Delta Queen – Fit for a King
Thanksgiving found my husband and me looking for an alternative dinner venue. We decided to visit the Delta Queen, Chattanooga’s latest and most unique floating hotel.
The buffet dinner was outstanding, wait staff most attentive, and live music a delight.
How dreary the weather had become, in direct contrast to how warm and inviting the boat was. We arrived a little early for our seating, affording us time to explore the beautiful accommodations and speak with the guests who were staying overnight.The Legendary Delta Queen, the last fully operational, overnight passenger steamboat in the country, is the newest landmark Chattanooga hotel. This grand lady had logged over two million miles, carried over half a million passengers and is the only boat to be inducted into the National Marine Hall of Fame while still in service. She has entertained Presidents, foreign dignitaries and a multitude of celebrities.
The new Chattanooga accommodations are right in the middle of the vibrant North Shore scene at Coolidge Park Landing. A quick water taxi ride to the Southside and an ideal base of operations for your exploration of Chattanooga attractions.
In addition to being one of the most unique Chattanooga hotels, the Delta Queen features live music, theatrical performances and romantic dining and drinks overlooking the Tennessee River. Group tours will be available, allowing visitors to learn first-hand about steam technology and the colorful history of a legendary paddleboat.
So, if you’re looking for something extraordinary among the offerings of Chattanooga hotels, right in the middle of the action, choose the Delta Queen for an unforgettable stay in the Scenic City.
I would encourage those of you who visit our city or live here and want a pleasant experience, to get down to the Delta Queen. You’ll be glad you did.
