Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Downtown Nashville
The tallest building in Nashville (43 stories) anchors the Convention Center complex with panoramic views from its upper floors and three restaurant concepts including the acclaimed Etch restaurant by Deb Paquette. The location above the pedestrian bridge over Broadway makes it the most conveniently placed luxury hotel in the city.
Downtown Nashville
A 1930 Noel Hotel converted into a stylish boutique with Tennessee whiskey-barrel–staved headboards, local artist installations, and the destination Makeready cocktail programme in its lower-level bar. The rooftop Denim bar is casual and genuinely fun, with some of the best Broadway-adjacent views in the city.
Downtown Nashville
The Louisville-based contemporary art museum hotel brand's Nashville outpost occupies a restored 1905 building with rotating contemporary art exhibitions accessible 24 hours a day, the excellent Gray & Dudley restaurant, and rooms that double as gallery spaces. The best hotel in Nashville for serious art lovers.
The Gulch
Nashville's finest hotel is also one of the great American art hotels — a 297-room tower with an extraordinary permanent collection of works by Kara Walker, Ellsworth Kelly, and Kehinde Wiley, anchored by the exceptional L.A. Jackson rooftop bar and Yolan fine dining restaurant. The design by Deborah Berke Partners sets a standard for Music City luxury.
Downtown Nashville
A genuinely fun boutique with a retro-Nashville personality — named for Bobby's Idle Hour Tavern, the rooftop bar with Airstream trailers as cocktail bars, mid-century-inspired rooms, and a lobby that feels like a design magazine shoot. Steps from Broadway's honky-tonks but manages to feel detached from the tourist frenzy.
Vanderbilt / Midtown
The academic-nostalgic hotel brand done Nashville-style — rooms decorated with Vanderbilt University and country music memorabilia, a rooftop bar in the shadow of the Parthenon replica, and rates significantly below the downtown luxury tier. The Centennial Park and Music Row locations make it ideal for visitors interested in the city beyond Broadway.
