If you are looking for a real first class hotel, you need to look no further. Read House is the place to go. First class starting with the valet parking, front desk, quality of the room, and the first class staff you run into on a daily basis. We definitely will be back.

This place is so fancy I loved my stay. Didn’t have time for the pool but I saw it and it looks wonderful. The beds were comfortable and I enjoyed the provided coffee. The read house is convenient to everything in downtown Chattanooga and not far from Rock city or Ruby falls. Love the river area too.
