Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
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 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.
The Gulch
A sleek Gulch tower with the best hotel pool in Nashville on its eighth floor, a partnership with culinary icon Sean Brock's Audrey and June restaurants, and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the downtown skyline. The food programme alone — one of America's most anticipated restaurant openings — makes it worth the premium.
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.
Whites Creek
A 13-room luxury inn on the 130-acre estate of late country legend Barbara Mandrell, surrounded by rolling Tennessee hills and forest trails. The nature-immersed setting, fire pits, and genuinely warm Southern hospitality offer an antidote to Nashville's increasingly urban downtown hotel scene.
Vanderbilt / Midtown
A cheerful, affordable Marriott lifestyle brand targeting younger travellers, with a ground-floor bar and social spaces designed for mingling, compact but smartly designed rooms, and rates that are among the best value for a well-located Nashville stay. A short walk from Music Row, Centennial Park, and Vanderbilt's campus.
