CULTURE
The Historic Gatlinburg Inn has been designated a Tennessee Music Pathways destination for its role in Tennessee’s music history.
The legendary Tennessee state song, Rocky Top, was written here by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant in 1967 in Room 388, a room we now call the Rocky Top Room (which is available for reservations).
The Historic Gatlinburg Inn is a songwriting mecca that is still visited by some of the top songwriters to this day for inspiration.
BREAKFAST
Here at the Historic Gatlinburg Inn, we take great pride in treating our guests to a true taste of Southern hospitality, which starts with a fine, big breakfast in the morning. We think we have the best breakfast in Gatlinburg – and we’re serious about it!
You can treat yourself to made-from-scratch biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, sausage and more. Penn’s country ham is served on Sundays. Or if you just want something quick like a bowl of cereal or a muffin, we’ve got that too. Breakfast is served ’til 10:00AM and is free for our guests.
