Traveling with a large group has historically been a pain, until it wasn’t. What do we mean? Forget coordinating hotel room blocks, finding home shares with enough beds for everyone, or locating places to stay that are “close enough” to each other because there’s a new type of hotel in town, and it’s made just for groups. Bode is a new hotel experience where groups stay together and the details of traveling en masse have already been thought through by the team. We’re talking multi-bedrooms suites, stunning chef’s kitchens, and onsite group activities aplenty.
It’s all going down in Chattanooga (and Nashville, more on that here) so put on your best walking boots and come along as we explore why Bode is your go-to for your next getaway with friends, team retreat, or family vacation.

Forget the age-old question of “what floor are you on?” At Bode, everyone stays together and everyone gets their own room. Choose from one, two, or three-bedroom suites decked out in modern-urban digs that feel distinctly Chattanooga. Each suite is completed with a cozy living room, fully equipped chef’s kitchen, and fun extras like a ping pong table or group games. Retreat to your peaceful and bright room just steps away when you need some quiet time.
Throw it back to The Suite Life With Zack and Cody and plan a suite party like no other. The fully equipped chef’s kitchen allows you to whip up a dinner with your travel buddies that y’all are sure to remember. Grab some provisions from the onsite market and get to cooking. On a team retreat? Plan an in-suite happy hour before hitting the Chattanooga nightlife scene. On a fall getaway with your fam? Cook to please the masses with a chili and cornbread night. On your bestie’s bachelorette? Set up a charcuterie and wine night with the girls.
After a day of exploring the nearby natural surrounds, hitting up the historical sites of the city, or even after a night on the town, slow things down with an in-suite movie night with your crew. Each suite’s living room has a Smart TV outfitted with Netflix (and you know wifi is always free at Bode), so you can queue up your kid’s favorite princess movie, continue your reality show binge with the girls, or try a not-too-scary movie with your team.
Enjoy concierge-like services during your stay that includes the room service you actually want, like drinks and light bites in-suite to welcome your group on their first night, or baked goods from The Market to start your days strong (and sweet). Planning an aforementioned suite dinner? Call on the Bode team to help take care of the details like locally sourced beers, wines, or accoutrements.
