"I booked a room at the Rivet House because my wife and I were attending a concert in Athens... The hotel is gorgeous and historic. The building is quaint and beautiful, speaking to the history of the site... The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable. The amenities are first-rate."

DID YOU KNOW: Long before it was a backdrop in our lives, the railroad nearby was one of the state's and the nation's first. It helped shape Athens into what it is today, connecting a small southern town to a wider world of commerce, culture, and movement.

At The Rivet House, we lean into that history. For those who prefer a quieter night, our in-room sleep kits are thoughtfully provided, so you can take in the character of Athens without missing a moment of rest.
