The Oliver Hotel

Loved The Oliver Hotel. Great service and most comfortable, clean rooms. Special shout out to Chris at the front desk.....he went above and beyond the call of customer service. Location is great....located right next to the Market area of downtown Knoxville which is filled with shops and restaurants. On Saturday, the Market area hosts a Farmers' Market, which just added to a wonderful stay. Next time we are in Knoxville, we will make our way back to The Oliver.

My experience at the hotel was exceptional from start to finish. Chris Dunbar truly stood out for his professionalism, knowledge, attentiveness, and great sense of humor. Communication with the front desk was seamless, especially through text, and Chris was always quick to respond and eager to help. He played a huge role in making our stay so enjoyable that we are already planning our next trip back.

The hotel’s location is ideal, situated right in the heart of the area and within walking distance of most attractions and restaurants. One of the unexpected highlights was the hotel’s signature toiletries — the soap, lotion, conditioner, and shampoo all smelled incredible. I honestly wish I had purchased some to bring home.

The beds were extremely comfortable, the rooms were spotless and fresh-smelling, and every aspect of the stay exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend this hotel over any other in the area. I truly do not have a single negative thing to say about the experience.

The location in downtown Knoxville is perfect at this luxury boutique property. The historic building is beautifully maintained and the guest rooms are generously sized. The staff makes any stay feel like you’re home. Let them park your car on arrival and enjoy everything downtown by walking around.

Our first time visiting this hotel. The hotel was very clean and well appointed. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Be sure to visit the Speakeasy!
We will definitely be back!

Everything about this hotel is phenomenal. The staff, location, decor, food...I could on and on. Don't miss out on this place if you are looking for a hotel in downtown Knoxville.

Fantastic location-right off the square! Very walkable to all restaurants and shops! Front desk staff was incredible! Friendly and so accommodating! Will definitely stay again next time we are in Knoxville!

We loved The Oliver Hotel in the heart of Knoxville's Market Square. Had a lovely dinner with friends and was there for a University Sporting event. The staff are so helpful and with all going on in the world they made us feel like we were at home and on vacation. We had a delightful twilight Ghost tour, learning some of the history of the town through some interesting stories! Hope to be back again next year!

Highly recommend! The hotel is oozing with character. It’s meticulously clean and very comfortable. The front desk staff were kind and friendly. Had lovely cocktails and appetizers in the restaurant as well.

Front desk is very helpful! This was our second visit and hoping to plan the next one soon! The attention to detail is incredible. We also love the restaurant, I had the double bone in pork chop and it was delicious!

The Oliver Hotel is a boutique hotel on the corner of Market Square. It has the added benefit of having one of the best restaurants in Knoxville (Oliver Royale) and one of coziest places to have a drink (Kern Library) in the same building. We go there several times each year. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

From our first step into the lobby and being greeted by Chris, our stay was lovely. The room was nicely appointed (beautiful wood tables throughout). Candy selections in the hallway were unexpected and tasty. Conveniently located to dining options and shopping. A stay that added nicely to our vacation experience and a return trip is anticipated.

All of the staff were amazing--friendly and professional. Our room was very spacious, charming and clean. This was our first stay at The Oliver Hotel, but it definitely will not be our last. The overall experience was memorable and we look forward to returning.

The Oliver is perfectly located in downtown Knoxville and maintains the old world charm. The service and friendliness from the staff is welcoming and delightful. And the speakeasy - it’s a gem! The room was clean and accommodating. The Oliver is a boutique hotel - not the typical MARIOTT or Hilton chains. I would stay there again.

The hotel falls way short of expectations at this price level. Our room had filthy carpet which makes one wonder about the overall level of cleanliness.

Wonderful, historic building and charming hotel! The staff were lovely, the ambiance was relaxing and fun. The location is a 10/10! We got drinks from the speakeasy and brunch at the restaurant. The room was cozy wtih good amenities. However, I do think they could splurge for king pillows on the king beds.

Though our stay was brief, our experience was great! The check in process was smooth and our request to upgrade to a king room was honored at no additional charge. The suite we were in was very comfortable, clean and cozy. The check out process was also smooth.

Great location on Market Sq. Nice, well appointed rooms with in room coffee service. Very friendly staff that go above and beyond to ensure guests are happy. Affordable rates. Restaurant has great food and drinks. Don’t miss the speakeasy (though can be a bit loud).

Hotel is nice but don't expect to gain access to the Hotel's restaurants unless you have a reservation.... or anywhere else on the "square".

The Oliver Hotel offers all the old world charm with modern amenities. The location is fantastic on Market Square and easy access to campus. Our favorite spot every time we visit.

Absolutely wonderful hotel! So charming - right in the heart of downtown Knoxville! Upon check-in, you are offered champagne or a beer! Our room was big and overlooked the Market area (shops and restaurants). They have a really cool speakeasy - had a drink there before dinner. Walked around the corner to Stock and Barrel for dinner - great burger and amazing fries! Big TV’s for watching sports. Connected to the Oliver is a Tupelo Honey restaurant and the hotel’s nice restaurant called Oliver Royale - I intend to try that if we get back to Knoxville. I will for sure stay here again unless it’s a game day weekend - a little pricey then. You can’t beat the location for exploring downtown.
