The Oliver Hotel

Gorgeous hotel, amazing room and wonderful staff! All the comforts of home and steps from Market Square and tons of activities! Great stay!

A lovely place with terrific decor and atmosphere. It was an ideal location for my conference, too. The desk person was really friendly, even putting me in a suite because of a hiccup with my check in. Definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful hotel, close to a great courtyard with lots of restaurants and shops. A block from downtown. HOWEVER, this place is so unique, we wanted to just hang out in the room, lobby, and we had dinner in The Royal which did not disappoint. I recommend the Chilean Sea Bass.

Exceptional accommodations and one of the coziest beds ever. In room snacks and elegant Speakeasy in the lobby. Affordable parking around the corner and conveniently located adjacent to Market Square and Gay Street and the multiple dining, shopping and entertainment options.

It was a nice budget hotel vibe - not a true luxury hotel. Overpriced in my opinion but great location.

The staff was lovely too.

Great hotel in the midst of town, just off Market Square. Very friendly and helpful staff. Lots of good eating options nearby. Cheap, convenient parking garage nearby. And nice art in the public spaces!

Love the character of the hotel.

The Oliver Hotel is a great boutique place located right off Market Square in downtown Knoxville. Lots of great restaurants to choose from, including their own. Within a mile of lots of sights. And the staff were very helpful when one of our bags were delivered close to checkout time, they gave us some more time. Parking is tricky, but they have valet service.

Chris was the best!

A beautiful historical property with well-appointed rooms, attentive staff, and fabulous nearby options for food, entertainment, and shopping.

Nice room.

It was the most amazing hotel with amazing hospitality and service. So wonderful.

We had an excellent stay...

Excellent location and restaurant

The location of this hotel is superb! The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Because of a serious flight delay, we arrived at 3:00 am and were offered a glass of champagne! That is exactly what I needed at that point after a grueling day.

We stayed here on our wedding night, and they upgraded our room! Chris was amazing and so accommodating to us!

This is a small pretty hotel in a nice lively area. Parking was easy at the nearby garage. Room was nice and clean. I enjoyed my stay there.

Great local hotel. Enjoyed our stay

Beautiful hotel in downtown Knoxville Market Square! They upgraded us to a suite upon arrival that was gorgeous! We enjoyed a drink in the bar and loved their secret Speakeasy! Will definitely stay here again!

AJ did it all. He was the greeter, checked us in and if necessary, valet. Lots of mints and candy jars throughout the hotel. Very friendly, well located and would plan to stay again next time in the area. Parking garage next door was full on Sunday when we arrived but with patients a spot came available. No ticket, no problem they sort it out on Monday morning.

Loved everything about it. Outstanding service.

Excellent service, perfect location. Room is charming.

Staff is very friendly!

The property is a boutique hotel. They have done a nice job of making it warm and eclectic without being overdone. Put room was on the small side but clear and the bathroom was larger. Would stay here again as the location is excellent. We also enjoyed two brunches at the restaurant.

This property has everything you would expect of a hotel The beds are so comfortable, rooms are clean and well cared for Location is perfect Nothing - so good we returned and stayed a second night

We enjoyed our stay at the Oliver. Great location. Walkable to many restaurants and store. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good place to stay in downtown Knoxville.

The hotel exceeded our expectations. It’s located in the perfect location (right by Gay street). Would definitely stay here again!

Top Fav of staying at when we visit our daughter at UTK!!

What a hotel, lovely staff, classic, large rooms, feature bathrooms, amazing cocktail bar

Perfect hotel and location for our mother-daughter trip to Knoxville. Everything was so convenient and easy. Will stay here again

Exceptional

Valet parking made it easy at this city location. Just steps to Market Square. Peter Kern Library, a a Prohibition style bar was fun. Comfortable bed. Move bathroom amenities.

Perfect location and really sophisticated feel to this quaint hotel. Food options all around and in the hotel were wonderful.

The Oliver is a fun, boutiquey hotel with two restaurants attached to it. We ended up eating somewhere else because there was a foul odor coming from one of the restaurants. After we checked out, I found out there was a speak easy on premises. I wish I had known because I really would have liked to have gone. The front desk lady was super nice. Love the champagne when we checked in.

From check-in to check-out it was amazing service in a cozy boutique hotel. Perfect location to everything downtown.

Wonderful stay!

Excellent location immediately adjacent to Market Square. Inexpensive parking garage next door. Room was quiet.

Great hotel in a perfect location right on the square. The restaurant and speakeasy are wonderful. The rooms are comfortable with great showers. If you don't want to valet, there's a parking garage just around the corner.

We absolutely loved the Oliver hotel. We wanted a change from the usual hotel chain and we got that. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We will definitely return to the Oliver hotel!

Room was clean and properly stocked. Came with robes and slippers as well as toiletries. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was appropriate for the season. Room was quiet even though it fronted Union Ave, the main street and was right next to Market Square. Location was superb and walking distance to a plethora of dining and shopping options as well as Old City. Hotel was charming and the staff was superb..

Lovely Boutique hotel in the middle of everything. Staff went above and beyond at check in and everything was lovely. Rooms are fantastic

A wonderful little boutique, hotel with great service and amenities, and very clean upscale accommodations.

Beautiful!

Rooms were well appointed with plantation shutters- our room was facing Market Square with a nice view Looking forward to the chance to visit other Hotel Olivers

We had a fantastic 2-night stay at The Oliver! Our room was comfortable and spacious. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was the perfect location for us to visit our Vol at University of Tennessee and enjoy dinner and drinks around Market Square, Old City and Gay Street. We walked everywhere! My only complaint is that the stairs leading to the rooms were dirty and needed to be vacuumed. But…We would definitely stay again!

Staff was professional and efficient. We'll be back!

Great spot; cannot beat the location!

We very much enjoyed our stay. This is the second time we stayed. We will defimitely be back.

This trendy hotel is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance to the University of Tennessee campus, Thompson-Boling Arena, Sunsphere and Knoxville Convention Center. Great food places within 2 minutes of hotel- Pete's Restaurant, JC Holdway, Tupelo Honey and Cruz Farm. Staff at The Oliver were very personable and accommodating. Within the hotel there is a Speakeasy that makes tasty drinks.

Clean room, great location

Comfortable

Staff were so friendly. Clean and quiet. Perfect walking distance for everything. We opted out of renting a car on our trip and this location was great walking distance from whatever you need.

Great location in the Square, good restaurants great staff

Love this hotel! One of our favorites to stay in Knoxville if it’s available. Unique building with impeccable staff.

Our room was very clean and well stocked! It is in an excellent location too! The staff was also very accommodating. I would love to stay there again!

We enjoyed our recent staycation at the Oliver. Mr. Chris from the front desk was very helpful, and his customer service was top-notch. He helped with a vase for the roses I had for my wife and with many other things that went above and beyond what is generally expected. All of the front desk associates were kind and helpful and valet was prompt and useful. We will definitely have more nights here. Thank you.

Clean rooms, extremely nice staff, candy everywhere and the most perfect location.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful and the staff exceptional. Chris Dunbar at the front made our stay incredibly enjoyable and his professionalism kindness and fun attitude will never be forgotten.

Charming hotel and the best location. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. The staff was so helpful. Valet made it ver convienient.

We absolutely loved this place! They treated us like a king and queen as soon as we arrived. The room was beautiful and clean, the staff were very helpful. Loved having valet service. Great location. Walking to the conference center, Freds, Petes, Cafe4 and Stock and Barrel. Recommend all of them. Was quiet in the evening for a restful sleep. Oh, Robes and slippers!!!

Room was clean and orderly.

Very cool. Best place to stay in Knoxville.

Great rooms very comfortable, speakeasy is awesome and the restaurant brunch was very good. Close to everything and the staff was great especially Chris.

Great value next to many shops and restaurants with great room size

Very nice

Better than a big chain. It was just so pleasant.

Very nice hotel and service.

Very friendly and accommodating front desk staff. The hotel is very unique with cool little add ons like a selection of candy on each floor, complementary coffee all day, and great toiletries. We'll definitely book again when in town.

Chris, Allan and Matt were so helpful, room Wes terrific, restaurant and speakeasy exceptional!

Excellent

Staff was wonderful. Clean room with comfortable beds. Speakeasy had great ambiance and even better drinks!

Spotless room with great amenities; staff was outstanding!

Check in was easy, the staff was amazing. Love the library. The hotel exceeded all expectations. Had a old/classic feel, yet was well taken care of, clean, with modern amenities.

Great staff Walking distance to great food and drinks Had a small issue and it was handled quickly and professionally

Staff was very friendly, clean rooms

The staff were all top notch!!

Absolutely loved it, and I recommend the hidden speakeasy

Perfect location near restaurants and shopping in downtown area. Hotel staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Only downside is the , room could be cleaner.

The Oliver Hotel is a must if you are in Knoxville! Phenomenal hotel with beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds and convenient to the market area. Fun place to stay. We will be back!

Really nice hotel centrally located. The speak easy bar and their staff were the highlight of the night.

Incredible room, comfortable bead and amazing linens. Absolutely great staff. Top notch service and attentiveness.

Great stay!!

Perfect stay! Quiet, charmingly decorated, comfortable, and ideally situated for fun explorations. There is not a single thing I can suggest. It was perfect in every way!

Cute

Great hotel and very clean

Wonderful room and wonderful customer service

The room exceeded expectations and the staff was friendly. Everything was easy to get to. The room was huge and comfortable.

Clean. Safe. Walking accessible to restaurants. One bar and two restaurants attached conveniently to the motel

Clean, helpful staff and great location

Staff was great but the room had a few cleanliness things. I found a fake nail by the bedside. The tv wouldn’t turn on and finally we figured out someone had unplugged it. We heard a dog barking in the hotel and we had no clue those were even allowed. We stayed here for a mini moon 4 years ago and came back to celebrate our anniversary.

Great Stay!

Great service

Great location.

Very qua

Room was spotless. Staff was amazing. Location was perfectly centralized.

Very friendly staff, super clean room.

The building was impressive in a great location

Always excellent

Great staff. Always our go to staycation.

Great staff!! Friendly and helpful!! Loved all the details

The place is a fabulous hotel with excellent staff especially AJ, the hotel manager. He was extremely helpful and professional. The Room I had was a suite that was fantastic.large and clean.with a lot of extras.

We can’t wait to come back! Loved the location, room was immaculate, and the staff were amazing.

Staff, bar, style of room .. fantastic hotel, will stay again

Excellent location and pretty place

I really enjoyed my stay at The Oliver, the staff were the best that I have ever experienced, and I have stayed at a lot of places. Everyrhing was perfect...thank you, I will be back.

Love these small boutique hotels. Steps from your door plenty of restaurants, shops and bars. Hope to return again.

Quaint Hotel centrally located…Friendly staff

Room was great, staff was super friendly, awesome location.

Staff was outstanding! Very cute hotel, great location! Parking garage was less than a block away and only $3 for overnight parking.

I never leave reviews, but I feel like The Oliver Hotel deserves one. This place just had such a cool vibe. Friendly and fast check in, small details around every corner, accessibility to nearly everything! Our room was clean and aesthetically pleasing! We will be returning guests!

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone and would love to stay here again if we are ever in the area.

Clean, very courteous and helpful staff!!

Very nice room and amenities compared to the "chain" brand hotels. The helpfulness of the staff and overall warmth they displayed set this place apart. Our new "go to" hotel in Knoxville!

We will definitely stay here again. In fact, we're already planning another trip! The Oliver is classy, convenient, and comfortable. Loved the speakeasy!

The hotel is well situated with lots to do within easy walking distance. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We would definitely stay again!

Love!

Comfortable room. Great staff. Love my stays at The Oliver.

Chris and Shack at the front desk were amazing, great hotel, great nice friendly staff. Definity will be going back.

Beautiful hotel right in the heart of downtown knoxville!

Lovely 'boutique' hotel right in the centre of Knoxville, with economic parking options just round the corner. Coffee in the lobby and candy near the elevators were nice touches. Upscale feel and a nicely refurbished old building, with friendly reception staff. As it's an older builder, the walls appear to be a little thin, as we were able to hear the next room on the phone and other nocturnal interactions. Other than that, would thoroughly recommend for a quality downtown Knoxville stay.

My husband and I stayed one night to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We were greeted with complimentary champagne and an upgrade to our room. Once to our room, we had a hand written note and chocolates. The staff is extremely hospitable and made sure our evening was special the entire stay.

Great downtown location!

Top quality hotel with great little speakeasy attached

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful with everything I needed. They helped with my luggage and valet parking my car.

Great location, great restaurant options, check in staff really helpful sorting car parking and providing advice re dining options

this property was all it was billed to be and more. very roomy, so nicely appointed. staff was friendly and it was very charming, comfortable and service was amazing.

Absolutely enjoyed our stay. We are restaurant owners and live close to Knoxville. We tend to do a lot of staycations. We will definitely be back!

excellent stay! friendly staff, clean room, and comfortable bed.

Excellent

I always love staying at The Oliver. The location is fantastic. The area is very walkable and there are lots of food options nearby. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

Chris very helpful at front desk

Great location, friendly and helpful staff

The room was immaculate and decor was beautiful. Location couldn’t be better

Great experience at the check in desk!

Loved the charm of the Oliver and the area it was located. Gave us a real taste of Knoxville.

Absolutely gorgeous and such kind staff.

The room was nice but we had construction going on right outside the window that was extremely noisy. We never got the room cleaned although we asked for it. The staff was very nice though.

Everything was wonderful until there was construction in the stairway next to our room at 9am

This is one of my favorite hotels I have ever stayed at. Great staff! Everything you need! Great location and quiet.

The only thing that I didn’t care for was the lack of free and available parking around the hotel. The best option for self park was around the corner on the opposite side of the block.

Close to the market street green area, quick walk to the theater (reason we were in Knoxville). Very nice!

I loved my larger room this time. Staff is great. Lovely hotel. Good coffee bar in room!

Beautiful area, restaurants, bars, and entertainment all within walking distance. Building it self is amazing old architecture.

Great place to stay and love the area of town it sits in.

Wonderful 🌻

The hotel was clean and the staff was excellent. The in room robes were just what I needed.

Awesome, newly renovated boutique hotel with lots of shopping and nightlife surrounding the property

Charming, relaxing and beautiful.

Beautiful, unique hotel with direct links to amazing restaurants.

Great hotel and wonderful staff.

The Oliver Hotel is a charming step back in time with modern conveniences. We loved the personal and friendly nature of the staff. The choices for local food was great, especially the Creperie. The small shops close by made for a fun shopping experience. Driving back and forth to UT was a breeze. The only negative was that the Market park was unwalkable in the evening due to homeless individuals.

First rate place. They truly think of everything. The staff was extremely accommodating. Our group had drinks in the bar that were exceptional. Will definitely return here when in Knoxville

The location is outstanding. Walkable to numerous dining and entertainment options. The staff was very friendly and very helpful! The rooms are unique and aesthetically pleasing. The hotel had just updated the phone system so there was a small issue but the staff assured us they were working to resolve it. We will return for a future stay.

Great place to walk and have dinner

Being able to stay in a room I used to live in at The Oliver was soml

Booked this as a gift for my parents anniversary and they said they enjoyed it very much. The room was up-to-date and comfortable. The staff were nice and it’s located conveniently close to shopping and restaurants. They loved it!

Wedding anniversary

Good location in the heart of Knoxville. Near to attractions and the market square. Excellent service.

Very cute design and nice size rooms. The front desk was not that friendly and didn't help or ask if I needed help with my large bags.

Very unique Hotel. Room was huge. Bathroom and shower very spacious . Room was quiet and within walking distance of shops and plenty of places to eat as well as venues. Room was cold and you could adjust the temp on the A/C if needed and this is huge now days as most hotels lock the thermostat. Worth the price and the staff were amazing , friendly and very accommodating. Would most definitely stay here again.

Refrigerator did not work but room was clean and spacious

I was allowed to check in early, and upon my request for an upgrade to my room booking at a nominal cost, I was upgraded at no charge. The hotel seems to be a renovated property, and the rooms are outfitted in a 70's motif, with brass dome lights and decor. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom classically stylish. The water pressure in the shower left something to be desired, and that is often a result of an older structure renovation. The rooms are not exactly soundproof, other guests can occasionally be heard. The only criticism of the room are the bath linens; an upgrade would put this hotel another notch up, There is no swimming pool nor fitness center, again indicative of a boutique hotel. The staff was accommodating, and stretched thin; the front desk staff seem to perform numerous functions such as typical front desk activities, to running the valet, to accommodating guest requests. Often there is a sign on the desk explaining this and a promise to 'be right back'. In all instances this was the case, the desk is not unmanned for long. There are bicycles guests can check out for free. The room attendants did a great job, my room was cleaned daily. Great stay, accommodating snd friendly staff, and hidden behind a slide door is the Peter Kern Library, a speakeasy bar where you will share booths.

Adorable boutique hotel in downtown Knoxville. Charming interior and rooms. Cool speakeasy. Two restaurants connected to hotel.

Loved the location and decor! We had trouble getting help at the front desk on multiple occasions and also found the parking to be a hassle.

Great

Very classy hotel close to downtown and an amazing speak easy bar!

Super nice place!

Great place to stay.

Located adjacent to the Knoxville Market Square, the Oliver is very comfortable, with friendly staff and an excellent adjacent restaurant, as well as numerous options nearby. Worth the effort of navigating street/utility construction in the area (April 2025). Valet parking helped!

A lovely hotel convenient to so much.

Great boutique hotel with friendly staff in the heart of downtown Knoxville

The atmosphere is very relaxed, warm, and the style is chic.

The room was perfect! The front desk staff were friendly and professional! Liked the valet parking!

We loved everything about this hotel! The decor, cleanliness, proximity to the town square, great restaurants attached to the hotel, etc

Nice hotel- well appointed and clean. The only thing was that the towels were a little worn and the bed linens had some small stains. But overall a great hotel and a great location.

The Oliver Hotel is in a great location, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and stores around. Everything was in perfect walking distance from this hotel. The hotel is very well run with great staff who genuinely seem happy there. The hotel vibes are warm, happy, and charming, and evoke a nostalgic feeling that is such a unique experience. The rooms are large, clean, and laid out in a practical manner. The bathroom is spacious and comfortable. The room provides everything you need. It is clear they put a lot of work into ensuring that we had a great stay, with a lot of thoughtful touches that you just wouldn't find in other hotels.

Todo increíble, las habitaciones, servicios y la atención en general fue excelente

Good hotel

Lovely hotel. They get it. True hospitality.

The Oliver is a true gem. Originality meets comfort meets cool. Close to anything and everything. An absolute must stay!

Excellent, beautiful hotel and rooms. Walking distance to many activities.

Great location very walkable area. Cute hotel that felt very comfortable. Staff was excellent. Unique in a great way.

Need some form of business area - rooms don’t have desks and no place else in hotel for use of laptops, etc.

Great staff.

Great locations and very cute hotel!!

Great front desk staff! Always greeted when leaving our returning! Welcomed with a complementary beverage! Great restaurant and food attached to the hotel. Perfect location!

Great experience.

Great downtown property, unique older building. Enjoyed our stay, location for dining and drinks is great.

Our second time at The Oliver. Absolutely love it. The rooms are beautiful & comfortable. The staff is exceptional and the bar/restaurant is wonderful. We will be back!

We stayed 3 nights at the Oliver and it was excellent. Rooms are huge, well decorated and clean. They have everything you need. Great restaurants and shops a few steps away. The staff was the best I’ve experienced. 100% will stay here again

Great location for exploring Knoxville! Wish we could have gotten into the speakeasy :( We waiting more than 1/2 hour in a cold, dimly lit hallway with no seating and finally gave up. Also would loved to have had a lobby or place to sit and chat with the other couple with us. All in all a 9/10 and would stay again

Historical feel to it and very clean and very nice

Such a charming boutique hotel and right in the middle of everything.

Fabulous….

I’ve already recommended this hotel to family who may come through here again. And I recommend it to you!

This property was located in a great location.

Great staff

Very cool boutique hotel. Comfortable, the water room awhile to get hot but it was a very cold weekend. Beds and pillows were super soft so a consideration if you need firm bedding. Great location!

Loved it! Charming, welcoming, comfortable, convenient, reasonably priced. Would definitely book again when in the area. Well done!

We will be back next year

Great location, lovely hotel, would recommend!

Very convenient to shops and restaurants

Beautiful hotel. Extremely hospitable staff.

Loved!

We stay here every Christmas. It never disappoints. We enjoyed our room, the Peter Kern Library, and the Oliver Royale. See you next Christmas. 😀

Beautiful older building and an amazingly good restaurant onsite. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay again the next time in Knoxville!

Overall, it was a decent stay. Walls are thin, rooms are fairly small.

We love the Oliver. It provides a first-class experience and the staff is outstanding. Location is perfect, near everything downtown. Beautiful historic hotel.

Beautiful room. Well appointed. Friendly staff. Convenient to multiple food choices, shopping and entertainment. Great place to stay in Knoxville.

The Oliver is an iconic building in our downtown. It is absolutely beautiful, very cool decor, and the staff was wonderful.

Great location and great staff.

Staff was excellent! Quiet room and an amazing location if you want to walk to Market Square and restaurants! Everything is right there!!! Will definitely stay again!

We loved our stay in this beautiful hotel. The front desk staff was super nice and helpful! We will definitely be back!

Absolutely best hotel ever! Adorable - great location - wonderful staff! Cutest rooms and so comfortable!

Unbelievable hotel with the best and friendliest employees.

Very nice and clean. The best part was the staff. Front desk staff were very nice and accommodating. Room was nice and spacious.

Very nice hotel, great location
