When Elvis checked out of the Heartbreak Hotel, he should have headed east to the Smokies, where he would have had no problems (and no broken heart) finding the perfect hotel in which to stay during his scenic mountain vacation.

Whether your destination is Sevierville, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, there are choices galore when it comes to finding the hotel or motel to suit your travel plans. For example, Pigeon Forge hotels put you in the heart of much of the action in terms of theaters and attractions, Sevierville hotels help keep you close to some of the area's best shopping, and hotels in Gatlinburg are just minutes from craft studios and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

And the properties themselves also cover a wide territory. Some travelers enjoy the charms of some of the established mom-and-pop motels that have been around for decades, in many cases in very strategic locations. Others prefer the modern-day amenities and often upscale touches provided by some the big-name franchises.

So whether you plan to spend a lot of time in your room or just use it as a place to sleep, the hotels of the Smokies have you covered.
