Downtown Knoxville’s Crowne Plaza just changed hands for over $30 million, and the new owner is actually based right here in Knoxville. This is the same group that snapped up the Courtyard by Marriott last year, so it looks like local investment in our city’s hotels is heating up. With 197 rooms, a restaurant, lounge, and big fitness center, the Crowne Plaza is a big piece of downtown life. What do you think this shift in ownership could mean for the hotel and the community? #Business #Knoxville #LocalBusiness
