EV Charging Hotels in Knoxville, TN

Resting along the Tennessee River in eastern Tennessee is the bustling southern city of Knoxville. Being the third-largest city in Tennessee, Knoxville offers a wealth of exciting attractions, dining options, museums, theaters, parks, and shopping while still maintaining a small-town feel. While exploring the area from your hotel with EV charging stations in Knoxville, head downtown and explore the area and its many offerings, like the Market Square district with its 19th-century buildings, shops, and restaurants or tour The Museum of East Tennessee History and enjoy its interactive exhibits, regional art, textiles, and Civil War artifacts. And because many of these landmarks and attractions are located within close proximity, Knoxville is a walkable city, perfect for touring the town by foot any time of year.

A food lover’s paradise, Knoxville is known for a variety of savory southern dishes and global cuisines sprinkled across town, including Italian, Japanese, Syrian, and many more. Just outside your hotel with EV charging, expect to see some classic southern fare populating menus across town, like fried chicken, barbecue, pulled pork, sweetly slathered ribs, fried green tomatoes, okra, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese. The Maker City also emphasizes locality when it comes to dining, both in terms of ingredients and locally-owned restaurants.

For a day amongst the flora and fauna, leave the buzzing streets and head for the World's Fair Park, a public park in downtown Knoxville that rests on the former fairgrounds of the 1982 World's Fair hosted in Knoxville. From here, you’ll be able to enjoy a green space while taking in views of the city, the Tennessee Amphitheater, and the iconic Sunsphere. This incredible sculptural building was designed for the World’s Fair and is a 266-foot high hexagonal steel truss structure, topped with a 75-foot gold-colored glass sphere. For a striking view of the city, make your way up to the top of the Sunsphere to its observation deck for a beautiful sunset or see the glimmering city nights at night.

Leaving your hotel with electric car charging stations, get into nature with a fun visit to the Ijams Nature Center, a stunning nature preserve in Knox County, Tennessee. Spend the day exploring the 318 acres of wetlands, forests, meadows, rock formations, and its 10 miles of well-maintained trails. Or enjoy a wealth of other outdoor activities, including playing at Jo's Grove, paddling at Mead's Quarry Lake, or getting a nice workout in at the Ijams Primal Playground. Ijams is open every day from 8 am to dusk, and with bike and canoe rentals, and the Ijams Nature Center, you’ll have a ton of options for how to spend the afternoon from these grounds.
