Hotel of Many Colors - Graduate Nashville
Graduate Nashville pays homage to one of the town’s (and world’s!) most beloved treasures, the iconic Dolly Parton. Hues of pink, shabby chic décor, and vintage vibes swarm the building, making it a natural hub for bachelorette and girlfriend getaways. Whether you are a frequent road tripper to Music City or just jetting in for the weekend, the whimsical atmosphere makes it one of the trendiest and best new places to stay in Nashville, Tennessee.
Take advantage of the $40 per-night valet service with in-and-out capabilities; self-parking is limited in the area. Upon entrance, a larger-than-life portrait of Grand Ole Opry matriarch Minnie Pearl hangs above the front desk area, insinuating a signature welcoming “Howdy.” Check-in is a breeze; the staff was ready to give all the property's pertinent layout info before they handed over the fittingly themed room keys. And yes, you can take them home as a memento!
Before you drop your bags, you will want to explore the spacious lobby. It hosts nooks of Instagram-worthy backdrops for all your selfie shots and Polaroid-perfect pictures. Whether you’re into glitzy glam or simple Southern charm, you’ll appreciate the mix of inviting and luxe comfort this attractive hotel offers.
The detailed touches appear everywhere. Lavender glitter-embellished walls and golden antique-like mirrors accent the hallways as you wander to your guestroom. Room options include king, double queens, and a variety of suites. Prices are subject to demand; upgrades include parking and dining packages for an optimal visit.
Your honky-tonk haven trimmed in pink is equipped with everything you need for your Nashville trip. Standard rooms include an HD TV, refrigerator, safe, and plenty of places to stow your luggage. Need to fit in some work in between hitting all the nearby shops and attractions? No worries. The room has a glamorous workspace desk and complimentary Wi-Fi for those 9 – 5 queens. After exploring the Nashville nightlife, the comfy triple-sheeted bed adorned with a floral print curtain canopy serves as the perfect reprieve.
The expansive bathroom allows for plenty of room to get ready. Plus, the Malin + Goetz products are a nice bonus.
