Union Station is only a few minutes' drive from the famed Bluebird Cafe, where Scarlett and Gunnar work in 'Nashville,' the hit TV show. It's tough to RSVP there, though, so why not take a stroll down Broadway instead? Some of the greatest talent in the world plays just outside the door of Union Station. Once you see its amazing lobby, though, you'll be tempted to stay and get cozy over cocktails. The service is sublime.

Experience classic Southern hospitality at the Sheraton Music City Hotel, a retreat away from the din of downtown but still close enough to experience all the major Nashville attractions.
