Opened in 2021, W Nashville has quickly become a favorite in the southern city’s growing repertoire of luxury hotels. 

The hotel, with 346 rooms and suites, is situated in The Gulch neighborhood, a trendy former industrial enclave that has transformed into one of Nashville’s most desirable areas, boasting boutiques, breweries, music venues, eateries and some of the city’s best street art. 

The hotel is also within walking distance of the famed honky tonks of Broadway Street but you don’t actually have to leave the hotel to get your live music fix – W Nashville hosts a daily program of live music. 

The hotel also boasts a stellar line-up of culinary options including two restaurants by James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini. There are also three bars to choose from, including Proof, an atmospheric rooftop spot with gorgeous city views. 

A rooftop pool on the sprawling 10,000-sq-ft lower deck is flanked by daybeds and hosts weekend pool parties in the summer months. It’s also easy (in theory) to keep up with your fitness regime at the state-of-the-art gym featuring Peleton bikes and fitness classes. 

The most coveted abode is W Nashville’s Extreme WOW Suite. A modern mix of industrial polish with warm, tranquil tones and Nashville-inspired artwork, the suite has the feel of a very cool and stylish friend’s penthouse apartment. 

The large living room features a vintage jukebox and is framed by an expanse of glass leading to a private terrace overlooking the Nashville skyline. 

A wet bar and fully stocked kitchen mean the party can come to you, should you wish it to. But we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to keep this luxury pad all to yourself and spend the evening soaking in the bedroom’s sumptuous freestanding tub while taking in sweeping views over the city.
