Nashville visitors have plenty of opinions when it comes to where to stay downtown. After polling the Nashville To Do community, a clear list of crowd favorites rose to the top. These are the hotels that keep coming up again and again, and for good reason.
Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown
If there is one hotel that dominates every Nashville conversation, it is the Drury Plaza. Visitors rave about its walkability to Broadway, its cleanliness, and its staff. But the real reason it keeps winning? The free kickback hour and breakfast buffet. You get food and drinks included with your stay, which is a rare perk for a downtown hotel at this price point. It sits just far enough from the noise of Broadway to give you a good night's sleep. That is a harder find than you might think.

The Moxy Nashville Downtown
The Moxy is one of the most talked-about hotels on the strip, and the location is a big part of why. It sits directly behind Kid Rock's bar, across from the Johnny Cash Museum and the Sun Diner. You can literally look out at Broadway from your room. The lobby has ice, water, and coffee available, and rooms come with a mini fridge. Heads up, though: the Moxy is not cheap. If you are only in your room to sleep, it might be worth checking rates carefully before booking.

Margaritaville is more than just a fun name. Visitors call it clean, convenient, and genuinely fun to stay in. The hotel has its own bars, including a rooftop bar with great views, and there is often live music right inside the building. The staff gets consistent praise for being friendly and helpful. It is walkable to everything downtown, and the vibe inside the hotel is a good warmup for the night ahead.

The Hyatt Place checks the two boxes most Nashville visitors care about: location and walkability.

It is a clean, reliable option that offers more of a traditional hotel experience without a lot of fuss.

Tempo by Hilton Nashville
The Tempo by Hilton has been turning heads lately. Visitors describe it as gorgeous and modern, giving it straight tens across the board for design and feel. The location is strong, the price is competitive for what you get, and travel agents who book clients into Nashville regularly keep coming back to it. If you want something that feels fresh and current, this one is worth a look.

Holston House Nashville
The Holston House offers something that is genuinely hard to find downtown: a great location that still feels removed from the loudest stretch of Broadway. Visitors like that they can walk to everything but still get a quiet room at the end of the night. It is a boutique-style property that appeals to travelers who want character over cookie-cutter.

Omni Nashville Hotel
The Omni earns its spot on this list partly because of one major perk: it is physically connected to the Country Music Hall of Fame. If that is on your itinerary, you are already steps away. Visitors describe it as clean, safe, and centrally located, making it an especially easy pick for first-time Nashville visitors who want a well-known name in a walkable spot.

Cambria Hotel Nashville Downtown
The Cambria does not get as much attention as some of the bigger names, but visitors who have stayed there are enthusiastic. The beds get high marks, the downstairs breakfast is good, and valet parking is available, which is worth noting given how tricky parking can get downtown. It sits about two blocks from Broadway, so you are never far from the action.

Hyatt Centric Nashville
The Hyatt Centric might have the best walkability score on this list. Guests point out that you can walk to Broadway, the Ryman, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Listening Room all from the same spot. The rooms are modern and well-kept, and the overall feel is upscale without being stuffy. It is a strong pick if location is your top priority.
