You'll be reserving the CHATT ROOM at The Crash Pad, the world's first LEED Platinum hostel.
This private room has two queen beds and two twin beds, both bunk bed style.
Shared bathrooms and showers are in the hallway just outside the door.

The space
After deciding the 100 year old house on site was beyond repair, we demolished it, but diverted 99% of its materials from going to the landfill. The old bricks went into the construction of our pavilion, and we reclaimed multiple pallets of heart pine that our woodworker incorporated into the hostel's furniture and sleeping spaces. All unusable materials went in as filler in the landscape construction.

The 26 pre-cast concrete slabs that make up the exterior of The Crash Pad provide a high level of thermal efficiency and only required 3 days of install time. We used an interior scheme called "Embodied Energy." Rather than using new or decorative materials or finishes, we relied on things that were already here: a concrete floor, wood beams and joists, re-used materials, and local craftsmen. We wanted an industrial, durable, and vernacular architecture; there’s also the side benefit that there is no off-gassing of harmful VOCs in reused materials. We want our interior air to be as clean and pure as the air outside.

The greenroof on top of The Crash Pad helps to insulate the entire building and well never need replacing. It also satisfies 95% of our stormwater runoff requirements.

We use gas-powered tankless water heaters, low-flow sinks, showers, and toilets, LED lighting, energy-efficient washers and dryers, and re-useable cloth hand towels instead of paper towels.

Guest access
We offer limited free parking in the gravel parking lot on 14th street behind The Crash Pad.

Guests will receive 24/7 access to the hostel via a key fob received upon check-in. This key fob will also provide access to your floor and private room.

Guests are welcome to hang out in the cabana whenever they like. We have free WiFi, one iMac for guest use, a full kitchen full of amenities to cook with, a full fridge, and shelves for storage.

Neighbourhood highlights

The Southside of Chattanooga was once the city's urban center of industry. Over time, it became known for its abandoned warehouses and old buildings. In the last decade, the Southside has been revitalized with art, culture, cuisine, and entertainment and has come to define the city. With the 50+ businesses that pepper the neighborhood as proof, this once-desolate area is experiencing a second life.
