Nashville Hotels

Establishment neighborhood
Thompson Nashville
401 11th Ave. S, The Gulch
Nashville’s hip factor reaches new heights at this hotel in the Gulch. The city’s relentlessly cool neighborhood is adjacent to both Music Row and Downtown, and the Thompson’s central location means there’s easy access to landmarks like the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and the Frist Art Museum. Inside, guest rooms epitomize rustic chic—hardwood floors, repurposed sliding barn doors, and subway-tiled bathrooms. And Marsh House draws in the locals with a menu of fried oysters, gumbo, and snapper crudo.
Hutton Hotel
1808 W. End Ave., Midtown
GP stayed at the Hutton Hotel for three weeks and truly enjoyed the whole experience. It's really well kept and has an eco-friendly bent, which means no bathtubs in order to conserve water, LED lighting, and a hybrid courtesy vehicle when in need. If you’re staying for an extended period and need a night in, the dining room is nice for a bite and a cocktail. There’s also the Analog Music Venue for live performances (check the website for a full schedule).
404 Hotel (Closed)
404 12th Ave. S, The Gulch
In a former mechanic’s garage in the Gulch neighborhood, this five-room gem revolves around Southern hospitality. The vibe—super comfortable but not overbearing as there’s no formal concierge or room service—is more like a well-appointed guest house rather than a traditional hotel. The rooms (some have spiral staircases leading to additional loft spaces) are decked out in Sferra linens, Malin + Goetz toiletries, and Turkish towels; the communal lounge area features vintage furniture and work from local artists. Sister restaurant the 404 Kitchen is just across the street.
