About The Dwell Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels
The Dwell Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels, is a restored 16-room property in downtown Chattanooga where every room is a named suite (The Bee, The Flamingo, The Pink Lady, The Tiki and more), each sleeping two guests.
Weddings here run on a full-buyout basis: exclusive use is required and your group takes all 16 suites, giving you the whole hotel and its meeting and banquet space for the celebration.
The urban setting sits around 15 minutes from Chattanooga Airport (CHA), and we estimate buyout pricing in the range of USD 6,000 to 15,000 depending on dates and inclusions.
The hotel runs its own celebrations programme, with details at thedwellhotel.com/celebrate.
