Looking for a Nashville stay that actually feels like Nashville? These inns and B&Bs have the charm, quirks and personality to match the city.
Belle Air Mansion
Belle Air Mansion invites you into a restored 19th-century Greek Revival estate with glittering chandeliers, heart-pine floors, and 13-foot ceilings that whisper “Southern grandeur.” Guests rave about the French toast bake or quiche served at breakfast, with options like avocado toast, too, if you want lighter fare. Cozy fireplaces, elegant antiques and a sprawling garden courtyard complete the scene. It feels like old Southern elegance meets comfy hospitality, all just minutes from downtown Nashville.
Caroline House Nashville Historic Inn
Caroline House feels like slipping into a beautifully restored 1921 home where the vibe is equal parts polished and personal. Guests love the little surprises, like fresh-baked cookies in the evening, local chocolates left out to sample, or a cold bottle of bubbly waiting in the shared kitchen. The inn’s friendly resident dog, Desti, often greets arrivals, and the 12 South location means shops, murals and cafés are just a short stroll away.
Daisy Hill Bed & Breakfast
Daisy Hill Bed & Breakfast invites you into a 1925 Tudor Revival home in historic Hillsboro Village, a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places and just 25 minutes from the Belmont Mansion. You can stroll to local eateries, visit nearby Vanderbilt University, or hop over to Music Row and downtown.
The Timothy Demonbreun House
The Timothy Demonbreun House offers a refined stay inside one of Nashville’s grand historic homes. With four guest rooms, welcoming lounges, and a peaceful garden, it mixes elegant architecture with a friendly, personal feel. Guests enjoy cooked-to-order breakfasts and plenty of space to unwind. The property also hosts weddings and special events, giving it a polished, celebratory vibe. Close to downtown yet tucked into a quiet area, it is a graceful retreat with character.
The Germantown Inn
The Germantown Inn brings boutique flair to an 1865 Federal-style home in one of Nashville’s most beloved neighborhoods. Its ten suites feature Frette linens, Turkish towels, and playful design touches inspired by notable historical figures. The courtyard and common spaces feel intimate and relaxed, perfect for lingering with a drink. Step outside and you are surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants. It is stylish, personal, and rooted in the charm of old Nashville.
Urban Cowboy Nashville
Urban Cowboy Nashville is located in a restored Victorian mansion in East Nashville, and everything about it leans into creative, eclectic design. With eight uniquely crafted suites, two lively bars, and wood-fired pizza from Roberta’s in the backyard, it is a destination for travelers who like personality in their stays. The inn’s motto says you arrive as strangers and leave as friends.
NOELLE Nashville
NOELLE is a chic, art-driven boutique hotel in downtown Nashville where creativity takes center stage. Built in collaboration with local artists and artisans, the hotel’s 224 stylish rooms feel curated and cool. Grab a cocktail with skyline views at rooftop favorite Rare Bird, enjoy Mexican fusion at Lona, or sip a perfectly made latte at Drug Store Coffee. Just outside, Broadway Street delivers neon signs, honky-tonks, and legendary music history.
Butterfly Hollow Bed & Breakfast
Butterfly Hollow sits in a 1899 restored farmhouse about an hour east of Nashville, and it’s the kind of place you go when you want things to slow down a little. With just three eco-friendly guestrooms, it feels personal in the best way, and you’ll probably spot hummingbirds if you hang out on the porch long enough. There’s also a separate vacation rental and a sweet, tucked-away spot for small weddings. Trails, the Caney Fork River, and nearby lakes are all close by.
