The Waymark Chattanooga, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is an upscale wedding venue in the heart of downtown Chattanooga, TN. Housed in the historic 1927 Chattanooga Savings Bank and Trust Company building, our hotel blends outdoor-inspired style with timeless refinement to create a memorable setting for your celebration.
Couples and their guests are steps away from Chattanooga’s top attractions and local dining favorites. The Tennessee Aquarium, the Hunter Museum of American Art, and the Walnut Street Bridge are all just a short drive away.
The Iris rooftop, located on the 11th floor, offers sweeping city views and stands as Chattanooga’s tallest rooftop bar. It provides an unforgettable atmosphere for weddings and events of up to 175 guests. For a more intimate gathering, the original bank vault has been transformed into the Vault Speakeasy. Enter through the iconic vault door and enjoy a cozy, private space that features elevated service and expertly crafted cocktails. This lounge accommodates up to 40 guests. The hotel also offers 2,000 square feet of modern indoor event space for ceremonies, receptions, and pre-wedding events.
Your wedding weekend is made easy with on-site accommodations for you and your guests. Our comfortable rooms give everyone a place to unwind between celebrations, and we offer room blocks with exclusive discounted rates. Our team also partners with local venues to support destination weddings and ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.

What an amazing hotel. A perfect stay. The staff were the real stars. From the moment I walked in the door, Ethan was alarmingly eager to help carry my bag and suggest local amenities he is a budding concierge. Our meal high atop the hotel at...
Iris their rooftop bar was delightful, the menu was perfect and Madi and Elllatt behind the bar answered every question and their service was flawless. I’d move out of my home and start a new life here if not for the centuries of ancestors buried on the property.

We were there for opening weekend. Loved the fact that it’s dog friendly and we could take our boy with us. The rooms and bathroom, immaculate !!! Comfy beds and full tv access. The bathrooms, modern and the water pressure and hotness of the sh...
ower fantastic. Within walking distance to a lot of downtown activities and things to do. The valet staff became like friends, always looking out, asking what we were doing for the day and if we wanted suggestions. But the best, the roof top Irish bar. The food came in a great amount of time, and was phenomenal, some of the best sliders I have ever had, and the perk, the views overlooking downtown Chattanooga, which are known to be the best in the city. With roof top fire pits and server service. It honestly was a magical experience to be part of a Chattanooga opening and coming back to life. And one last thing. The basement speakeasy that was the old bank vault, so meticulously thought out, absolutely stunning and so sophisticated and moody. The whole trip was amazing. We will be back hopefully every year. I can’t give it more than a 10/10 it was an amazing stay, def didn’t wanna come home. Do not second guess yourself, it’s seriously FAB !!! Thanks so much guys Luke, Jeff and Jax 🐾

Absolutely obsessed with The Waymark…. this hotel is truly something special. Set inside a stunning 1927 Chattanooga bank building😍. The original marble and brass details are everywhere, giving the space a level of character and luxury you jus...
t don’t find anymore.
The rooms blend historic charm with modern touches beautifully, so you get all the character of the 1927 building without sacrificing comfort. Every detail feels intentional, from the layout to the lighting, making it easy to unwind after a long day!!
And then there’s Iris Rooftop, the highest rooftop bar in downtown Chattanooga, with views that are unreal and vibes that feel out of a big-city moment. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a hidden speakeasy tucked inside the original bank vault in the basement (opening next week!), which is hands-down one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen in a hotel.
From the moment you arrive, the experience is flawless. Valet, front desk, everyone in between, warm, welcoming, genuinely helpful, and clearly proud of this place.
100000/10 experience. This will be my go-to stay every single time I’m in Chattanooga. The Waymark isn’t just a hotel, it’s luxury with direction.

I had an incredible stay at The Waymark Chattanooga. The building itself immediately stands out, and knowing it was formerly a bank makes it even more special. The renovation was done beautifully, keeping many of the original details while blen...
ding them with a modern, thoughtful design that feels authentic and full of character.
The room was comfortable, quiet, and well maintained, making it easy to actually relax and enjoy the stay. The rooftop bar was everything!!! The views were incredible and easily one of the highlights of the experience.
You can tell there’s real pride in this property and attention to detail throughout. The Waymark feels intentional, unique, and memorable. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Chattanooga.

I had dinner at Iris on Saturday night (2/7) and was blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in the hotel until I left, everything and everyone was five stars.
Iris is stunning. The vibe was just what I wanted to relax and enjo...
y an evening out. The service was impeccable, and the food incredible. As a non-drinker the Blood Orange spritzer was perfect. It was elevated to meet the taste of any of the alcoholic drinks.
I am looking forward to summer evenings on the patio and enjoying another Blood Orange spritzer.
When you are in Chattanooga, or if you live here, make it a point visit Iris and enjoy a night out with incredible reviews.
