The scene:

Drift Nashville has 114, 1-3 bedroom guest rooms and suites with kitchenettes, living rooms, and views of Nissan Stadium and Downtown Nashville. The property has an outdoor pool with cabanas, coffee shop, cocktail bar, pool bar, and plenty of space to gather, hang, and meet with groups of all sizes.

Built in 1966, the hotel exterior's existing clean lines, reminiscent of the time, are accentuated by white paint. A color of deep sea green/blue accents the lower portion of the building as if the structure has been dipped in paint. Lush landscaping softens the lines. The pool area is designed to feel like an oasis. When you exit the lobby's retractable floor-to-ceiling wall of windows you are on a balcony viewing the garden and pool from the above. The staircase leads you through the garden's vegetation, terra cotta, wood, brick, and concrete textures to a poolside bar that is intricately bricked to complement the three towering fireplaces on the perimeter wall. A host stand will greet you at the pool entrance where you have the option of a single or double teak lounger or opt for one of our simple but lux cabanas at the far end of the pool separated by breeze block and linen curtains for privacy. A structural iron sculpture stands above the cabanas for definition. The main feature is our uniquely shaped pool - one of Nashville's first in-ground hotel pools has ample space for relaxing.

THE SUN ROOM
From the front door of the lobby, there is a terrazzo path. If you follow it you will end up at The Sun Room.

The terrazzo bar rising from the floor has a curated selection of spirits and wines, fresh, uncomplicated cocktails, and small plates. Partnering with brands that align with our values and quality.

DAWN CAFE
We believe that less is more. That complexity is in the feelings and the depth of experience, not in an overwhelming menu or overthought recipe. And that just the right ambiance adds everything. Dawn offers a straightforward but spectacular drink menu. Think pour over coffee, espressos, cortados, and cold brew. As for food, we like to meet our customers where they are. Grab-and-go options include fresh pastries and juices

Enter the realm of boutique hotels that are so exquisitely curated they'll make your guests want to stay forever. Every detail is designed to captivate your guests and create the perfect setting for group travel, celebrations, and cherished moments with loved ones. The concept of "boutique hotels" begain in 1980 when entrepreneur and co-owner of Studio 54, Steve Rubell, compared these intimate, small-capacity and design-focused hotels to be similar to boutiques, as opposed to "department stores" or chain hotels. In 2025, we are seeing boutique hotels absolutely take over the industry and here's why: These thoughtfully designed spaces offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere that intertwine with noteworthy aesthetics, making an impressive backdrop for gatherings that exude intimacy and style. With a strong emphasis on attention to detail, each hotel provides an opportunity for hosts to craft bespoke experiences that align with their vision, from stunning decorations to culinary delights that tantalize the palate. Whether it’s bold colors that set the mood or enriching culture that informs the ambiance, boutique hotels are thoughtfully designed to match your tastes, making every celebration feel special and distinctive. From the sultry ambiance of Hotel Ulysses in Baltimore, with its inspiration drawn from the spirited nightclubs of Manila, to the chic sophistication of Château Royal in Berlin, where creativity breathes through every thoughtfully adorned corner—we have created a collection of the best boutique hotels around the world that will take your next gathering to a whole new level.
