Enjoy East Tennessee Hospitality at The Oliver Hotel
In the heart of the city, just steps away from the hustle and bustle of Market Square, downtown Knoxville is home to the historic The Oliver Hotel. Originally built in 1876, this one time Peter Kern Bakery has been transformed into a boutique hotel experience featuring modern amenities and contemporary elegance with all the southern charm.
Our flagship Oliver Hospitality location was built with the client experience in mind. From accommodations, to unique dining experiences, and intimate, one-of-a-kind events, our corner of Market Square delivers long-lasting memories all within our square footage.

Oliver Royale
Open for dinner nightly and brunch Fridays through Sundays, Oliver Royale draws a lively local crowd. Headed by Executive Chef, Darin Hoagland, who sources seasonal ingredients for his new menus from local purveyors and farmers, you are going to want to put this dining experience on your to-do list. Oliver Royale offers an extensive drink menu and a creative cocktail list featuring infused whiskeys, barrel-aged bourbons, and other spirited influences.
Peter Kern Library
Hidden near The Oliver Hotel lobby is Knoxville’s one and only speakeasy, The Peter Kern Library. Once a well-kept secret, the bar is now a beloved institution and was named “best bar” by Playboy. The dark wood, fireplace, rows of books, and cocktails named after literary characters create a warm and cozy atmosphere for spirit enthusiasts any day of the week. Want to learn what the secret passcode is for entry? Be sure to follow Peter Kern Library on Instagram!
Tupelo Honey Cafe
Tupelo Honey is an ode to southern food and traditions rooted in the Carolina Mountains. With access from the hotel, guests enjoy modern southern cooking with local ingredients in an elevated and comfortable atmosphere. Open for brunch, lunch, or dinner with comfort food and a cocktail.
