Music City: Nashville Hotels for Country Fans

“Every city has a music scene, but there’s only one Music City: the legendary Nashville, Tennessee. Its enduring creative spirit has earned it the title Songwriting Capital of the World, and venues and studios – including country music icon the Grand Ole Opry – have inspired and nurtured generations of musicians. Expect festivals, tours, events and live music every day – and as you can imagine, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to hotels too…

The Cambria Hotel
——————

Once filled with empty buildings and worn-down streets, the SoBro neighbourhood (Nashville-speak for South of Broadway) is where you’ll find the honky-tonk bars and the Music City Centre. There’s also the Country Music Hall of Fame, and museums dedicated to Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline, plus loads of tours and live music venues. The Cambria Hotel is packed with music-themed décor and features, right down to the bathroom mirrors – they come with built-in Bluetooth speakers, so you can keep the tunes playing while you shower or shave. Genius.

21c Museum Hotel
—————–

In the heart of SoBro, 21c Museum Hotel is much more than a place to crash. It’s a testament to Nashville’s irrepressible creativity, bringing together hospitality, design, first-class dining and a contemporary art museum. Here you’ll find thought-provoking exhibitions, interactive site-specific installations and a full programme of events. There are loads of big Music City attractions, event spaces and tours nearby, including the Music City Walk of Fame Park, a landmark tribute to musical genius.

Noelle
———–

Want a taste of Downtown Nashville’s mid-century boom years? Try Noelle, a restored and reimagined 1930s hotel. Inside, period features mix with modern design – but arguably Noelle’s best innovation is its partnerships with local makers, curators and artists, which bring all sorts of locally produced goodies to the shop and restaurants. Downtown Nashville is just a block away – head to the Bridgestone Arena for world-class concerts and events, or stroll to the famous Honky Tonk Highway (aka Lower Broadway) for your pick of jumpin’ joints.

The 404 Hotel
——————

While Downtown and SoBro are bursting with popular sights, the Gulch neighbourhood has become something of a hotspot for young urbanites. A perfect union of industrial history and contemporary style, it’s characterised by old warehouses reimagined as residential and office spaces, and its creative restaurants and vibrant nightlife have made it one of Nashville’s hottest neighbourhoods. Don’t miss quirky lifestyle shop Two Old Hippies, where you can jam in the special guitar room. The upscale 404 Hotel makes a perfect base, complete with an award-winning restaurant.

Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
————————————————

Just 15 minutes’ drive from Downtown Nashville, the Music Valley area is all about entertainment, activities, food and shopping – it’s great for families, and prices are often lower than in the heart of the city. Gaylord Opryland Resort is at the heart of it, and has masses to do on site, including boat rides on an artificial river that flows through the property! And while you won’t have Honky Tonk Highway on your doorstep, you won’t be missing out on music – the Grand Ole Opry itself is right next door.
