Since the Thompson’s opening last fall, it has been the talk of the town. Located in the heart of The Gulch, this 12-story, 224-room hotel offers more than just a place to catch a few hours of sleep. With a rooftop bar and restaurant (L.A. Jackson), a first-floor seafood restaurant (Marsh House) and coffee shop with a pastry counter and sandwiches (Killebrew), there are plenty of dining and drinking options. The rooms are just as expertly designed as the rest of the hotel, with creative tile and woodwork and breathtaking views making each a one-of-a-kind. The hotel offers six types of rooms, including the penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, a dining room table, custom bar, 400-thread-count linens and more.

the germantown inn | Opened: October 2016
1218 Sixth Ave. N., Nashville, TN 37208 • (615) 581-1218
The germantown inn is appropriately located in Nashville’s Germantown neighborhood. With six rooms and playful décor, it is definitely a unique boarding option for Nashville visitors. From the presidential posters and custom-made wallpaper to the Andra Eggleston curtains, every corner has a photo-worthy backdrop. We especially adore the walls of the historic home-turned-hotel, which showcase original architectural features — interior designer McLean Barbieri expertly paired the new with the old. Each suite is dedicated to a president and features a presidential portrait by Caitlin Mello. The largest room is 376 square feet, and the smallest is 255 square feet, each with charm and character all their own.
