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...
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.

The Gulch
Nashville's original and most iconic boutique — eight rooms above The 404 Kitchen restaurant, hand-curated by owners Matt and Jessica Bolus with furniture sourced from the world's best flea markets and antique fairs. Booking one of the eight rooms requires planning, but the personality and...
