-to hotel any time we stay in Chattanooga.

A fabulously decorated hotel with mid-century style. Every room is unique. The lobby bar is also a nice perk. Great spot for couples.

A nostalgic reminder of what hotels once were. Not just a place to stay but an adventure. Our suite had a fireplace. You don’t see that very often. Within walking distance of some great restaurants.

We truly enjoyed staying at this little piece of history in Chattanooga. The hotel sports a classy and fun style. The room was cozy and comfortable. They offered an upgrade to my original room selection but allowed me to change rooms when I wasn’t happy with the upgrade provided. All of the staff (housekeeping to management) were so very kind, and helpful.

Very helpful at the reception! Guided us the way to a nice pizza restaurant not too far away. The hotel is so different, all rooms a different style, the lobby and breakfast area something to look at everywhere

This was our first stay at the Dwell and we were a little anxious about our reservations. We were thrilled with everything the Dwell had to offer. We will definitely stay there again!

Came up for my birthday and was extremely impressed!! This is the best hotel stay I've ever had. The decor is top notch, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the rooms are stocked with all kinds of comfort items like a giant deep soaking bathtub, complimentary bath salts, a sound machine, soft silky robes to wear after your bath, a gas fireplace, and more. Extra care was put into guest comfort and you can tell that they are focused on providing a one of a kind experience.
As a fan of the show 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I couldn't help but imagine her staying here! It really feels like a nostalgic time capsule of the 50s/60s and it's done in such an artful and stylish way.
The room was very spacious, clean, cute, extremely comfortable bed (from someone with back issues who needs a comfortable bed), and I just love that each room is a different theme.
The building was built in 1909, so it has that old building feel, which is something I really loved about it.
Purchased a really cute T-shirt as a souvenir on checkout and plan to return again soon!

A wonderfully styled property with its unique design. Blended well with the classic hotel feel. Staff was fantastic, helpful, and friendly.

I rarely leave reviews but feel compelled to do so for our experience at the Dwell. This is a fantastic property - it’s unique, comfortable, clean and is impeccably decorated. My wife is a designer and couldn’t stop taking pictures.
The people are awesome- from the valet guys to Carol and Ben in the front to Monica in the bar. The bedding and sheets were top notch.
And for the record, the bar is about as comfortable and swanky as bars get- it’s perfect.
I would HIGHLY suggest this place. Lastly, it’s got 16 rooms and would be perfect for a wedding party etc.

Beautiful boutique hotel with spacious rooms and amazing design elements throughout with lots of fun, kitschy character.
2.0
Hotel had no record of our prepaid reservation and the desk clerk did not know what to do other than offer us another room at an increased rate.
It’s not clear how to get past your Virtual Assistant and it doesn’t handle this situation. Once I did get a human on the chat (after had to Google to get to a human), she was able to provide confirmation number. But it took us an hour to get this resolved, which meant no dinner before the concert we were there fo.
This is twice in the last 6 months this has happened to me.

We were made very welcome by the whole team at The Dwell, the room was very cozy with the fireplace when needed and the bathroom was beautiful. We also made use of the Matilda cocktail lounge which was a comfortable setting.
We will definitely stay again when in Chattanooga.

My stay at the Dwell property was amazing. The staff, the decor, the southern hospitality, and the ambience made it worth the stay. I really appreciate how they were very helpful and accommodating.

The check-in was quickly and efficiently executed. The front desk staff was nice and very polite. Our car was parked for us. We were given our room key while our bags were brought to our room. The room (flamingo themed) is extremely clean and beautiful. The bathroom is equipped with a tub as well as a rainfall shower. They have everything you need and will also accommodate if needed.

We loved our stay! The staff were lovely and helpful. The room was small but decorated beautifully.
The street we felt was a little suspect when we came back in late at night, but besides that we had a wonderful stay!

Great Little Hotel tucked downtown- classic retro design and furniture vibe throughout the property. Cozy cocktail bar off lobby.
Greeted by friendly and professional staff.
4.0
We loved the overall atmosphere at the hotel. The original wooden floors and banisters, along with the antiques and retro decor made if feel like we were stepping back in time. Our only disappointment was the balcony in our room. We assumed all balconies had a view, and while some do have a view of the city, the Dandelion room has a balcony with a screen above the railing to obstruct the unattractive view of the roof next door. We should have inquired about this more directly, but we will know for next time.

We were looking forward to staying at the Dwell, it was recommended in one of the articles in Southern Living. When we arrived we were greeted by a super friendly staff. We were shown to our room and that is when the excitement vanished. We wanted to take a nap before heading out, threw our bed sheets back and there was hair all over the sheet and pillows as if it was never changed from previous stay. The staff offered us a choice to have bedding changed or get a new room. We chose a new room. It wasn’t immediate but 20 min we got the new room. Room was clean. Beds and sheets are comfortable and good quality. Our room balcony faced Columbia St. Well needless to say it’s a home to a huge section 8 housing and some of the tenants love to hang out side all night and all day, with shady characters coming through every 30min, we still made it a pleasant time with some help from the bar in the lobby! The next day we find out that our A/c had stopped working and that we needed to move rooms yet again. The staff were apologetic and even offered us a discount for the ongoing inconvenience. Over all the hotel has really cool character almost like a b&b but it was sad that they didn’t offer a hot breakfast in the morning only few nat infested sconces and yogurt. Location is right downtown so walking distance from really nice restaurants.

The Dwell Hotel has done an amazing job with the decor. There are so many little corners and areas that they have given a high design feel to. I loved all the Art in the Tv's and their special mannequin heads and full sized mannequin. It was amazing to finally see it in person as the pictures are great but until you stay you don't realize how truly special it is.
The staff is amazing, Harrison, Monica, Evelyn, Caleb and Ben did a nice job keeping their patrons happy. The bar opens at 4pm and they have a very fun Happy Hour where I think even the locals show up to the bar. We had some interesting conversations and a fun time hanging out there.
The in room concierge was a nice perk and it was great to have the ability to call down to the front desk for things we needed, for example: Ice, more towels, etc.
I would definitely recommend staying here and worth the money to get a room with the balcony. Every room had something that would look amazing on Social Media. The great staff and the clean room and amenities was worth the price tag and getting to see it all in person.
Unrelated but I only bring it up because it was next door - I was sad the restaurant was no longer open after Covid, But you only have two block walk to get over to the Warehouse Row which has a couple of restaurants and a little shopping in it.
If you come to Chattanooga, Definitely visit the Aquarium when you are in that town, that was definitely noteworthy.

Such a beautiful hotel. Super friendly staff, spotless and a short walk to convention center where I was walking. A real gem
4.0
The Dwell Hotel is a nice boutique stay in Chattanooga. The decor and rooms are unique but noise seems to carry very well throughout this hotel. However, the bedding was great and staff very friendly but the breakfast was spartan - coffee, juice, granola, and scones. that's it.
