Hotel Thompson Nashville, TN
I stayed at the Thompson Hotel for a quick two nights when I swept through town solo to meet up with friends for the Old Dominion concert at the Ryman Auditorium. It was actually my first time staying in the Gulch, we usually stay right downtown because it just seems like the obvious choice for convenient access to all the things we love to do on and around Broadway. However, this hotel’s cool factor definitely won me over, and it’s just a short Uber ride to Broadway.
Located in the Gulch neighborhood of downtown Nashville, TN, the Thompson provides luxury hotel guest rooms and suites to bring the spirit of the city to life. Thompson Nashville makes a bold boutique statement in Music City.
The rooms are urban and rustic, with a sliding barn door, a subway-tiled bathroom, floor-to-ceiling windows (gah!) that overlook the neighborhood or city, and a Marshall bluetooth speaker for streaming my favorite Old Dominion song.
In short, the decor is just uber cool. My favorite feature was the tile work in the spa-like restroom…and, that tub right thrrr is the star of the show.
Of the hotel’s three stellar dining spots, the signature restaurant is Marsh House, which is the creation of celebrity chef and James Beard Award-winner John Besh and serves his takes on seafood and southern classics.
At the panoramic rooftop bar L.A. Jackson, you can taste Southern brews and fine wines from small-batch producers. I missed the sunset view from this hip bar, I’m ready to head back and check it out!
Where my coffee people at?! Stop in to Killebrew, with java by Alabama export Revelator Coffee Company, plus a pastry counter and menu of morning breakfast and afternoon grab-and-go sandwiches. The biscuit breakfast sandwich is just what the doctor ordered if you happen to stay out a little too late in the honky tonks, trust me on this.
