The Waymark Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, opened in downtown Chattanooga in early 2026 inside the Chattanooga Savings Bank & Trust Company building, completed in 1927. The bank had stood empty for nearly 20 years.
The hotel has 148 rooms, a rooftop bar, a market café and a speakeasy set in the old bank vault.

HK Architects (renovation) with Dutch East Design (interiors); original 1927 building by R.H. Hunt
At 736 Broad Street in downtown Chattanooga, the hotel fills the former home of Chattanooga Savings Bank & Trust. Iris, the rooftop bar, looks over downtown and toward Lookout Mountain, according to its listing.
The developers present the hotel as a catalyst for downtown growth, aimed at visitors and at locals who will use the bars and café.
The concept
The 1927 building was designed by R.H. Hunt. The renovation, by HK Architects with interiors by Dutch East Design, kept the arched windows, masonry and marble details and added a contemporary design throughout.
HKS Holdings owns the hotel, Concord Hospitality manages it, and it flies Hilton's Tapestry Collection flag.
There are 148 rooms, each with custom furnishings and artwork that refer to Chattanooga. The hotel also has meeting spaces and a fitness center. The renovation cost has not been disclosed by the owner.
Dining & wellness
Iris is the rooftop bar, with fire pits, cocktails and views of downtown and Lookout Mountain. The Vault is a speakeasy-style lounge built into the original bank vault, and Hilton's listing showed it as opening in February 2026, after the hotel itself. A market café completes the lineup. No chef has been named for any of the three.
