21c Museum Hotel Nashville
"How did it strike you on arrival?The common areas of this historic building are stark, and notably, full of art—as at other 21c hotels, the art is free to tour whether you're staying at the hotel or not. What’s the crowd like?Guests are the types who have annual memberships to the Met. Tell us about the rooms.While the 124 guest rooms are on the smaller side, they're well-designed so as not to feel tiny. Each features original artwork from 21c co-founder, Laura Lee Brown. How about the little things, like minibar, or shower goodies. Any of that worth a mention?The minibar is stocked with Goo Goo Clusters ($5), a local treat, in addition to craft beers from Nashville area breweries Mill Creek and Black Abbey ($6). How are the bathrooms?Bathrooms are tiled and outfitted with products from Malin + Goetz—the ultimate in hotel toiletries, if you ask me—as well as the brand's signature amenity: a rubber ducky. You'll want to take an extra-long shower tonight. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi is fast and complimentary. Room service: What are we looking at?Room service is provided by Gray & Dudley, the hotel’s on-site restaurant. Breakfast dishes range from $5 to $13; all-day dining entrées range from $5 to $32. Anything else we should have asked about that we missed?The art (again): Exhibits in the museum change out a couple times a year and span a variety of mediums. These are big city museum-worthy showings. Bottom line: worth it?Though 21c hotels are never cheap, they do ensure quality, comfort, and divergent amenities (i.e. art exhibits)." - Kristin Luna
