Nashville is a traveler’s darling; a place to dance to live music, eat at award-winning restaurants, learn civil rights history—and spend an afternoon paddle boarding. For all the different reasons people come to Nashville, there’s a hotel with the right vibe. No longer a city of only generic places to sleep off a night at a honky-tonk, Nashville’s hotel scene now is part of the lure of the city, destinations in their own right. Many have music-themed packages (it’s more common than not to see a guitar in your room), original art by locals, and many of the city’s finest restaurants helmed by the city’s most talented chefs are located inside hotels.
Dream big: Custom leather boot-making experiences? A tour of a vintage guitar collection? Sun yourself at a private cabana? Check, check, and check. Impressive new openings mean existing hotels are constantly improving, adding more amenities, activities, and dishes from well-known chefs. These best hotels in Nashville are not just places you lay down in between trips to Broadway and the Ryman—read on to find out why.
