Homewood Suites by Hilton Nashville Vanderbilt, TN

This hotel opened in late October 2013 with a highly anticipated launch in one of the area's most thriving areas. Dozens of shops, eateries and business destinations are within blocks and access to downtown attractions are just minutes away. Because it's brand new, expect super-clean rooms and touches of technology only offered in recent construction. Savvy travelers are already snapping up dates in advance, but locals are more excited about the opening of the new F Scott's (one of Nashville's most followed and supported chef-driven restaurants), which will be nestled among other retail on the street level. If you want true entertainment, their nightly live jazz in the bar is an excellent choice. If you want to unwind with a bit of exercise, the indoor pool and fitness center are always available.
