The Germantown Inn takes sophistication to the next level. Historic details combine with luxurious modern touches to achieve something way beyond the norm, while the charming service is a very welcome cherry on top. Each of the six suites is styled in a muted palette of neutrals, with just the occasional pop of neon pink to stop things becoming boring. Amenities are modern and plentiful, while the small size of the Inn guarantees a personal touch.

Urban Cowboy

5. Urban Cowboy

The achingly cool Urban Cowboy is a positive blast of fresh air. Forget your generic chains where every room looks alike- this place is bursting at the seams with individuality. The 8 “experiential suites” are like nothing you’ll have seen, let alone stayed, before, while for the ultimate experience, the Cabin (a freestanding bundling in the back of the property) is more than worth the extra couple of hundred dollars for the experience. The amenities are fairly standard issue, but the in-room clawfoot tubs takes things next level.

The Westin Nashville

4. The Westin Nashville

With drop chandeliers, sumptuous leather couches, and gorgeous columns, the lobby of The Westin Nashville has a unique personality all of its own. If you’ve got the budget, a few thousand dollars will get you a 2000 square foot luxury suite that screams luxury. Otherwise, expect a very decent room with a first-rate range of amenities and a more than satisfactory level of comfort. For treatments, head to the 6,000-square-foot Rhapsody Spa, while those in need of a beverage shouldn’t miss the opportunity to down a cocktail at the exquisite L27 rooftop lounge.

Omni Nashville

3. Omni Nashville Hotel

With its excellent proximity next to the Music City Centre and Bridgestone Ariana, few hotels offer as convenient a setting as the Omni Nashville Hotel for business travelers and concert goers. Neither are many as well geared up to cater to their leisure requirements. The full-service Mokara Spa is worth the visit alone, while the rooftop pool is, quite literally, the height of decadence. Rooms put the luxe in luxurious, with lots of velvet, bold decorations, and sexy color schemes.

The Hermitage Hotel

2. The Hermitage Hotel

The historic Hermitage Hotel offers guests the chance to experience a true taste of luxury. The opulence of the lobby extends into the guestrooms, which are as comfortable and rich in modern conveniences as they are decadent. The bathrooms, meanwhile, are the true star of the story, with deep soak bathtubs, plush robes, in-mirror TVs, and a good selection of Molton Brown toiletries. If you can bear to leave your room, you’ll find a great menu of American fare and beverages at The Oak Bar (if you can’t, you’ll be pleased to know there’s 24/7 room service).

Kimpton Aertson Hotel

1. Kimpton Aertson Hotel

Chic, trendy and with a youthful vibe, the Kimpton Aertson Hotel stands in stark contrast to the generic chains that litter the Midtown area. It’s smart, colorful décor is perfectly complemented by an exquisite collection of bold art pieces, while the front desk, which is constructed entirely from rope, is almost a work of art in itself. While rooms are on the smaller side, the high ceilings and large windows give them a light, spacious feeling none the less. Service is A+, while the range of amenities (which include all the usual plus yoga mats and complimentary access to bicycles) is exemplary.
