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 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.
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
Tennessee's only Forbes Five-Star hotel, opened in 1910, with a Beaux-Arts lobby of breathtaking grandeur — green marble columns, barrel-vaulted ceiling, and the original Art Deco mahogany check-in desk. The Capitol Grille restaurant and the Oak Bar are Nashville institutions, and the ladies' lounge (open to all) is one of the most celebrated Art Deco interiors in the South.
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.
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.
