The Hermitage Hotel
Tennessee
The Hermitage Hotel has been part of Nashville’s civic and social life since 1910. Its downtown address near the Tennessee State Capitol gives the stay a historical setting, with grand public rooms that reflect the ambitions of the city when the hotel first opened. Guest accommodation ranges from deluxe rooms to larger suites, with selected rooms looking towards the Capitol and the hills beyond. The hotel’s decorative details reward a closer look, including its distinctive green-and-black Art Deco men’s room. Dining is shaped by Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s programme, with Drusie & Darr as the main restaurant and The Pink Hermit providing a café setting. Afternoon tea adds another reason to spend time in the hotel between outings. The Hermitage appeals to travellers who value a sense of continuity as well as a central base. Its history, dining and proximity to Nashville’s landmarks make the building itself part of the visit, especially for guests who enjoy giving an established city hotel time to reveal its character.
