Have you made plans for a holiday-themed getaway for 2024? If not, and you're looking to fill a gap, I can't think of a better thing to do than stay in a "Christmas hotel" this season.

Of course, every hotel from sea to shining sea will be festooned with more holiday decor than you could possibly imagine between now and the end of the year. But an actual CHRISTMAS-themed hotel? That's what you want.

Now, is it a distinct possibility that such an establishment would be all booked up by now? It certainly is, but that doesn't mean you can't treat it like an attraction when you're visiting Pigeon Forge. I mean, it's called The Inn at Christmas Place. If I was staying at a nearby RAMADA, I'd carve out time for a place like that.

@kaelynyoung21 This was definitely a beautiful experience. If you have never been and love Christmas as much as we do it is a must!! 🎄🎅🏼 #christmasvacation #christmasdestination #pigeonforgetennessee #hotelreview #christmaslover #christmasplace #gatlinburgtennessee #thechristmasplacepigeonforge #travelwithme #christmasdecor #christmaslights #christmastreedecorating #toddlersoftiktok #travelingwithbabies #santa #smokymountains ♬ Christmas Music Background - HitsLab

The young-ish inn opened to the public in the summer of 2007 and has never looked back. Where's the time? Eager future guests couldn't wait to book rooms, something that surprised staff members who weren't sure a Christmas inn would resonate in the heat of the summer.

In addition to double queen and king rooms, The Inn at Christmas Place also has a two-room "Christmas suite" and a "Santa suite" filled to the brim with decorations reflecting the room's namesake.

 

The inn also features singing Santa concerts and a magnificent glockenspiel in the lobby.

Whether you're staying a night or two or just visiting, The Inn at Christmas Place looks and feels like an unbeatable addition to your Smoky Mountains Christmas itinerary.
