Located along State Street, one block east of Gay Street, this Courtyard by Marriott shares a building with the Residence Inn Knoxville Downtown. Short-term visitors to Knoxville may find the Courtyard more appropriate for their stay than the Residence Inn.
The Downtown Knoxville Edition of Courtyard by Marriott
Guests staying in any of the 152 rooms at the hotel get the Courtyard experience we know and love in a downtown setting. Rooms have mini-refrigerators, everybody gets free access to Wi-Fi, and the fitness center is open 24 hours a day. Guest rooms are furnished with either two Queen beds or a King bed and a sofa bed.
The Perfect Location For Many Knoxville Performances
The Courtyard (and the adjacent Residence Inn) are the hotels closest to the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum. The coliseum is a 6,500 seat arena that is the home of the Knoxville Ice Bears minor league hockey team. The auditorium can hold up to 2,500 and hosts performances by the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and touring musicians (lots of country music happens here).
The hotel is even closer to the Tennessee Theatre and Bijou Theatre. The Tennessee Theatre is a big, beautifully restored hall that hosts events ranging from the free monthly Mighty Music Monday concerts to extended visits from top touring Broadway shows. The Bijou schedules performances by musicians from a wide range of genres.
