The Hermitage Hotel
231 Sixth Avenue North
Nashville, TN, USA
Style: Contemporary Classic
Atmosphere: Lively
123 Rooms
Text size:
When the Hermitage Hotel opened in the heart of downtown Nashville in 1910, its rooms were billed at “$2 and up,” a statement which is technically still true today, at least the “up” part. Back then, two dollars is what you could expect to pay for the finest of hotels, at least in this town, admittedly a bit cheaper than New York or Chicago.
The figures may have changed but the Hermitage is still the place with the Italian marble entryway, the stained glass ceiling in the lobby, and the Russian walnut paneling — and it's still the most prestigious place to stay in Nashville, just as it was in the days of William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson, not to mention such characters as billiards legend Minnesota Fats and local Democratic strongman Edward “Boss” Crump.
And although 96 years of inflation have seen the room rate increase by a factor of 100, it's still well worth it — these rooms, all newly renovated, average 475 square feet, and feature such conveniences as 24-hour room service and complimentary high-speed internet connections. The Hermitage also boasts the grandest conference and meeting facilities in the city, and the excellent Capitol Grille, serving traditional American fine dining in a charming and historical setting.
Every American city should have a place like this, as an alternative to the drab and lifeless airport hotels and those dreadful in-between places, not quite a boutique, yet not a luxury hotel either. The Hermitage is luxury all the way, going so far as to offer etiquette classes, afternoon tea in the lobby, and a dog walking service. Add to that an authentic sense of history, and you have a hotel with true personality — not bad for $2 and up.

I Liked
I love old-man hotels, and the Hermitage did not disappoint, from the decor to the service to the Art Deco men's room (women can visit, too). Service was impeccable - I'm indebted to concierge David. The rooms are comfortable and classic (nothing chic). The bar was quite fun, too... It's like a mini-Ritz, but with a more personal feel. Clearly the Hermitage is not part of a chain. If you like boutique hotels, skip it. If you like solid service and comfort, it's great.
What the hotel could do better
The only bummer was that by the time I got downstairs in the morning, the water for tea was lukewarm and they were out of Harney & Sons Earl Grey tea bags. Cry me a river!

I Liked
The Hermitage makes you realize how accustomed you have become to not getting exceptional service (from other hotels). The staff ensure that the little details are taken care of promptly and expertly. This is what luxury hotels used to be like.
The room was expansive and well appointed. The bathroom was great.
What the hotel could do better
The decor is a little old fashioned for my taste, but it suits the brand well.

These reviews are posted exclusively by verified guests whose stays were booked through TabletHotels.com. We do encourage our clients to express their opinions, and what makes a hotel experience great is often something subjective, a matter of personal taste. At the same time, many of the hotels we list are extreme in one dimension or another, and are bound to disappoint somebody somewhere. These reviews are an excellent way to identify a hotel's particular quirks, and thereby avoid a poor hotel-guest match. But remember: if a hotel's overall customer rating falls lower than 15 out of 20, the hotel will be removed from our listings.
The opinions expressed in these reviews are solely those of our clients; the opinions expressed in any hotel management responses are solely those of the hotels themselves. We do not endorse any of the opinions expressed within the reviews, and we are not affiliated with any of the hotels in question. We reserve the right to remove any of the review or management response at our discretion.
