Instructions for reserving your special room rate:

The basic room type is two queen beds. The link will work until 30 days prior to the first arrival date. That cut-off mark is the day that the unreserved rooms of the block will drop from the group’s inventory. After the cut-off date, attendees would need to contact the hotel directly to make a reservation into the block.

Clicking on the following link will take you to the Crowne Plaza Knoxville website. The Group rate block is from July 22nd to July 25th. Once you select your dates, the Group Code will automatically fill. If the Group Code doesn’t populate, use LIT.

Note: If you try the booking link and your stay is earlier than July 22nd or after July 25th, please contact the hotel to make your reservation. Our reservation manager, Jamie Julius, is available Monday through Friday, 830 a.m. to 430 p.m., at 865-522-2600.

If you desire other room types, please contact the hotel for a room with one queen bed and a sofa-sleeper (Add $10) or a room with one king bed (Add $15). The overage is not reimbursable; only $113 plus taxes is reimbursable.
