"Housed in a Romanesque revival terminal that served trains from 1900 to 1979 and was restored after a multimillion-dollar renovation, this hotel centers live music within a two-story Grand Lobby featuring marble floors, large chandeliers, and a 65-foot-tall barrel-vaulted stained-glass ceiling. Now part of a major hotel collection and a member of Historic Hotels of America, the property offers 125 guestrooms and 12 suites with contemporary furnishings (suites in bolder colors), nightly live music in the lobby and at the hotel bar Ergo, and easy walking access to the National Museum of African American Music and the Ryman Auditorium." - Pat Tompkins
