Top-rated hotels in Nashville
A shortlist of Nashville's top-rated hotels, chosen for their guest scores of 4.5 and above out of 5. It is for travellers deciding where to sleep in Music City, whether they want honky-tonks on the doorstep or a quieter base a short ride from the centre.

The shortlisted hotels cluster in the centre of town, on 6th Avenue North, Demonbreun Street, 8th Avenue South, Broadway, Union Street, Rep John Lewis Way South, 4th Avenue North, 11th Avenue South and West End Avenue, all within 0.2 to 2.2 km of the centre; one resort, Gaylord Opryland, sits 9.8 km out at Opryland Drive. The downtown group suits short breaks and music fans who want to walk to the major attractions, while the West End Avenue addresses give couples and business travellers a calmer setting 1.4 to 2.2 km from the centre.
