The Waymark Hotel, part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton and managed by Concord Hospitality is now open in the heart of downtown Chattanooga. The property, owned by HKS Holdings and housed within the historic 1927 Chattanooga Savings Bank & Trust Company building, has undergone an extensive transformation, breathing new life into a historic downtown landmark situated in Chattanooga’s central city center district.
The renovation preserves much of the building’s original architecture, from its grand arched windows to its detailed masonry and marble accents, while introducing a modern aesthetic that feels both elevated and inviting. Each of the 148 uniquely designed guest rooms tell their own story, featuring curated furnishings, custom artwork, and layouts that reflect the individuality and character of the city itself. This gives guests a personalized experience rooted in Chattanooga’s charm.
The hospitality experience is anchored by Iris Rooftop Bar, and The Vault, a speakeasy tucked inside the building’s original bank vault. Together, they offer a dynamic range of guest experiences from the cozy, underground lounge, to cocktails, tapas, and vibrant nightlife with sweeping views of Downtown Chattanooga.
The restoration combines modern craftsmanship with historic preservation expertise. Important structural elements were restored while additional amenities including a market café, unique meeting spaces and a modern fitness center were thoughtfully integrated into the building’s existing framework.
The building has been vacant for nearly two decades and this renovation marks a new beginning for one of downtown Chattanooga’s most recognizable structures. What was once an empty reminder of the past has been thoughtfully transformed into a space that celebrates history while embracing modern hospitality.
The Waymark aims to become a cornerstone of downtown Chattanooga’s continued growth, a place where the city’s evolving story can be experienced, celebrated, and shared for generations to come.
