Rooftop pool and Heirloom Rooftop — what to expect

The rooftop penthouse has a seasonal saltwater infinity pool with skyline views, sun loungers and pool towels. Official pool hours are listed as sunrise to sunset on some pages, but third‑party listings vary; weather and season can affect access.

Heirloom Rooftop is the hotel’s rooftop lounge and poolside bar serving Southern small plates and craft cocktails; daytime access is typically limited to hotel guests and the rooftop opens more widely in the evening. Note that some sources list the pool depth at around 3 feet — it’s shallow, better for lounging than serious swimming.

Dining and bars for couples

Holston House has three on‑site outlets: TENN (the signature restaurant), Bar TENN (a speakeasy‑style bar near the lobby) and Heirloom Rooftop. TENN serves regionally inspired American/Southern dishes and offers brunch and dinner service; Bar TENN focuses on craft cocktails and Tennessee whiskey.

For a honeymoon night out: a pre‑dinner drink at Bar TENN, dinner at TENN (brunch is available daily), then head up to Heirloom Rooftop for skyline cocktails if it’s open. Check current hours with the hotel; published hours differ slightly across sources.
