Aside from its business-friendly features, Embassy Suites Gatlinburg is making waves with its water attractions, including an indoor and an outdoor water park complete with lazy rivers and hot tubs set to open on April 15, as per Knox News. After taking a dip, guests can indulge in Appalachian cuisine at the resort’s signature restaurant, the Roaring Fork, or enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages at the Evening Reception.
Additionally, the sprawling resort aims to connect guests to the area's natural wonders with easy access to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, "Our resort will connect guests to the spirit of adventure," Logan Coykendall, president and CEO, of Hospitality Solutions told KRON4.
