The Hermitage Hotel

There’s no place in Nashville quite like The Hermitage. Grand, historic, and unapologetically elegant, it’s more than a luxury hotel—it’s a cultural landmark. Built in 1910 and lovingly restored, it still carries the weight and charm of its Beaux-Arts roots, from the sweeping staircase to the intricate plasterwork and marble columns. But what makes it exceptional isn’t just its storied past—it’s how seamlessly it blends tradition with modern sophistication. Rooms are rich with character and comfort, the service is discreet but impeccable, and the in-house dining—from Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s elevated Southern cuisine to afternoon tea in the Veranda—feels both indulgent and intimate. The Hermitage is Nashville’s original luxury address, and it continues to define Southern hospitality with style and grace.
