Nashville, TN hotelsWith the advent of Airbnb, vacation rentals, and other accommodation, the hospitality industry has undergone somewhat of a renaissance, offering top-notch lodging to travelers for both leisure and business. Nashville is no exception to this trend, yet it takes it in a completely new direction. Over the past decade or so, several boutique hotels have started to pop up, giving guests five-star amenities and a vacation experience unlike any other.

SoBro Guest House

Located just three blocks off tourist-favored Broadway in downtown Nashville, the SoBro Guest House offers luxurious, apartment-style living in the heart of the city. When you check in, you’ll notice that the process is entirely automated, so you won’t have to call ahead if you’re early or late. Each room also has some nice appointments including a king bed, full kitchen, designer toiletries, complimentary grocery delivery, plush bathrobes, and two 48-inch LED televisions. A nice touch is the in-room record player and records, adding to the Music City vibe.

The Germantown Inn

Nestled in the center of Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood, the Germantown Inn is the ideal spot to stay to get a bit of local flair. Despite the amount of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venue in this area, few tourists choose to explore here, giving you the chance to live like a true Nashville resident.

The inn has only six rooms, each named for a U.S. President, but the funky decor seamlessly blends old with contemporary, creating a warm, inviting vibe. All six suites also have plenty of modern accessories such as a robe, private bath, a king bed, sitting area, and flat-screen television.

Situated above the 21c Museum, which features 10,500 square feet of contemporary artworks, the hotel is one of the larger boutique options in the city, boasting 124 guest rooms and 14 suites. Both the guest rooms and the suites have beautiful modern artwork on the walls and fresh decor, while the amenities are sure to please.

Each room comes with your choice of either a king bed or two double beds, luxurious bedding for a comfortable night’s sleep, a Nespresso coffee machine, free Wi-Fi, a 43-inch HDTV, designer toiletries, and access to both a 24-hour fitness center and 24-hour business center.

Urban Cowboy B&B

Nestled in the cultural center of East Nashville, the Urban Cowboy B&B is the ultimate blend of old and new Nashville. It features eight guest rooms in an old Queen Anne Victorian mansion, and each room has plush bedding, a television, and specially designed decor. A delicious Southern-style breakfast comes free each morning, and if you want to explore the city, the hotel is near many music venues, dive bars, and farm-to-table restaurants.

With so many amazing boutique hotels, you have plenty of options for your next visit to Nashville. By finding the one with the ideal amenities, location, and price, you’ll have a trip you won’t soon forget.
