The 6 Best Hotels in Nashville (Updated 2025)

"Housed in an all-brick church from the early 20th century, this boutique property kept original features like stained-glass windows, brick walls, and pews repurposed as headboards, and I love the colorful lobby with high ceilings, eclectic furniture, and complimentary tea and coffee. They donate a portion of proceeds to nonprofits that help people experiencing homelessness (staying a weekend can provide someone with 16 nights of shelter). The 23 rooms each feature different decor and local artwork curated by a well-known Nashville designer; all have standard amenities (flatscreen TV, free toiletries, minifridge, Keurig, desk) plus perks like a noise machine and a complimentary basket of local snacks. The bathrooms are colorfully tiled and have mirrors shaped like church windows, and there's even a free parking spot across the street if you're on a road trip." - Matthew Kepnes
