The 10 Most Unique Hotels in Nashville
Hotels with the most unique experiences must have a key component that set it apart from other nearby hotels, whether it is an experience, a room feature, or amenities. From unusual requests available at the front desk to living large in luxurious penthouse suites, these Nashville hotels will give guests a reason to spend more time at the hotel.
21c Museum Hotel Nashville
Why it made the list
Naturally, this hotel provides guests with a unique experience unlike most considering its lobby is an art museum, which is free and open to the public everyday of the year. Original art hangs in every room and the dining room has its own installation, but for a truly singular experience, check into one of the themed suites. Those feeling creatively inspired by the art museum will love the art studio suite, which has a visual arts studio as well as a music studio.
The 404 Hotel
Why it made the list
Apart from the hotel's notable restaurant and bar program set in a shipping container, the 404 Hotel offers a level of privacy not easily found. Utilizing keyless entry, guests are administered individual access codes to the hotel as well as their room. With only four rooms, the intimate hotel is similar to a flat with a separate loft space which provides enough room for another guest.
Aertson Hotel by Kimpton
Why it made the list
This hotel also allows guests to quickly assimilate into the local atmosphere without giving up the traditional hotel experience. Located next to Vanderbilt University, travelers can easily immerse themselves in the local culture from the saddle of one of Aertson Hotel's loaner cruiser bikes. An added health benefit of the wellness-minded hotel is the presence of a yoga mat in every room for easy access to a mindful morning of meditation.
SoBro Guest House
Why it made the list
Few hotels offer invisible service, but the Sobro Guest House is one of them. From keyless access and remote check-in to text message concierge and the grocery program, guests have as much or as little access to the traditional hotel experience as they like. The beauty of invisible service in a superb location such as the Sobro Guest House, which borders Sobro, the Gulch, Pie Town and Rutledge Hill neighborhoods, is that guests can seamlessly transition into life as a Nashville local.
Hotel Preston
Why it made the list
Hotel Preston is unique in that its amenities go beyond the standard pool and fitness center. Travelers can request board games, a lava lamp, or even a temporary pet Beta fish at the front desk. If the added in-room availabilities are not enough, guests can join outdoor games at the hotel's pool parties with a cool treat in hand from the popsicle stand during warmer months.
The Inn at Fontanel
Why it made the list
This hotel is set apart from other hotel stays as a redesigned Southern Living Idea Home as well as the former estate of country singer Barbara Mandrell. While guests will feel at home in large guest rooms -- both separated and within the main house, the property is home to many other activities and experiences for its guests such as ziplines, a distillery, a winery, and more than one music venue.
Germantown Inn
Why it made the list
Few hotels immerse guests into the local scene as well as Germantown Inn. From the locally-sourced breakfast to restaurant and bar recommendations for experiencing the best the neighborhood has to offer, the inn emphasizes its community. Guests will enjoy exploring the local scene with the help of local staff's suggestions.
Fairlane Hotel
Why it made the list
A new addition to Nashville's hotel landscape, the Fairlane Hotel embodies not only the visual vintage-inspirations through its style and decor, but also in its traditions. Though the five o'clock bar cart that is wheeled around the lobby daily is enough to make any traveler swoon, the hotel's high standards for quality add to the experience. No guest will suffer a bad cup of coffee or meal thanks to the partners established in Nashville exclusively with Fairlane.
The Westin Nashville
Why it made the list
This hotel's penthouses are built for rockstar legends. With whirlpool hot tubs, fireplaces, personal champagne bars, and butlers, guests can slip into the high life upon check in. The downtown location convenient to the trendiest neighborhoods and all the entertainment that comes with Broadway, makes the Westin one of the top luxury hotels in Nashville.
Nashville Downtown Hostel
Why it made the list
Only in hostels can guests meet other travelers and make new friends from around the world in the place they are temporarily calling home. Combined with a central, downtown location, this hostel is a welcome alternative to run-of-the-mill big chains. The hostel also has an additional common space with a stage and piano for musicians to hold impromptu riff sessions.
