For the location

• The Germantown Inn is a chic boutique hotel in the upscale Germantown district. The ten suites are light and airy with spacious contemporary bathrooms and local artworks. Boasting a quiet setting close to good restaurants and upmarket shops, yet with easy access to the city.
• The 404 is a small hip boutique property with sleek, vintage, custom-built furniture and original art-works. Conveniently situated in the Gulch neighbourhood, between Music Row and downtown Nashville, plus it is next door to the well-known restaurant The 404 Kitchen. This is a simple and stylish choice.

For groups

• 121 Hotel is a stylish boutique hotel offering an intimate, luxurious base in the heart of the city. A good choice for groups as rooms can be configured to accommodate different group sizes; take a whole floor, the entire property, or a couple of rooms.
• Downtown Sporting Club is set right amidst the honky-tonks on Broadway. The rooms are contemporary and stylish while bunk rooms are ideal for friends travelling on a budget. The roof terrace bar is a lively affair plus there is a popular Southern-inspired restaurant and sports bar. A fun city stay.
• Studio 154 is an all-suite hotel in downtown. Suites vary in size but all have a hip industrial feel with high ceilings, exposed brickwork and vast warehouse windows. Large rooms have kitchenettes or kitchens. With various sleeping arrangements, this is ideal for groups.

For couples

For self-catering

• Stay Alfred Sobro is a very central guesthouse comprising of 24 self-catering suites. Accommodation is bright and contemporary with minimalist furniture, expansive windows, large seating areas and a well-equipped kitchenette. With the Music City's nightlife and attractions nearby, this is a great city crash pad for independent travellers.
• Nashville Riverfront Lofts are a hip collection of apartments set just steps from Downtown's Lower Broadway. Options greatly vary in size and style. The largest penthouses are vast warehouse conversions (the best has a rooftop pool). Smaller options are contemporary and chic. Ideal for families or groups wanting independence.

For city style

• Vandyke Bed and Beverage is an undeniably hip concept — eight chic rooms set atop one of the city's best cocktail bars. Rooms have that modern Scandinavian feel with potted plants, pale wood, and retro-inspired furniture.
