The 8 Best Hotels in SoBro

It’s easy to see why people love the bustling streets of SoBro (South of Broadway), particularly Broadway Avenue, glowing as it does with neon lights, and lined with luxury high-rises and cool bars and music venues set in gentrified brickwork buildings. It’s walkable by North American standards, replete with charming public parks, and trendy cafes, teeming with oh-so-southern museums dedicated to country music and Johnny Cash, and local art galleries. The best hotels in SoBro reflect the eclectic, fun and vibrant vibe of the neighbourhood. You can expect some five star luxury pads alongside boutique apartments and minimalist suites.

For Southern luxury

The Joseph effortlessly blends old world refinement with modern luxury. With its Italian flair, thousands of artworks, gorgeous rooftop pool and renowned cocktail bar, it’s the definition of luxury. The suites come with a curated mix of vinyl albums, an ode to Nashville’s rich artistic culture. The restaurants are led by Michelin-starred chefs. Book the Presidential Suite for the full shebang, with its spellbinding views of the city, its Italian marble bar and Steinway grand piano — it’s an unforgettable experience.
Contemporary, spacious, and full of light, The Westin Nashville is one of the best luxury hotels in SoBro. This huge hotel is conveniently set in a great downtown location, making it a pretty plush base from which to explore the bustling, vibrant neighbourhood, which you can see stretch before you from the vast terraces and rooftop pool. There's the Rhapsody Spa for a rejuvenating massage and the Oak Steakhouse for delicious American fare.
Four Seasons Nashville is another high-end oasis in SoBro, a luxury five-star hotel with fabulous river views from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the spacious, sleek, light, stone-floored rooms.

Smart, rustic, eco-conscious luxury.
