The Look of Virgin Hotels Nashville
If you’re looking for a hotel that steeps itself in the culture of the city, this is it: Virgin Hotels Nashville is known for its incredible lobby where deconstructed musical instruments hang over the reception desk as a sort of art installation and nod to the Nashville music scene.
The hotel also features the Commons Club, a social club and restaurant where moody table settings and velveteen chairs wrap around the restaurant for a chic look, and The Late Great cocktail bar, which feels and looks more like a speakeasy than a hotel bar. With dark woods, a mirrored bar-back, and vintage photos on the walls, this is a spot you’re going to want to go to after a day exploring the city.
Each of the hotel’s 262 guest rooms, called chambers, feature warm textiles and plenty of natural light thanks to massive windows. Rooms range from 291 to 592 square feet, with a dressing room that features a vanity, two closets, an extra-large shower, and a lounge. Here, you'll find Virgin’s patented bed, a red SMEG mini-fridge, a TV, and a yoga mat. Chambers also feature custom lighting and sensors that automatically turn on when you move around.
