The Hermitage Hotel

The Hermitage Hotel is Tennessee’s only 5-diamond, 5-star property, and guests definitely feel the historic grandeur immediately upon entering the hotel. Brightly lit with seating options galore, the lobby is spacious, welcome and luxurious. Thankfully, check-in via the friendly front desk attendants was quick and I was on my way in no time.

The pet-friendly hotel is an icon in the city of Nashville, with a history dating to 1908. There was not much left to be desired from my deluxe guestroom at The Hermitage Hotel. For my three-night, four-day stay, I had everything I needed, and then some, including a pillow menu and an on-call bath concierge, if desired. The room opened into a small foyer with a spacious closet to the left. The bathroom, straight ahead, was large, with a double sink/vanity, a separate shower, a deep soaking tub and a separate water closet. The Molten Brown amenities included a scented candle.

In the bedroom area, my comfortable king-sized bed was flanked by two nightstands with lamps. To the left of the bed was a desk, and at the foot of the bed, a bench. The room also boasted a small table and chairs, giving the feel of a suite with separate living and sleeping areas in the standard guestroom. Nightly turndown service included water, cookies and sweets.

Complimentary coffee and tea is available each morning in the lower-level Capitol Grille. I had early mornings each day of my Nashville stay and the to-go coffee station was much appreciated. Capitol Grille remains a place to dine and be seen in Nashville, and the cream of onion soup is a must.

Other amenities include valet parking, laundry services, on-site shoe-shining services, Rachel’s Boutique gift shop, a business center, a fitness center and spa and meeting and event space.

With a perfect location walkable to the heart of downtown Nashville, The Hermitage Hotel was the perfect base for my visit, and its history was a definite bonus.
