The Nash, Nashville
The Nash is a stylish boutique hotel located in the heart of downtown Nashville, right next to the historic Printer’s Alley. Formerly known as the Bobby Hotel, it recently rebranded to better reflect its deep connection to Music City’s creative spirit. It stands as a vibrant hub for travelers looking to soak in the local rhythm.
One of the hotel’s most playful and iconic features is a retro 1967 Greyhound bus perched right on the rooftop. This unique installation serves as a lounge, offering guests a quirky spot to grab a drink while enjoying panoramic views of the Nashville skyline. It perfectly captures the hotel’s adventurous and art-centric design philosophy.
Inside, the property offers 144 thoughtfully appointed rooms and suites that lean into bold, eclectic décor. From dark, moody color palettes to travel-inspired motifs, the design is curated to feel both luxurious and effortlessly welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you might find a record player in your suite, keeping the city’s musical heritage front and center.
The location is ideal for anyone wanting to explore the city’s major attractions. You are just steps away from the famous honky-tonks of Broadway and the historic Ryman Auditorium. Whether you are heading to the Country Music Hall of Fame or just exploring the vibrant Arts District, everything that defines Nashville is right at your doorstep.
Expert reviews
“The Nash Hotel, a boutique hotel newly opened in the heart of downtown, offers rooms designed around pieces found in cities around Europe, 24-hour room service, a fitness center, a rooftop bar and an original kind of branding: “Bobby” is the spirit of a traveler who brings back treasures from faraway lands.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Nashville.
“The Nash is a buzzy, high-energy hotel – as evidenced by the fact that there are three bars for its 144 guest rooms – in the heart of downtown Nashville. A narrative story about who the fictional ‘Bobby’ is weaves personality into even the most pedestrian details.”

Great location, friendly staff, lovely room and ambience
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We really liked our room and the coffee delivery in the morning was a nice touch. The lobby and outside area of cafe for breakfast were also lovely and the rooftop bar had a great vibe. The location is great - walking distance to broadway but less busy/noisy. There is a lovely restaurant next door (Sinatra) and a great little live music venue (Bourbon St Blues bar). We will definitely stay here again.
It’s not cheap! 😊 but probably in line with other nice hotels near Broadway.

The staff displayed southern hospitality throughout our stay!
Upon very early arrival, I did not expect the hotel to have two rooms cleaned; however, they were both ready for us. There was a problem with my room safe then within minutes of reporting it, a maintenance person appeared and instantly solved the problem. From the front door employees, to the frontdesk employees, to the cafe and pool employees everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. I enjoyed the interesting artwork displayed throughout the hotel as well as having a drink and appetizer on the rooftop. The pool area was sparkling clean with ample towels. It was disappointing that the size of the pool on the website appeared to be much larger for swimming rather than a dunking pool. Whoever designed the rooms thought of everything from the lights and suede bumpers on the bed so you don't injury yourself to the clever way the trash can was built-in to the cabinet to the large shower that never dripped onto the floor. Likewise, I appreciated the variety of food and drinks in the minibar. The Bobby Hotel aims to please their guests!
We had a view of a parking garage so we never opened our curtains.
I did not like the mandatory $25.00 experience fee plus tax per day. Since I do not drink coffee, I did not utilize the drop-off service. Why was the drink voucher for beer or a mocktail and not wine? When I wanted to utilize the drink voucher the cafe was closed and the pool would not honor the coupon.

A beautiful comfortable place to stay.
Clean, very polite staff. Beautiful hotel. Close to many restaurants/ bars. Easy walk to Nissan Stadium.
The food lacks flavor. The burger was just ok and the pork belly sliders had no real flavor. The breakfast potatoes aren’t cooked long enough.

The best birthday trip ever!
The location!!! The staff was great the valet guy was extremely helpful- it was very clean- my favorite part was the rooftop!! ❤️❤️❤️
No microwave in the room and they put too much stuff in the fridge for you to buy there is no room left for personal things!

Wonderful front staff like rooftop could use clean up on astroturf. Prefer adult only pool.
Location, front office, guitar in lobby
Joseph at coffee bar on/ off attitude lesson to smile, accommodating likely necessary

21st birthday to remember
Everything about the Bobby Hotel was exceptional! They even went above and beyond for my daughter's birthday, going as far as telling her happy birthday- for those who knew. The room, staff, and all the amenities were amazing.

Lovely! Looking forward to returning
Excellent stay. Beautiful and unique space. Loved the rooftop bar
Arrived early and was able to check in early
Was soo convenient to everything
Coffee shop in lounge -- drinks were delicious
Not a big deal-- but couldn't figure out complimentary coffee--put sign out but didn't get it

Great location, unique hotel
Loved the room size, the closet and drawer space, the lighting, the bathroom and decor in general. Happy that request for a higher floor was not a problem. While there wasn't time to use the gym, glad it was there, as well as the rooftop bar and decor. Valet parking, while $60 per day, was convenient and fast.
No in room coffee makers, fully stocked fridge was nice for when we wanted drinks, but hard to fit anything else in! In-room coffee delivery was nice, but hard to decide the night before what time you'll want coffee! Lobby coffee free after 7am would have been nice.

We will be staying here again
Location, cleanliness, and top notch service
Was not to happy about housekeeping knocking on the door at 9:15 am.

If In Nashville Stop By The Bobby
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bobby Hotel. It was close to many of the attractions we were interested in visiting. The staff was unbelievably kind and helpful. Our bed was comfortable and our room was clean! The decor was very cool. We loved the art show on display on the second floor and all the art located around the hotel. We enjoyed a drink on the rooftop which was aglow with holiday displays.

Great location and a trendy hotel
Excellent location with trendy, fun atmosphere in and around the hotel. The restaurant and food options were good in the hotel. Excellent café with properly made caffeinated products.
My room was filled with loud noise from the alley next to it. Couldn’t escape the loud noises from the evening. Room was dark, even with the curtain open.

Brilliant hotel and Location for everything
A terrific location for the Broadway that's only 5 mins walk , to the Music and bars . We got given an upgrade into a lovely suite and thanks to the hotel for this
. The Receptionist sent us on a walk indicated on the map to the wrong Broadway which was slightly annoying..

Would stay again! Great location and staff very lovely!

Wish we had a coffee in the room!

I can't wait to go back!!
Absolutely everything! The location was great! service was great! It was clean and inviting and so amazing. We loved the style of the room and the hotel in general , so much decor to look at and take in.
There was great food near by- recommend the pizza place around the corner on the street to the right!
Walking distance to main strip to include the stadium - we came for a concert.
I wasn't impressed with the coffee at the coffee bar, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it.

Had a fabulous time and would stay there again.
Beautiful rooms and public areas. Great location. Lovely pool area and roof terrace.
Very loud music all day at the pool. Spoilt what should have been a chilled vibe

Fantastic treat to stay here for a central Nashville visit.
The roof top pool was a great place to relax in the afternoon. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the hotel was perfect location.
Sadly they were in between dogs so we didn’t get to meet their rescue for that month. This is not a genuine complaint!! Absolutely love the initiative and that they put the dog and its comfort/training first ;)

Over the Top from the time we walked in until the time the valet brought my car around.
From the minute, we walked in the hotel was fantastic. The lobby area was very warm, welcoming, and cozy. The rooftop with the bus was off the wall. The bar was very good, but what I liked most I think was the small pool and the cozy sitting area with the ease of getting a chair and not in an oversized full-size pool I would certainly stay there again on my next Nashville trip.
I don’t have anything to say about anything I did not like about my stay at the hotel. Everything was perfect.

Overpriced but cool aesthetic and great location.
-Great location, not noisy
-Cool aesthetic/vibe
-Comfortable bed!
-I slept better at this hotel then any other because the room was actually almost completely dark at night with the blackout curtains/not many electronics lit up (weird flex I guess, but as someone who has great trouble sleeping with any light I would absolutely stay here again because of this)
-Friendly staff
-Lots of snack/drink options in room (of course for a little extra but not terrible)
-Toilet lid slipped to the left every time I sat on it (cheap/annoying)
-Cheap toilet paper and the roll kept falling off into the trash can because of the weird holder
-No view
-Overall I definitely liked the hotel, it’s just overpriced (like everything these days)

Beautiful hotel with great vibe in excellent location! Initial room not the greatest impression but relocated by Donny a
Hotel had a great vibe. The lobby smells fantastic which helps set the tone for your stay. Lobby dog was a nice addition. Bed super comfortable. Room was quiet with a great balcony. Location excellent. Short walk to Broadway and many restaurants . Valet very quick in bringing car around and helpful with baggage. The pool was small but had ample seating and a nice view of the city.
Room wasn’t very clean the first day we checked in. Mold behind bathroom sink, cigarette butts on balcony, dust in corners, and a broken chair on the balcony. The young man at the front desk not super accommodating due to the fact our room was booked with booking.com we would not be able to upgrade. The second day Donny at the front desk quickly relocated us to a new room and the rest of our stay was fantastic. Donny went out of his way to help make it a great stay for us and that was greatly appreciated! He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! Night staff at the desk seemed reluctant to bring extra blanket and pillows. Were told there were none available and they later were brought to the room. No high ball glasses only wine glasses provided in the room which seems strange when the minibar contains various types of liquor. Called downstairs and again were told there were none available.

People are rude and can ruin any great get away.
Location, modern amenities, kind staff
The couple next to us loudly fought their entire visit and we heard every word. They left piles of food and trash in our hallway. Not the hotels fault but it leaves a bad taste on the experience.

Our first trip to BOBBY Nashville
The hotel was lovely inside. The gym was clean and well equipped. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The food in the UNION BAR was very good, the flavours were excellent. The portions were American sized. Our waiter (Kevin) was great he made us feel valued and special. He acknowledged our 25th wedding anniversary with a couple of complimentary glasses of prosecco. A nice touch to the end of our meal. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
However, the bed sheets in our room were a little worn out and looked grey and old. Not as white as they should have been. The spare pillow and blanket in the cupboard were stained and dirty with sweat.
The iron was faulty and dangerous. The retractable cord did not retract. Even though this was reported, the replacement wasn't much better. Finally, on one day of our 3 days' stay, the 2 bottles of water weren't replenished.
