"Upon first look, the Union Station Hotel looks like I'm about to hop on a train back to the Lou since the castellated structure's initial purpose was a railroad terminal back in the 1900's. As soon as you bust through the doors into the main lobby, your head is immediately attracted up toward the stained glass roof illuminating what used to be the main terminal. Off the main lobby, there are a few event spaces, a well equipped bar, and an award winning restaurant, Prime108. Our friend that showed us around, Kate, had a wealth of knowledge on the history of the building and the stories that came with it. If you stay in room 711 you'll be sharing the space with their resident ghost, Abigail, a friendly ghost only victim to the classic broken heart. This is no Budget Motel Inn Express! Make your stay a part of Nashville's history." - ST8MNT
"The Union Station was practically built for the Harry Potter-themed 9 3⁄4 pop-up. And so they’ve decked out their lobby this holiday season with Hogwarts house banners, floating lanterns and candles, a hidden golden snitch, flying owls, and a luggage cart. The pop-up’s menu features cocktails and bites inspired by the series including the Goblet of Fire with rye, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, and maple syrup; the Dark Magic with vodka, masala chai, and coffee liqueur; and a Two Brooms burger. The pop-up runs through December 29 and opens at 1 p.m. daily." - Ellen Fort
"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

"Nashville's original train station is now a grandiose hotel with a live music series Riffs on the Rails, every other Thursday, featuring both local and national singers and songwriters. Union Station is one of the city's most recognizable buildings, and the hotel has a 65-foot vaulted lobby ceiling punctuated by centry-old stained glass. But the recent room renovation gives them a more contemporary feel than the common areas would lead you to believe." - CNT Editors
