If there were an award for the most beautiful hotel in the city of Nashville, the winnings would be hard won. There are all sorts of stunning places to stay, some that boast private hotel lessons, others that have gorgeous rooftop bars and restaurants. There’s only one that can say it’s an art museum as well as a prime hotel, though, and it’s the 21C Museum Hotel in the heart of the city. If you haven’t been, it’s simply a must. Take a look at fall in love below, then perhaps make a reservation for yourself.
21c Nashville is located in a stunningly renovated brick building in the heart of the city's downtown. The structure was built in 1900, which provides thoughtful opposition to the hotel's focus on contemporary art.
Known as a boutique hotel, art museum and restaurant, the opening of 21c Nashville is sure to provide an upscale investment in the city's visual art focus.
Inside, you'll find everything from historic furniture to original, contemporary artwork. A majority of the museum's interior space has an upscale industrial aesthetic, with glass-enclosed showers and massive windows adding to the ambience.
The contemporary art gallery, of course, is a must-visit. It has almost 11,000 square feet of space purely dedicated to art exhibition. The hotel is located just a few blocks from the Ryman Auditorium and Nashville's famed Honkytonk Highway, so it's an easy spot to fit into your itinerary.
At the time of publication, rates for a room at the 21c Nashville could be booked for $193 a night. There are 124 guest rooms and suites, and each are outfitted with their own original artwork, large windows that let in streams of natural light, and floor-to-ceiling draperies that add a bit of an elegant flair. The Nespresso machine in every room will help wake you up, and the docking station for your phone is highly appreciated.
If you haven't stayed at the 21c Nashville, it's a must-visit. This beautiful space has quickly become one of the most elegant hotels in the city, both by design and in service.
Not looking to book a room? No problem! The 21c Nashville is open every day of the year and is free to the general public. Keep in mind that every Tuesday at 7 p.m. and on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. the museum offers a guided docent tour.
