Luxury Hotels Knoxville

Knoxville, nicknamed 'The Marble City' and founded in 1786, has grown into one of the largest cities in the state of Tennessee. With a population of almost 185,000, only Nashville and Memphis are larger. The city is also the county seat of Knox County. The nickname of Marble City refers to the pink marble quarries, which were active in the city during the 1900s. The National Gallery of Art in Washington has been constructed with the marble from Knoxville. The city was also known as the 'Underwear Capital of the World' due to the textile and clothing mills, which operated in the city in earlier times. The luxury hotels Knoxville offers have modern amenities and comfortable surroundings and are an obvious choice for accommodation in the area.

The economy of the city is to a large degree dependent on the campus of the University of Tennessee, the National Transportation Research Center, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and facilities of the Department of Energy. It is an ideal operating location for many distribution and warehousing companies because of the two nearby interstate highways, Interstate 40 and Interstate 75. Historic factories and warehouses are found in the "Old City". Many luxury hotels Knoxville provides are situated in close proximity to the Convention Center where delegates attend conventions. The city was named a Top 10 metropolitan hotspot and amongst the Top 5 for careers and business. Major companies in the city include AC Entertainment, which are co-producers of the Bonnaroo Music Festival and Bush Brothers and Company.

Many festivals take place in the city throughout the year, in fact too many to mention them all. The Dogwood Arts Festival is a 17-day festival in April with live music, food and craft stalls and art shows. April also hosts the Italian culture and opera festival, the Rossini Festival. Kuumba celebrates African American heritage and during Autumn on the Square, local and national artists perform in an outdoor concert series. Booms Day has a large firework display every year on Labor Day. Speak to the concierge at the luxury hotels Knoxville presents, who will be only too delighted to assist the you with dates and times of all the festivals.

On Knoxville's "100 Block", the visitor will notice The Sterchi Lofts building, previously the Sterchi Brothers Furniture store, one of the most prominent on the block. The Knoxville Museum is also worth a visit.
