Staying at the Carnegie Hotel in Johnson City Tennessee

Sharing is caring!

When you walk into the lobby of East Tennessee’s premier AAA Four-Diamond Carnegie Hotel & Spa you immediately feel like you have stepped back into a century old hotel.  This boutique replica hotel feels like it’s from an era gone by but actually it was only built about twenty years ago.  Staying at the Carnegie Hotel in Johnson City Tennessee was a pure pleasure.  I had the opportunity of attending a travel conference recently but was also a guest of Johnson City Visitor Bureau for a tour of the local area.  This review is all my own opinions. #hosted

 

From the well-stocked bar, dining area by the fireplace, and the spa services offered to guests, this is one hotel worth booking when you’re visiting Johnson City for your next vacation.

 

The Historic Look and Feel

The original hotel by the same name opened in 1891 but was destroyed by fire in 1910.  You find the same traditional décor and feeling of history from the moment you enter the lobby through the revolving doors, but with all the modern and up to date amenities you expect in a AAA Four Star Hotel.

There are so many touches which immediately makes you think you are in a 100-year-old historic hotel.

• The elevator has arms showing the floor numbers instead of digital numbers.
• The front doors and revolving doors are wood.
• You find leather, brocade, and tapestry fabrics on the furniture.
• Dark wood gives that rich feeling of an old mansion
• A library can be found to sneak away for a few quite moments or to grab a book

Suppose you’re planning to host a business meeting or something else, you can make it happen without the need of going off the hotel property.

Visiting Johnson City

The Carnegie Hotel is just one reason to visit JOHNSON CITY. 

Setting on the edge of East Tennessee State University and the Appalachian Mountains, it’s a great spot to stay while exploring the area.  You may be surprised to learn that Johnson City is the 8^th largest city in Tennessee.  Johnson City is truly a hidden gem to be discovered by many more.

While in Johnson City, you will find six breweries in a half-mile stretch of downtown, numerous local businesses, and so many great locally owned restaurants, you need a long stay to try them all. 

There are two parks for just enjoying a walk, listening to music on Friday nights, or checking out a monument with the history of Johnson City.  I can’t wait to go back to check out their upcoming Candy Land Christmas. 

Since Johnson City is within a few hours drive of many locations, consider The Carnegie Hotel & Spa, and Johnson City for your next vacation or long weekend, it’s the perfect spot.  A girl’s weekend might enjoy the Spa, a romantic weekend can visit the breweries, Wellingtons, then end with a couples massage at the spa.    The outdoor enthusiasts is within an hour of hiking and white water rafting.  Or book in advance for the NASCAR races in Bristol.

Want to know more about JOHNSON CITY?  I’ll be giving you more ideas on why to visit to include many of the breweries, great local restaurants, other ideas for visiting the Tri-Cities, and enjoying the great outdoors.  Full details of the Christmas celebrations in the area will be coming soon too so you can make plans.
