Union Station Hotel Nashville, Autograph Collection

This restored 1900s railway station has been renovated into a 125-room boutique hotel. While guests can stay in the height of luxury in rooms decked out with pillow-top mattresses, triple sheets, walk-in showers, garden tubs, and marble bathrooms, many visitors find themselves wanting to spend hours in the lobby. The 65-foot stained glass barrel-vaulted ceiling, second-floor balcony, fireplaces, and cozy seating are reminiscent of an old railway station. Grab a glass of wine at the hotel bar, and enjoy the luxurious surroundings. If you slip out of the hotel's side door, you'll find yourself just blocks away from the Frist Art Museum, local dining at Cummins Station, honky tonk bars on Lower Broadway, and other Nashville attractions. This locally-owned hotel is now a part of the Marriot group--a bonus for frequent travelers who want to earn points and other perks while enjoying a luxurious stay in Nashville.
