BACKGROUND This hotel opened in 2016 in a newly constructed, glass-fronted building, located in an almost completely new-build development area. Since 2018, Thompson Hotels has been one of the luxury brands in the Hyatt portfolio.
WHERE IS IT? Close to the centre of Nashville in The Gulch neighbourhood (it gets its name from being slightly lower than the surrounding area). It is located at the intersection of 11th and 12th Avenue South.
WHAT'S IT LIKE? The interiors created by Parts and Labor Design are lovely, with a slightly 1970s feel to them. There are tall bookshelves with a geometric design holding both books and vinyl along with a vintage turntable, while an eclectic collection of chairs and comfortable velvet-covered sofas encourage lingering. More modern design is not forgotten, with features such as a cool mint green onyx check-in desk and, set in the floor of reception, a large wooden compass rose made from locally-salvaged wood. Crafted by Patrick Hayes of the 1767 Creative Collection, it includes the hotel's geographical coordinates in brass (N36 degrees, W86 degrees).
Our room wasn't ready at 3pm so we dropped our bags, walked round the corner to consider buying some cowboy boots at the Lucchese store, and got a text five minutes later saying our room was ready.
