Overview

The Sewanee Inn offers southern hospitality on the grounds of the University of the South with a slice of Gothic charm. A perfect place to relax, yet sophisticated as well, the 43-room hotel is a preferred destination of Sewanee alumni and academics. It’s a favorite place to stay because of the convenient location relative to the campus, elite 9-hole golf course, and many nature trails. There’s so much to do and enjoy at The Sewanee Inn.

Guests will appreciate the rooms and suites that offer air conditioning, family rooms in suites, and non-smoking rooms. The proximity to the campus with views of the golf course and beautiful sweeping vistas of the rolling Tennessee mountain-top plateau’s will leave visitors in awe of where they are staying.

When guests are hungry they can indulge in Southern comfort, not the whiskey, but the comfort food at eighteen58 and Shakerag, which will surely suffice. Guests will surely enjoy a made from scratch cocktail at Shakerag with friends or colleagues. Founder’s Hall is a great spot to grab Sunday brunch as well. If guests can’t find something that fits their fancy at Sewanee Inn, a variety of tasty markets, taverns and coffee house’s sit within 5 miles of the hotel.

The Sewanee Inn offers over 8,000 square feet of flexible event space that is ideal for corporate events, weddings, and family reunions. Guests will have plenty to do with Sewanee’s 9-hole golf course, Appalachian hiking trails, complimentary bikes, fitness center, and wonderful cocktails.
