The Hermitage Hotel

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 have been recently upgraded and are 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. 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.
