The Carnegie Hotel is a historic hidden gem, offering a charming and classic atmosphere that feels like a step back in time. The hotel is quiet, clean, and well-maintained, with very comfortable and lovely rooms. Accommodations are large and spacious, some furnished with luxury and subtle hints of the building's past. Guests describe the beds as amazing and the rooms as having a beautiful smell. The staff receives consistent praise, noted as incredibly nice, helpful, and providing extraordinary customer service. The hotel features a cool bar with warm leather and great cocktails, a perfect pool for a hot day, and very good food. Parking is easy in the garage with quick elevator access. While not very modern and with no great views, the well-kept, charming property with its beautiful windows and classic feel earns high recommendations. Many guests state they will only stay here when in Johnson City.
Just used the bar. No cocktail onions for a Gibson. Great barstaff.

A charming and beautiful historic hotel across from East Tennessee State University. The front desk staff were so warm and helpful. Our room was spacious, clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. We enjoyed two meals at Wellington’s, the charming hotel restaurant. The outdoor pool was nice. Highly recommend!
