Nashville Municipal Auditorium Hotels & Accommodation

Nashville is a popular tourist destination and so while there is a full spectrum of accommodation to choose from, it is often on the pricier side. Fortunately, there are more affordable options within the city centre.

📍 Where To Stay

Full of live music venues, restaurants, music museums, and more, both Downtown and SoBro (South Broadway) will give first-time visitors an excellent introduction to Nashville and its honky tonk scene.

However, the city’s best nightlife is undoubtedly in Midtown, the sizzling student neighbourhood. While it definitely pays hommage to the city’s country routes, its restaurants, bars, and clubs are suited all music tastes.

Sandwiched between Downtown and midtown is The Gulch, and while it doesn’t sound too appealing, this hip hub is by far the coolest part of town. Leaning into its industrial edge, the trendy neighbourhood boasts upscale hotels, restaurants, and boutiques.

Alternatively, opt for East Nashville on the north bank of the Cumberland River to experience the city’s bohemian side. It’s a lot less polished than The Gulch, but much more affordable, and filled with chef-owned eateries, vintage shops, and indie boutiques.

Families might prefer to stay in Music Valley (home of the Grand Ole Oprey) near the the of the city. While there is plenty to do for all ages in this honky tonk town, it is a little more relaxed than the buzzing city centre.

Nashville is a big city without a good public transportation system, and so the best way to explore will be by taxi or car.
