Music City style, minus the cliches

You might assume a Music Row hotel means cowboy hats in the lobby and last year’s country hits on loop at the front desk. Virgin Hotels Nashville breaks that assumption before you’ve even set down your bag. Entering the lobby, you’re greeted by an exploded guitar and other deconstructed music instruments suspended from the ceiling, courtesy of artist John Peralta. Whether you’re a Music City regular or a first-timer here to brave the Broadway bustle, this is a hotel built for design-minded jet-setters, local songwriters and travelers who prefer their Southern hospitality served with an effortlessly modern edge.

The rundown

The scene: With an indoor/outdoor lobby bar and restaurant, a rooftop pool club and an underground speakeasy, there are plenty of opportunities to see and be seen. Rub shoulders with touring musicians, local talent and sartorially blessed travelers who know their way around a vintage shop.

The sound: DJs spin vinyl on the 14th-floor rooftop terrace at The Pool Club as the summer sun dips below the skyline. Local and touring songwriters serenade the main-floor Commons Club most Mondays (check the events calendar for the latest updates). Late-night DJ sets go underground on Fridays at the basement speakeasy, The Late Great.

The go-to order: An Aperol spritz paired with tuna ceviche and rooftop views at The Pool Club.

The morning ritual: A sunrise stretch on your in-room yoga mat followed by a La Colombe coffee at Funny Library Coffee Shop downstairs.

The Reserve benefits at a glance

Booking Virgin Hotels Nashville through Citi Travel as part of The Reserve means eligible cardmembers can enjoy:

• A $100 Experience Credit (experience varies by property)
• Room upgrades, upon availability
• Daily breakfast for two
• Complimentary Wi-Fi

The stay

Traveling solo, bringing your other half or showing up with the whole crew — there’s a room here that works. A sliding privacy door divides each boutique chamber into two distinct areas: a sleeping lounge for actual rest and a separate dressing area so getting ready doesn’t mean waking anyone else up. And don’t forget that eligible cardholders may be able to get a complimentary room upgrade applied automatically when booking through Citi Travel.

Food and drinks

From poolside cocktails to dinner and a show, or a coffee shop that doubles as your office to a hidden speakeasy serving craft cocktails, this hotel has you covered, all while earning Citi ThankYou^® Points with every charge to your eligible Citi card.

The Commons Club

The hotel’s ground-floor restaurant and bar pairs plush velvet seating, warm brass accents and an open layout that feels like a modern private club. Play a game of pool or just enjoy the people watching.

Expect elevated, Southern-inspired regional dishes and flatbreads, seasonal cocktails, daily happy hours and live acoustic music sessions.

The Pool Club

Perched 14 floors up, this day-to-night rooftop lounge balances sun-drenched pool days with dynamic evening sunsets against panoramic skyline backdrops. Reserve your own plush cabana or sun lounger, or just go for a dip.

Expect umbrella drinks, shareable dishes, tacos and seasonal weekend brunches set to rotating DJ sets.

The Late Great

Head downstairs from the discreet alleyway entrance, and step into a darkly intimate music lounge and cocktail bar that channels the exclusive, late-night spirit of historic Music Row after-parties. And don’t miss the live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays.

Funny Library Coffee Shop

This bright, airy coffee shop and communal workspace features quirky literary decor, playful art pieces and cozy velvet armchairs.

Expect La Colombe coffee, artisanal teas and cold-pressed juices, along with fresh pastries and an assortment of breakfast and lunch options, including sandwiches and grab-and-go items.

Out and about

Step outside the lobby and the city unfolds in every direction. Don’t sleep on everything else the nearby area has to offer.

RCA Studio B

Two blocks away, this is the exact room where Elvis, Chet Atkins and the Everly Brothers made music history, and it’s still humming with their iconic echoes decades later.

The Gulch

A five-minute ride drops you into Nashville’s hippest strip of boutique shops, breweries and mural-lined streets.

12 South

Make sure to explore one of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods, with vintage shops, laid-back bars and local restaurants minus the Broadway crowds.

Wedgewood-Houston

This up-and-coming neighborhood offers art galleries, working studios and small-batch workshops, proof that Nashville’s creative scene runs well beyond guitars and honky-tonks.

Broadway

Yes, it’s touristy. It’s also unmistakably Nashville. Honky-tonks stacked shoulder to shoulder, live music spilling onto the sidewalk until the wee hours and an energy you can’t quite get anywhere else. Don’t leave town without at least popping into Robert’s Western World for a sandwich and a show.

The bottom line

Whether you spend your days chasing vintage vinyl in the neighborhood shops or lounging high above the city chatter, Virgin Hotels Nashville from The Reserve captures the creative heart of Music City without missing a beat.

Make the most of your Nashville experience by booking your stay through Citi Travel using a credit card that earns ThankYou Points you can use for even more travel.
