Guests staying at Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort will also enjoy a range of Appalachian cuisine. The property features an elevated dining experience at the Roaring Fork, the resort's signature restaurant. Visitors can also expect other Embassy Suites dining mainstays like the beloved made-to-order breakfast, featuring options that both parents and kids can enjoy, and complimentary snacks and beverages at the daily Evening Reception. During the day, guests can enjoy drinks and light bites at Firefly Cove, the resort's expansive water park featuring both indoor and outdoor pools, a relaxing lazy river, a water slide, a creekside hot tub, outdoor fire pits, and an activity lawn with outdoor games and seating. Just inside, the Sugarlands Coffee and Cream shop offers the ideal place for gathering.

To help guests take advantage of the area's myriad outdoor opportunities, Embassy Suites by Hilton Gatlinburg Resort will feature the Guide Room, a unique amenity that allows guests to curate their adventures thanks to a partnership with local outfitter Smoky Mountain Guides.

The Guide Room will enable local travelers to explore countless off-the-beaten-path adventures, whether traversing some of the national park's hundreds of miles of hiking trails, wading creeks and rivers for fly fishing excursions, driving through rugged forests on an auto tour, or rafting down local whitewater rivers. Experts with the Guide Room also provide onsite activities for guests, including children's exploration classes in the property's three mountain streams and fly-tying happy hours for anglers. The Guide Room will also inform guests of all the local attractions they can experience while in Gatlinburg.
