Quick history of "Old City". It occupies only a few linear blocks near the railroad on the northeastern corner of downtown Knoxville. It once contained the region's highest density of saloons. During the same era and for longer it was the city's wholesale food district. With flour and coffee factories which became famous. It was also the meatpacking district with a stockyard that attracted area cattlemen. Architecturally, it's Knoxville's best preserved remnant of one particular era, when the city was booming and building, especially down by the railroad.
The term "Old City" was first used to describe the area around 1980. Previous decades other colorful names included - Irish Town, Cripple Creek, The Bowery, Gunter's Flats and the Bottom. White Lily Flour and JFG Coffee are most famous industries from this area. Stories of Outlaw "Kid Curry" & Buffalo Bill have originated from the era of saloons.
In addition to being cosmopolitan, Knoxville has maintained its wilderness and created beautiful city parks. Getting out in nature is as easy as going to a festival, art gallery, or concert. For example, you can visit the Knoxville Urban Wilderness just three miles away from Downtown. This area has 1,000 acres of forest including 10 parks, four civil war sites, and over 50 miles of trails.
Downtown Knoxville is at the heart of the city’s cultural scene. There are galleries, museums, theaters, and historic landmarks throughout the neighborhood. You can go to the World’s Fair Park, which hosts events like the annual International Food Festival. The park also includes Knoxville’s iconic Sunsphere, as well as the Knoxville Museum of Art. There’s also a fun playground and a large fountain for kids to splash in. If you enjoy going to concerts or plays, you might want to visit the historic Bijou Theatre, too. Built in 1909 as an addition to Knoxville’s first hotel, the theater has recently been rediscovered and renovated. It’s now a premier place to watch concerts, Broadway plays, and other shows in Knoxville.
Prefer movies instead? Downtown Knoxville has a couple of excellent movie theaters just a block away from each other. The Tennessee Theater is the oldest, going back to 1928. It has a gorgeous interior with French-style chandeliers, Italian terrazzo flooring, and Spanish-Moorish architecture. When it was first opened, it was called “the South’s most beautiful theater,” and it’s still a classy place to watch movies and concerts. For more modern options, though, you can just walk over to Regal Cinemas. Both are surrounded by cool shops and delicious places to eat so you won’t be bored if your movie starts later. There’s also a beautiful park across the street—perfect for relaxing with friends, family, or a romantic date
Whether you are an avid sports fan, an outdoor adventurer, or both, there’s plenty to do in Knoxville. Art lovers can check out First Fridays in Downtown Knoxville where food, art, and music create the perfect night out.
Sports fans can rejoice thanks to Knoxville being a college town there are year-round sports events in Knoxville such as football, ice hockey, women’s roller derby, and more! Families can take the kids to the Knoxville Zoo or spend a Saturday exploring with Navitat Canopy Adventures—a tree-based adventure park.
Again, potential for passing train and nightlife.

Located in the heart of the old city and in the life of all the food as soon as you walk out of the door. Had an absolute blast being close to the mill and mine, brother wolf, urban cafe, Hanna’s cafe, also big mentions on food for Fin Two, good golly tamale, and so many others! Couldn’t ask for a better accommodation!
I was shocked at how expensive hotels in Knoxville were but this place was a great choice. Walking distance to lots of atteactions and restaurants. We loved the black pearl in market square. Great historical building.
This property is very comfortable!! Sofas and beds are very relaxing. Great location!!! So many restaurants and great unique shops! Positive vibe from the community! There was a run going on which was fun! Train is nearby and such a great asset for the kids! We loved seeing and hearing the train. Visually the lift is beautiful. We would stay again! It was a great experience that we will all remember! The people in the area were very friendly and helpful!!
A short drive to downtown and in the middle of old downtown. Great spot everything in old downtown is in walking distance. The room was clean and very comfortable.
We had a lovely stay here over a weekend in Knoxville. The apartment has everything you'd need, and the location can't be beat. Check in and check out were very smooth, and I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
This is an adorable place, well appointed and well maintained. The owner definitely mentioned that there are stairs however, I did not realize there are 2 flights to walk up with luggage. Very centrally located to bars, restaurants, and shops. Overall, I would highly recommend this accommodation for staying in the Old City section of Knoxville.

Such a cool loft. It had everything we needed and was very clean. Awesome restaurant and bar across the street. Love walking around Old City
Very well appointed, comfortable stay. The owner has this place in great shape and obviously takes pride in renting it. Great communication as well. Parking is a pain but overall very much worth the stay.

The property was perfect! Very accessible, super cute, comfortable. Thank you!
The loft was very cool, and my wife and I loved the layout. It was clean and comfortable. Location was great with a lot of food and things to do nearby. Would definitely consider staying here again. Only complaint is that the closest parking (next to the building) is a paid lot. There are unpaid lots walking distance, but we chose to pay to park for convenience.
This place is super cozy and the layout is so cute!! You’re right smack in the middle of anything you would want to do for entertainment and food. We will definitely be back!
This is a very cute place to stay and clean, knew there might be some trains passing through overnight, but the building was full of people partying and yelling all night. People should be aware of this when staying here on the weekend. We did request a slightly delayed checkout which they were able to do that day which was very nice.
