The 6 Best Hotels in Midtown Nashville

Midtown Nashville is a riot — an explosion of different scenes and street art and countercultures. It’s the meeting place of different backgrounds, crammed between Music Row, West End, Downtown and Hillsboro Village, so you can expect a heady mix of business execs, drag queens, music industry folk and bohemian students. This is why it’s a notoriously fun place for a night out, teeming with drag shows and variety acts, rock gigs and laid-back bars and chef-led restaurants. In this spirit, the best hotels in Midtown Nashville are all effortlessly cool, on-trend, and bewilderingly idiosyncratic.

For something chic and wild

Graduate Nashville is styled like a whimsical 1950s American diner; rooms boast a loud and playful Barbie Doll-chic aesthetic, with floral bed drapes. And there’s a fun, trendy poolside bar on a bright pink rooftop terrace. It’s located near Vanderbilt University, in the heart of Midtown — perfectly located for a romantic weekend away.
Virgin Hotels Nashville is on Music Row which is why it caters to such a hip young crowd. Guests can rub shoulders with music industry aficionados at the awesome pool parties they throw on the outdoor terrace, dine at the three cool, creative restaurants, play table tennis or billiards, or sip a cocktail in the shade of the leafy terrace. A great place for young couples and young business travellers alike.

For good ol’ fashioned southern hospitality

If you want a taste of tranquil southern hospitality, check out the Kimpton Aertson Hotel. Set in a quiet neighbourhood near Music Row, this hotel is a cool, modern spin on the laid-back elegance we associate with the Old South. Cool, spacious, light-filled rooms come with floor-to-ceiling windows and stunning city views from private balconies. Plus there's a pampering spa, evening wine receptions and a Southern-inspired gourmet restaurant. A great choice for families or couples who love a glass of wine, but not a pool party!

For families and pets

Loews Vanderbilt Hotel is one of the best hotels in Midtown Nashville for families. Kids and pets are welcome to this laid-back, stylish hotel. The smart, urban rooms belie the friendly vibe here. Children under 18 stay for free and there are lots of additional amenities (board games, colouring books and much more) on hand should you need them.

On a budget

Hayes Street Hotel is where you get your money’s worth. This contemporary, spacious hotel is centrally located, with sleek and minimalist rooms, boasting a casual bar and restaurant serving up All-American favourites and local drafts. Great for business travellers or anyone on a budget.

For luxury

A five-star skyscraper rising high over Midtown, Conrad Nashville has something for everyone. You and expect sink-into beds, chic light-filled rooms and suites, marble-tiled bathrooms, and a refined, elegant fine-dining restaurant. You can also hang out at the cool rooftop pool and bar, and it’s perfectly located to explore the vibrant local nightlife. The best luxury hotel in Midtown Nashville.
