One of the most iconic and the only five-star hotel in Nashville, this historic property also doubles as a cherished landmark that has hosted the likes of John F. Kennedy, Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash.
An old-world blend of classical Italian and French Renaissance, the magnificent lobby boasts a painted glass skylight through which copious amounts of natural light can stream down on to the grand staircase, marble floors, columns, ornate chandeliers and luxurious fabrics. The hotel offers an on-site restaurant and bar, as well as 122 elegantly decorated rooms and suites that blend traditional sophistication with modern elegance, boasting some of the most generous and comfortable living spaces in Nashville.
Together with the Land Trust for Tennessee, The Hermitage Hotel and its guests have facilitated the conservation of more than 85,000 acres of land as part of a commitment to protect and preserve the natural environment. The property contributes a small donation from every hotel stay to the Land Trust, and is also dedicated to using ingredients that are almost exclusively cultivated on the Land Trust’s Glen Leven Garden as well as Hermitage’s own Double H Farms.
