The Hermitage Hotel

Frommer's Review

This historic downtown hotel, built in 1910 in the classic Beaux Arts style, is Nashville's grand hotel. Still fresh from an $18-million restoration, this is the city's top choice if you crave both space and elegance. The lobby, with its marble columns, gilded plasterwork, and stained-glass ceiling, is the most magnificent in the city. Afternoon tea is served here Thursday through Saturday. Guest rooms (all of which are suites) are recently upgraded, spacious, and comfortable, with down-filled duvets and pillows on the beds. All rooms feature large windows and marble-floored bathrooms with double vanities. Ask the staff to draw you a warm bath with a sprinkling of rose petals. North-side rooms have good views of the capitol.

Down in the lower level you'll find the Capitol Grille, which, with its vaulted ceiling, has the feel of a wine cellar. Also in the basement is a dark and woody lounge with an ornate plasterwork ceiling. Every floor has rooms for those with limited mobility.

Facilities:
Restaurant and lounge; 24-hr. concierge and room service; massage; babysitting; dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility
