Its public spaces are vast, welcoming in both guests and locals to its eateries, including the Italian chophouse Carne Mare and the Barista Parlor coffee shop; its bars, including the WET deck pool bar and the rooftop Proof bar, known for its late-night DJ sets." - Travel + Leisure Editors

17 Best Hotels in Nashville Right Now | Condé Nast Traveler

"If there is a see-and-be-seen hotel among Nashville’s hotel scene, it’s at the W. Its large lobby is designed for hanging out—in contrast to a trend toward lobby-less hotels—and as a result it feels like the central people-watching perch in the Gulch neighborhood. The hotel welcomes people in, not just hotel guests, for live music and yoga and to the large L-shaped pool (reservations required). Locals also flock here to eat at one of Chef Andrew Carmellini’s two restaurants and to grab a coffee hometown favorite Barista Parlor in the lobby. The central location is a prime homebase for shopping, eating, and drinking, close to the Station Inn, the Frist Art Museum, and 15 minutes from Lower Broadway and the Ryman Auditorium." - Margaret Littman

W Nashville

"Why book?  It’s fun to be in the center of a scene, and W Nashville always feels like it is, even when there isn’t something special going on. Set the scene  W hotels are known for catering to a young clientele. That background, plus the surrounding Gulch neighborhood’s reputation as a place for bachelorette late nights and mimosas the next day, makes for a young crowd at The W. But this isn’t the cram-six-friends-into-bunk-beds crowd (there are other places for that). This is the well-dressed, ready to go-and-out-and-tip-big crowd, folks who want to have fun, and also appreciate coming back to a hotel with a hopping bar (or two) and a good view. The backstory  When Marriott opened the Nashville outpost of its W brand in 2021 it announced a new direction for the hotel chain. The idea was to attract people—both hotel guests and locals—to the hotel for events, including pool parties, live music performances, and places to (and reasons to) hang out. The rooms  The guest rooms feel like you are in the home of your most stylish friend, with comfortable, upholstered couches, brightly patterned pillows and rugs, funky light fixtures, modern art, artfully tiled bathrooms, and a mirrored bar (above the mini bar) outfitted with whatever is needed to mix a cocktail as you look out at the impressive view. Some suites have large soaking bathtubs. Leave time to curl up in the provided plush robe before you head out. Food and drink  James Beard Award-winner Andrew Carmellini has his name on two restaurants in the W, the more casual The Dutch and Italian chophouse Carne Mare. Carne Mare is a dark, clubby getaway that you enter from the side street (not from the hotel lobby). The menu is laden with indulgences, from oysters to mozzarella sticks topped with caviar to wagyu steaks reliably cooked to perfection. Sunset Bar is the popular destination on the WET pool deck for a drink, followed by another at Proof, the late-night rooftop spot. The lobby is home to Barista Parlor, one of Nashville’s favorite locally owned coffee shops, bedecked with art from Isle of Printing.The neighborhood/area  The streets of the Gulch are lined with restaurants, bars, boutiques, and Nashville’s largest collection of outdoor murals. You won’t be bored here and can spend a good part of a vacation checking out music venues such as the world-famous Station Inn. A small dog park across the street attracts the neighborhood’s apartment dwellers as well as hotel guests traveling with dogs. When you want to venture out to Lower Broadway, you’re an easy 15-minute walk away. The service  If you have a special request—tickets to the Grand Ole Opry or whomever is playing at the Ryman—the concierge will be able to help you out. They’ll also point you to all of the hotel’s in-house programming.  Eco effort  Electric car-charging stations Accessibility  The hotel complies with ADA standards, with ramps, elevators, Braille signage, and more.  Anything left to mention?  The in-house boutique is more than a place to buy the toothbrush you forgot: It’s a good stop for tasteful Nashville-themed gifts and clothing. Check out the schedule for acoustic live music on the hotel’s “Spanish steps.”" - Margaret Littman

The W Nashville was wonderful! We had a reservation at a different hotel that was cancelled on us, but it all turned out for the better because we needed up at this great hotel! Tony the manager was fantastic, very welcoming, and kind to us after the upsetting experience we had just had. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are lovely. All the staff were so friendly. Miles, the valet was quick with getting our car when we needed it and was so very polite. We will be back!!!

This is a gem of Nashville! Fantastic rooms, awesome location and I heard “Neon Moon”’playing before I went to bed - a perfect Nashville ending to a day! Seriously - fantastic hotel for business or pleasure! The Marvelous suites are perfect for a comfy stay. Miles and Jacob are the friendliest greeters you’ll ever meet at valet and Autumn - a star in the restaurant - will get your day started right with humor, wit and southern charm. The W is a perfect place to stay in Nashville. Go have a great adventure in the coolest city in the south!

Wonderful experience at the W Nashville! Checked in early. No rooms available, so we did have a wait which wasn’t a problem. This review is as much about the hotel as it is about the front desk experience. Nareen at the front desk could not have been more kind and helpful. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. She set our room up, told us she’d call when ready so we went to lunch. She helped us when I asked if we had the right restaurants booked, and was just overall awesome to speak and work with. The room was ready within an hour or so. When we arrived back at the hotel following lunch, our bags were already in the room, so we went up, changed, and went right to the pool. The pool was great. Awesome vibe. You might have to wait to grab a chair but it turns over pretty decent. Location required some walking to Broadway and other popular spots, but this is where you want to stay in Nashville if you’re chasing a vibe!

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night and I wish we stayed more! The service was amazing, we loved the valet parking. Miles helped us out as well as a few other gentleman. They were very friendly. Room was great. We loved the roof side pool as well as the roof top seating. Seriously the best hotel we have stayed at. 10/10 recommend will definitely be returning.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. Great rooms, smart layout of bathroom for multiple guests per room; nice amenities for water, coffee, office space. Very helpful staff, willing to help guests with anything, especially Mars helping with valet, bell run and guest curbside services.

As travel advisors, concert goers, and excitement seekers visiting Nashville for the first time during CMA Fest, our stay at W Nashville exceeded our expectations! Located in the trendy Gulch neighborhood, it’s an upscale but walkable spot close to all the action.||Thanks to our Platinum and Luminous status, we were upgraded to a “Cool Corner Suite.” The floor-to-ceiling windows offered fantastic views, and the electric blackout shades made relaxing effortless. We were greeted with champagne, chocolates, and a well-stocked minibar.||The rain shower was luxurious, the robes extra plush, and the bed extremely comfortable (we recommend asking for extra pillows). We appreciated the abundance of free bottled water, a thoughtful and hydrating touch. Our room included a daily breakfast. Overall, an exceptional stay. Highly recommend W Nashville to couples, festival-goers, and anyone seeking a luxury experience with a splash of modern charm.

Long overdue as we were there in April but wanted to be sure that you knew of our incredible impression of many of your staffers but in particular, Rosheen who was so pleasant as we entered the front doors on our check in day. Her smiles are effortless and truly makes you feel like you stepped into a special world where you would be met with a memorable experience. She was so accommodating and assisted us with storing our luggage until our room was ready as we had an unexpected earlier arrival. She was truly an example of exceptional! To all of your staff, who made us feel so welcome and were so friendly, I cannot possibly say enough. We need more people in this world to make eye contact, to smile frequently, to offer suggestions, to be friendly and your team does just that so well. Chris, a seasoned bartender was so kind and offered some great places to check out. The Shop at the W was so charming and we were able to find some really great pieces to take home with us. You honestly could not expect a better shop experience. Friendly and fun. Liz and Justin were helpful at least twice and there was never a time when we didn't feel like we weren't completely happy with our stay, aside from chilly weather which was out of your team's control of course! We truly hope that we will have the good fortune to make another trip down sometime this year as it was just the best way to regroup and re-energize as well as celebrate my daughter's birthday. With a medically fragile person requiring maximum care at home, this stay meant so much to us. I don't remember the last time I had more than 4.5 hours sleep at one time, and yet, I felt like royalty on those incredibly comfortable beds and felt so good when I woke up in the morning! Thank you, thank you for all that you do to make everyone feel special.

I've stayed here many times before for special work events. This was a weekly work visit but no event's at the hotel. I forgot how comfortable the beds were. After spending 5 days in another 4.5 star hotel last night was the perfect rest. The hotel is always so inviting the bellman was extremely helpful. The front desk could have been a bit more inviting though.

Soft beds, spacious rooms and plenty of upscale amenities in the room and in the hotel. I heard two years ago this spot was a parking lot. First floor has a coffee shop, bar, a hotel shop and a Sax Fifth Avenue store. Because I'm here for events outside the hotel I didn't get to experience any of the dining establishments. However when I checked in I was given a refillable water bottle and informed of filling stations for chilled or sparkling water throughout the hotel. This is an amazing option and I'm so glad to share about it in my review. Stay green W and I will return and recommend.

Local here! Attended the Juneteenth pool party at the wet deck this year. All you can eat cookout for $25. Good drinks served poolside. All around great experience. I got tickets at a discount through do 615 and found street parking at $2.25 a hour, 3 hour max. Nice to take advantage of the new hotels taking over Nashville, if you can't beat them, join them I guess lol I wouldn't recommend paying a $50 ticket price for the pool access on top of food/drinks here unless you're looking for an elevated pool day experience on vacation. Like most things involving Nashville tourism, it's not set up to be "local" friendly, this is 100% a tourist experience situation. And that's exactly what most people want, so enjoy! Get the cheeseburger.

This is a nice Marriot property. Everyone was polite and it was well apportioned. The pros, great city view from the eighth floor. The cons. I needed instructions to operate the shower which weren't there. Really a card would go along way. Then I don't think there was a plug for the blow dryer in the bathroom, but they had great hairdryers. Babyliss for you connoisseurs. With a concentrator even. But I had to blow dry my hair outside the bathroom?

The W Nashville is a fantastic Marriott property in The Gulch neighborhood. It's a great location with tons of walkability. There are amazing restaurants right around the corner, and it's only a 20-minute walk to the infamous Honky Tonk Highway. The staff at the W Nashville were top-notch and made the stay even more enjoyable. Just a heads up to future travelers - the bars in the hotel close at 12 am and last call is at 11:30 pm. This was a bit surprising and honestly, the only downside to my stay. Overall, I had a great stay at the W Nashville. The location is unbeatable, the staff is fantastic, and there's plenty to explore nearby. Just be aware of the earlier bar closing times if that's important to you.

Public parking across the street, valet parking available! We visited the living room bar on Friday night for the Live Music with Clifford Ray. No reservation needed. It was a cool and chic bar. Live music was a plus. The service was very good and we were checked in often. It was a nice bar to hangout. We ordered drinks and food. all drinks were good and food were so-so. Heineken, Aperol spritz and Living On a Pear: Eggplant Dip with Yogurt, Mint and Spiced Crackers: per normal Pimento Cheese with Chow Chow and Crackers: kind of cold. Curry Cashews: mild sweet

Welp, right here Ladies and Gentleman is my must-do spot when in the Gulch. So unsuspecting, but then you go up to the rooftop bar and are completely blown away. The views, the food, the drinks, and of course it is Napa, so the music was fab. Definitely on the pricier side, but well worth it.

W Hotel Nashville's Living Room bar offers a vibrant ambiance that seamlessly combines eccentricity, coziness, and intimacy, making it a standout destination. However, my experience was marred by unexpected changes to the live entertainment hours, which shifted from the advertised 7 PM-11 PM to 6 PM-10 PM, catching me off guard and causing some disappointment (even by much of the crowd that gathered). I would recommend adjusting Entertainment on the W Stage from 6 PM to 11 PM! Despite this setback, the Living Room bar's overall appeal cannot be denied. The attention to detail in its design, coupled with the inviting and stylish decor, creates a captivating atmosphere that sets the stage for an enjoyable evening. The bar strikes a perfect balance between eccentric charm and cozy intimacy, making it a unique and memorable space. During my visit, I had their warm chocolate chip cookies. Unfortunately, they fell short of expectations, tasting as if they had been baked two days prior. Dry, cold, hard. However, the staff's responsiveness and swift action in removing the cookies from my bill were commendable. As a regular visitor, I appreciate W Hotel Nashville's commitment to providing a vibrant and lively atmosphere. Despite the unexpected changes to the live entertainment hours and the minor issue with the cookies, the Living Room bar remains an enticing destination for those seeking a memorable experience.

This rooftop bar is price gouging so bad for drinks. We ordered two espresso martinis with TITOS vodka, I got the check and it was for $44, after tip $48 (not tipping 20% on two outrageously priced drinks) This is absolutely absurd pricing. See in photo how small of a martini it was too.

I stayed in the Wow Suite, which is essentially the Presidential suite. I paid with a points and cash combo. One king bed, 1.5 bathrooms. Panoramic glass ceiling to floor windows, balcony overlooking the famous Nashville angel wings. Two robes, a tub, stocked mini fridge, dining room table, record player, two tv's and a very large couch. The rooftop bar is beautiful! The espresso martini is a must. The fire pits outside, the blankets. What a great view of the city with great service. The cabanas rentals are closed for the winter, but I would definitely rent one during the summer! We didn't indulge in breakfast because there's a phenomenal breakfast spot around the corner. If you want to be on Broadway or by the arena, it's over a mile walk. I would recommend ubering or staying at the JW.

This hotel lies about the "wonderful "views of the city. Only thing I can see was a parking lot. When I called the front desk they said all the rooms are listed as city views false advertising, you could tell the practice answering this a lot. I was told by the front desk that I could come in a few hours early to check in, unfortunately, on arrival young lady at the desk said my room was not ready and I can't check in early. I told front desk agent that I called and a gentleman over phone said my room was ready and I can come in a few hours early, she tried to make me feel like a liar by saying said they don't have any males answering phones. So I called From my phone in front of her and proved her wrong when the same gentleman answered the phone. I payed for transportation and showed up two hours early for nothing very unprofessional. The night stand had an ugly burnt stain.

Great views. Nice nashville spicy wings as an appetizer to enjoy the scene. Worth going up to catch a sunset. Outside seating. Big glass wall as a fence.

I booked a stay for a corporate meeting, and the staff was extremely helpful and patient with me as I tried to iron out all of the details. Special shoutout to Prince and Alexis who helped with the booking, and to all the staff who is super caring and friendly. My team and I enjoyed our stay here immensely. We loved The Dutch restaurant with live music and the hotel's rooftop bar. Would definitely recommend.

This is a review for the rooftop bar, Proof. SUMMARY. My girlfriend took me here for my birthday before dinner and I couldn't have been happier. Very chill and low key ambience with great drinks and cozy/intimate seating. Can't go wrong! RESERVATION. We did not make reservations. We walked in without issue at 7pm on a Tuesday and there weren't many people. I can't speak to whether they take reservations. AMBIENCE. Very cool vibe. Understated and chic with an inviting elegance. Comfy furniture with high ceilings and a fireplace. We sat inside, but the patio looked very nice. LOCATION. Location is in the Gulch on The W hotel rooftop. We Ubered, so I can't speak to parking. QUALITY. The quality was very good. I got an old fashioned, which did not disappoint. SERVICE. Service was spot on. Did not wait long at all for drinks and bill. We seated ourselves without issue, as well. VALUE. Value was on par with what you would expect from an upscale cocktail bar. Expect to pay ~$20 per drink all-in with tax and tip. Not cheap, but worth it. TAKEAWAYS. High end cocktail bar definitely worth checking out. I'll be adding it to my list for sure! Happily, Clayton Cohn

On the recommendation of a friend, we birded over from capitol view to the W to experience their roof top bar. It does truly have a 270 degree view of the city with garage doors that merge the in door and out door experience. Upon recommendation of the bar tender, I had several craft cocktails that were both on and off the menu. Although it was a Wednesday night the atmosphere was still bustling without being too crowded. The service was fantastic, and I will be definitely headed back to soak up more of the experience that the w has to offer.

Dj popping on the weekends at the roof top bar. A diverse spot for drinks and meet up. Got a nice vibes for city views and patio seating. Right in the gulch for convenience and close by to other restaurants. Not close enough to walk downtown to broadway. Unless you got the good walking shoes. Don't do it.

If you like the W brand you will love it here. W Nashville is the largest hotel in Nashville, located in the... you guessed it, it's in the elite neighborhood of Nashville which is the Gulch. It has 14 stories and more than 280 rooms and 60 suites. The building also has meeting rooms, pool, gym facility and other amenities. Inside the hotel, there is a neighborhood coffee shop (barista parlor), two restaurants, one of them being the Dutch. There are also high-end retail and live entertainment. Room rates start at $300+ per night.

Great hotel with modern, clean rooms, a gorgeous pool and cool bars and lounges inside. Only suggestion or warning I have is that if you get the rooms that face the pool, the music is extremely loud during the day, so you won't be able to sleep in or nap.

My wife and I recently stayed at this brand new hotel. OZZY at the front desk was very welcoming,helpful, friendly and extremely professional. She helped us with all of our stay and hotel questions... The hotel room was gorgeous and immaculate! The beds pillows and comforter were a DREAM to sleep on! The rain head shower was fantastic! ... I loved the roof top bar and hotel restaurant called THE DUTCH! You have to order the avocado toast with 2 eggs over medium and strawberry shortcake French toast or blueberry pancakes which are also a MUST! Tell them to bring you extra syrup they get chincy on that! The Mimosas were excellent too! Lastly the Valet staff was very helpful, efficient and professional too! A great big shout out to Enrique and Carson!! You guys rock and are a great addition to superb customer service that this hotel consistently offers! Our stay here was truly EPIC!! See ya soon W!

This place is amazing. It's so funky and has stylish Decour. The people are super nice (ala Nashville). I love the rooms. The service was amazing. Room service was up in a jiffy. They have a super cute boutique downstairs if you forget anything. And the pool is great, just kind of busy on the weekends during the summer months. There was a really sweet girl who worked at the pool with brown hair and a "444" necklace but I forget her name and she took really good care of us. Highly recommend

This hotel is a dream! Great location and even better staff. They catered to our every need, were always smiling, and they went out of their way to make sure we had the best tips for dinners and bars. We enjoyed our coffee drinks at Barista Parlor as well. Can't wait to stay here again!

A great hotel with friendly staff. We stayed here recently for several nights and enjoyed everything about this hotel from the checkin, valet, restaurant food, service, bars, and spacious room. This hotel is in the Gulch and close to some great restaurants and less than a mile from Broadway - if you decide/have to walk it like we did multiple times. I'll definitely return. Thx for the hospitality.

Very poorly run hotel. were not able to execute on what they said they could for their guests traveling out of town. not a premier hotel. if you want a good hotel in nashville, don't come here. amateur hour
