Located in Downtown Chattanooga on the trolley line, this Chattanooga landmark hotel was acquired by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, and recently reopened as a Sheraton property, after an extensive $10 million renovation. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Read House is known for its Georgian architectural style and deeply Southern elegance. The quarter-sawed English walnut paneling, old-fashioned drop mailboxes and elevator dials, and terrazzo-poured marble floors give the lobby the feel of a museum or library. The hotel is located across the street from a downtown shuttle stop, where a free shuttle carries guests from the Tennessee Aquarium to the Chattanooga Choo-Choo and other attractions.

All rooms are elegantly appointed and designed to meet your every need with the utmost discretion and taste. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available in all common areas; room service and a self-serve business center are available 24 hours. A brand new indoor pool with cascading waterfall can be found alongside the enclosed courtyard and terrace. A state-of-the-art workout facility and spa help are new additions, as well. The hotel includes Porter's Steakhouse, which provides guests with 24-hour in-room dining upon request. There is also a Starbuck's located off the lobby.
