Here’s a (not so) hot take: Tennessee is the best state for group getaways. Why? From the bachelorette party, birthday destination, and girls’ trip mecca that is Nashville to the outdoorsy and adventurous spirit of Chattanooga, there is quite literally something for every type of traveling group from near and far alike. Whether you’re wrangling a rowdy reunion for twenty or a quiet family getaway to connect with nature, you need a stay that is equal parts convenient, stylish, and fun. Bode Hotels in both Nashville and Chattanooga are specifically made for groups with multi-bedroom suites, communal living areas, and chef’s kitchens in each accommodation. Beyond the in-room – or, in-suite – amenities, the rest of each hotel is set up to facilitate new friendships while deepening existing ones. Stay tuned as we explore all of the group getaway possibilities at Bode Nashville and Chattanooga.
You and your crew will live the suite life at Bode. Gone are the days of fighting over the “good room” or splitting up your besties because a group stay at Bode starts with your suite: choose from two, three, or four bedroom suites accommodating anywhere from four to fourteen people. You read that right, your entire friend group or family can fit in one suite (or not, the choice is yours). Each hotel is designed around its city and outfitted with distinct Nashville or Chattanooga touches like reclaimed wood or industrial finishes.
Trade in the stuffy concierge and overpriced room snacks for perks you actually want, like craft beers and light bites, or baked goods from their onsite market to start your days strong (and sweet). The “self service” perks are pretty on point too, like free wifi and ready-to-chill Netflix capabilities. Early morning housekeeping alarms are a thing of the past here, simply phone it in when you need it. But if you are up at the crack of dawn, brew yourself (and your suitemates) some locally-sourced coffee.
Darn it! Your suitcase was totally overweight but you still managed to forget your favorite travel snacks and toothbrush. Not to fear, my dear. Both Bode Chattanooga andBode Nashvile have an onsite Café & Market. Yup, your day-to-night snacking and drinking situation is totally sorted. By morning grab a local coffee, pastry to-go, or a light breakfast. By evening, choose from goodies for in-room pregrames and late-night snacking (from local artisans, of course) to keep the good times going. You can even stock up stock up on cool local products and travel essentials.
Bode Nashville has a multiple stunning event spaces. For the perfect outdoor event, rent the covered porch with built in lounge seating, ping pong, a stellar sound system and even projector for screenings or a movie perhaps?! Your guests will also go gaga for the backyard venue twith it's cozy firepit, picnic benches, and fun cornhole games. Wanna have live music? Check out the courtyard venue that features a stage, built-in seating, cafe tables, a firepit, and a vintage truck with custom dining table for the ultimate tailgating or dinner party. Which way will you sway?
