About BKD Hotels

Our Story

BKD Hotels was founded with a simple vision: to offer travelers comfortable, affordable accommodations in one of America's most beautiful destinations.

The Great Smoky Mountains have drawn visitors for generations with their breathtaking beauty, rich history, and endless opportunities for adventure. We recognized the need for quality hotels that provide a welcoming home base for families, couples, and adventurers exploring this magnificent region.

Today, our portfolio spans across the most popular destinations in the Smokies, including Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Each property is carefully maintained to ensure our guests enjoy a comfortable stay, whether they're here for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation.

What sets us apart is our commitment to genuine hospitality. Our staff are local experts who can help you discover the best hiking trails, restaurants, and attractions. We're not just providing a place to sleep - we're helping you create unforgettable memories in the Smokies.
