Opened in 2011, we’ve taken up shop right in the heart of Market Square in a beautiful, historic diner. We’ve preserved the original architecture starting with the recycled green glass. The ceilings, staircase, flooring and restaurant bar are all preserved as well with our Institute and luxury upscale spa. Located in the center of Knoxville, we’re surrounded by restaurants and shops, just steps from Market Square, which holds weekly events and concerts.
