Hotels in Nashville

Our shortlist of hotels in Nashville, Tennessee: every qualifying property within 10 miles of the centre, with the reason behind each pick.

  • 66 qualifying stays
  • 10 mile radius

Nashville splits cleanly between Lower Broadway, where the honky-tonks are and the noise runs late, and the neighborhoods across the river or south of downtown - East Nashville, The Gulch, 12 South - where you get restaurants without the volume. It is one of the largest qualifying inventories in our dataset, which means the shortlist can be genuinely selective.

Areas covered: Downtown / Lower Broadway, The Gulch, East Nashville, 12 South, Midtown.

Selection radius: properties within 10 miles of the centre of Nashville, measured from coordinates in our source data.

66 qualifying stays reviewed. 12 made this shortlist.

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in Nashville. See how we select hotels.

66 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is Fairlane Hotel Nashville, by Oliver at 9.3, with a 9.1 guest rating from 594 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $147 to $474 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
