“The Oliver Hotel, a downtown landmark in Knoxville, strikes me as a successful blend of historic charm and modern boutique style; the Peter Kern Library, a speakeasy hidden behind a sliding door, is a particular delight, and its design feels spot-on. The location couldn't be better, right on the square and steps away from Market Square, and I appreciate that the hotel is pet-friendly too. In my view, it's a special place with genuine warmth.”
