Vision Hospitality Group will open its newest lifestyle hotel, Kinley Chattanooga Southside, in Spring 2021.
Nestled in Chattanooga’s entertainment district, the 64-room hotel will combine small-city sensibility and southern charm, acting as a living room for the neighbourhood. Its design will take inspiration from local makers, marrying rich colours with earthy tones that represent the surrounding landscape. Handmade, locally curated arts will also help to create a warm and inviting environment, as will comfortable yet distinctive lounge seating in the lobby. Upstairs meanwhile, each guestroom – ranging in size from the king room to the queen bunk room – will feature amenities for the modern traveller, from an ‘honour bar’ stocked with local snacks and drinks, to custom-designed Murmaid mattresses and Kohler rainfall shower heads.
“The property will be a place where locals and visitors come to escape the stressors of the outside world and safely relax and unwind,” says Mitch Patel, President & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. “Kinley Hotels will offer a true hospitality atmosphere where all are welcome, celebrated and encouraged to create memorable and meaningful experiences, all while exploring captivating cities like Chattanooga.”
On the lobby level, The Exchange will offer a range of specialty drinks and local artisan baked goods crafted by Goodman Coffee Roasters and Niedlov’s Cafe & Bakery. The space will also transition through the day to become a cocktail bar serving small plates. Elsewhere, modern speakeasy Company takes its name from the 1880’s speakeasy, in which frequenters became a community – or company – of those in the know.
General Manager Michael DiMaria adds: “Kinley Chattanooga Southside is designed to be the living room of the neighbourhood, fostering sincere relationships between guests and the surrounding area. Our centralised location, coupled with the hotel’s southern charm and design features, will empower guests to explore their sense of adventure and discover Chattanooga’s outdoors – and indoors.”
Derived from the word ‘kinship’ and centred around the mantra of “Sincerely Yours,” Kinley Chattanooga Southside will form part of Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio and marks the second outpost for Vision Hospitality Group, joining a sister property in Cincinnati’s downtown district, which opened in October 2020.
