Hutton Hotel

The exterior of this Midtown lodging won’t win any design awards—the building previously housed an insurance company—but that’s what makes the art-filled, wood-accented lobby such a pleasant surprise upon arrival. With its plush leather sofas and moody interiors, the Hutton exudes down-home charm with a modern touch: A friendly sit-down check-in coupled with swift service at the lobby’s WestEnd Kitchen & Bar make the hotel a favorite of touring musicians and visiting celebrities. Oversize guest rooms (some of Nashville’s largest) feature soft blue and gray tones, fabric-covered walls, and vibrant artwork. At the 5,000-square-foot on-site music venue Analog, you can sip creative cocktails while listening to some of the city’s top performers, but if you’d like to see the view from the other side of the microphone, the hotel’s Writers Studios is stocked with state-of-the-art equipment for laying down your own tracks.

Sitting between Vanderbilt University and downtown, this hotel has a sleek yet warm vibe that draws tourists for the stay and locals for the popular happy hour (try the burger) and stellar restaurant 1808 Grille led by Chef Charles Phillips. The menu draws from a myriad of international cuisines, using seasonal produce but keeping its Southern roots at heart.

There are so many historical homes in Franklin. I love to explore and find some of the older homes in the area. Many have been converted into Inns or Bed & Breakfasts.
