Centrally Located

Brand: Margaritaville


You’ll find laid-back luxury right in the heart of the city at the Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg. It’s located within easy walking distance of downtown attractions including the Anakeesta theme park, shopping and restaurants at the Village. The hotel is on the trolley line, so you can just hop aboard a trolley to get around town. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dolly-wood, and other area attractions are just a short drive away.

Rooms have a relaxed holiday decor and a private balcony with Adirondack chairs to enjoy the view of the mountains. You can relax by the pool with a namesake margarita and stop by the St. Somewhere Spa for a relaxing treatment and massage after a day’s hiking in the mountains.

Honeymooners will love Jimmy’s Hideaway, a unique bungalow located on a separate island. This suite has a private garden and patio with a firepit, a separate living room with 80-inch tv, fire pit, walk-in rain shower and jacuzzi. The rustic decor complements the cathedral ceiling with ex-posed beams and the stone fireplace for a cozy mountain cabin feel.

All that mountain air and exercise will make you hungry, and you’ll find delicious options start-ing with breakfast sandwiches from Joe Merchant‘s Coffee & Provisions, lunch at the poolside grill with a signature LandShark Lager, and dinner and drinks at the License to Chill Bar. The LandShark Bar & Grill specializes in American beach food including tacos and fresh seafood. And if you’d like to just stay in, you can choose the in-room dining service and have your meal delivered.

The lobby, the rooms, the spa, the staff. The perfection!!

When searching online for accommodation I discovered the Margaritaville Resort and booked. We have stayed at other Margaritaville Hotels before and like the chain. Upon arrival we found the hotel was...

Cool place. Bad management.

We stayed in Jimmy’s Hideaway and the place is amazing. Maintenance is poor. Cleanliness needs just a little encouragement and coaching. Generally we would love this place, but when we left an internal review listing the issues that need to be addressed, the management was dismissive to the point we...
