Chattanooga Girls Trip: 8 Unforgettable Things to Do This Weekend
A Chattanooga girls trip is easy to fall in love with. This is a city built for wandering boutiques by day and toasting good friends by night, all against a backdrop of mountains and river views. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, a bachelorette, or just carving out a well-earned weekend with your people, here’s how to make the most of it.
1. Home Base: Space for Everyone to Spread Out
The right home base makes or breaks a Chattanooga girls trip, and a hotel room just doesn’t cut it when you want a proper girls’-weekend experience. Our four-story townhome gives your whole group room to breathe: everyone gets their own space to get ready, unwind, or sneak off for a quiet moment, while the shared living areas and rooftop patio keep the group together when you want to be. Come back from a day of shopping and cocktails to a well-stocked kitchen for a quick bite, then head up to the rooftop fire pit to close out the night under the stars.
2. Sip Your Way Through Downtown
No Chattanooga girls trip is complete without a proper cocktail crawl. Start at 50/50 Wine + Martini Bar inside the Chattanooga Choo Choo complex for an elegant pour, then make your way to Stratus Rooftop at Caption by Hyatt, right in the Southside, for craft cocktails and skyline views best enjoyed around sunset. For a moodier stop, Whiskey Thief at The Edwin Hotel serves elevated small plates alongside artful cocktails featuring Tennessee’s own spirit.
3. Boutique Shopping, Two Ways
Split your shopping between two very different vibes. Warehouse Row in the Southside is polished and walkable, with Anthropologie and lululemon alongside local finds — start with coffee, browse, then grab lunch nearby. Then cross the Walnut Street Bridge to Frazier Avenue on the Northshore, where independent boutiques like Belle Rive Boutique and Disco Clothier pack in far more personality per block, offering women’s clothing, jewelry, and accessories from local and contemporary designers.
4. Treat Yourselves to a Spa Day (Without Leaving the Townhome)
Here’s where a Chattanooga girls trip gets really relaxing: skip the spa waiting room altogether. Add on an in-home massage through our guest portal, and a licensed local therapist comes right to you — no reservations, no rushing to get ready, just pure recharge time between the day’s adventures. It’s one of our favorite ways to turn a weekend away into a genuine retreat.
5. Chase the Best Photo Spots
Every Chattanooga girls trip needs its share of photo stops. The Walnut Street Bridge at golden hour is a classic, and the colorful Southside murals near Main Street make for effortless group shots. Don’t skip the view from our own rooftop patio, either. It’s a favorite backdrop for our guests’ group photos before a night out.
6. Long, Leisurely Meals Together
Good food is the heartbeat of any girls trip, and the Southside delivers. For a proper sit-down dinner, book a table at Alleia or Stir; for something more casual, Southside Pizza is always a hit. If you want the full lineup, we’ve rounded up our favorites in our best restaurants in Chattanooga Southside guide.
7. Wander the Southside on Foot
One of the best parts of basing your Chattanooga girls trip in the Southside is how walkable everything is. Coffee, boutiques, galleries, and dinner are all within a few blocks of home, so you can spend less time coordinating rides and more time actually enjoying each other’s company. Our Southside Chattanooga guide covers our favorite neighborhood spots in detail.
8. Wind Down Together on the Rooftop
However you fill your days, save your evenings for the rooftop. Light the fire pit, pour whatever you picked up on your wine bar crawl, and let the conversation run long. It’s the kind of low-key, no-agenda time together that ends up being everyone’s favorite part of the trip.
