If you’re planning the ultimate Nashville girls trip or a long weekend with your favorite friends, where you stay can make or break the experience. The right hotel gives you more than just a place to sleep, it sets the tone for your entire trip, whether that’s rooftop cocktails, spa treatments, poolside lounging, or being steps away from Nashville’s best nightlife and live music.
After years of living and working as a tour guide in Nashville, I’ve seen firsthand which hotels deliver unforgettable experiences and which ones just blend into the background. Below are my top picks for the best Nashville hotels for a girls trip, focusing on design, location, amenities, and that extra “wow” factor.
The Noelle - Chic Boutique Luxury in the Heart of Downtown Nashville
The Noelle isn’t just a hotel, it’s an experience. This art-deco boutique property sits right in the heart of downtown, steps from Broadway’s honky-tonks and within easy walking distance of the Ryman Auditorium, Printers Alley, and some of the city’s best restaurants.
Why The Noelle is Perfect for a Nashville Girls Weekend
From the moment you step into the lobby, you’re immersed in curated Nashville style. The design blends original 1930s architectural details with modern elegance—think marble floors, brass accents, and locally inspired artwork. Every corner feels Instagram-worthy, making it a dream for capturing trip memories.
The rooms are spacious and stylish, with plush bedding, curated mini-bars, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering city views. If you’re traveling with friends, booking a suite means plenty of space to get ready together before a night out.
Must-Visit Spots Inside The Noelle
Rare Bird Rooftop Bar - Perfect for golden-hour cocktails with panoramic city views.
Makeready L&L - A cozy spot for a girls’ brunch or dinner before a show.
Drug Store Coffee - Ideal for early-morning caffeine before a full day exploring.
Local Tip: If you want to pair your stay with a unique local experience, book my Downtown Nashville Food Tour and you’ll be able to walk straight from The Noelle to the starting point.
The Thompson - Trendy Nashville Style Meets Rooftop Views in The Gulch
The Thompson Nashville is where modern luxury meets Nashville’s trendiest neighborhood, The Gulch. This boutique hotel has a sleek, urban feel, with a lobby that doubles as a stylish gathering place and rooms designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, mid-century furnishings, and custom artwork.
Why The Thompson is Great for a Girls Trip
Location is everything, and from here, you’re surrounded by some of the city’s best shopping, brunch spots, and rooftop bars. You’re steps away from Biscuit Love for breakfast, Arnold’s Country Kitchen for classic Southern meat-and-three lunches, and boutique shopping at Kittenish and Uncommon James.
LA Jackson - The Gulch’s Hottest Rooftop Bar
The real showstopper here is LA Jackson, the Thompson’s rooftop bar and lounge. It’s famous for its skyline views, inventive cocktails, and weekend brunch scene. Whether you’re in the mood for frosé, champagne, or a crafted bourbon cocktail, LA Jackson is the place to see and be seen.
Local Tip: If you’re looking for a casual afternoon activity before hitting LA Jackson, hop on the Music City Brew Hop for brewery hopping, it’s a great way to mix craft beer into a girls’ trip itinerary.
The Grand Hyatt - Sophisticated NashvilleLuxury Near Broadway
For a five-star experience that’s still close to all the action, the Grand Hyatt Nashville delivers. Located on Broadway, this luxury high-rise offers spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple restaurants, a rooftop pool, and one of the best spas in the city.
Why The Grand Hyatt Works for a Girls Weekend
The Grand Hyatt offers the perfect balance between energy and relaxation. You can be on Broadway in minutes for live music and nightlife, but you can also retreat to the pool deck or spa when you need a break from the party scene.
Don’t Miss
Outdoor Elevated Pool - One of the best in the city, with skyline views and cabanas available for rent.
Lou/Na Rooftop Bar - Ideal for pre-dinner drinks with a glittering city backdrop.
R+R Wellness Spa - The place to recharge before a big night out.
Local Tip: If your group loves whiskey, pair your stay here with my guide to Where to Sip Whiskey in Nashville and book a tasting at Standard Proof or Nelson’s Green Brier.
The Bobby Hotel - Eclectic Charm with a Rooftop Twist in Downtown Nashville
The Bobby Hotel is where bold design meets Nashville’s vibrant downtown energy. This boutique property is known for its whimsical style, think eclectic art, plush velvet seating, and a rooftop lounge that feels like a private hideaway in the heart of the city. The centerpiece? A restored 1956 Scenicruiser bus parked on the roof, complete with lounge seating for unforgettable skyline views.
Why The Bobby is Great for a Nashville Girl’s Weekend
The Bobby’s prime location puts you just a short walk from Broadway, Printer’s Alley, and the city’s best live music venues. The lobby bar is a lively meet-up spot, perfect for pre-dinner cocktails before heading out for a night on the town. Rooms are spacious and stylish, making them ideal for groups who want comfort without sacrificing personality.
Rooftop Vibes & Poolside Relaxation
In the warmer months, the rooftop transforms into one of Nashville’s most sought-after hangouts, with a pool, cabanas, and weekend DJs. Whether you’re starting your night with champagne under the stars or lounging poolside during the day, the Bobby delivers the perfect mix of relaxation and energy.
Local Tip: From here, you’re just steps from our Downtown Nashville Food Tour, making it easy to kick off your girls trip with a taste of the city’s best bites.
Moxy Nashville Downtown - Playful Energy in the Heart of the Action
Moxy Nashville Downtown proves you can have a prime Broadway location without breaking the bank. This Marriott-owned hotel is colorful, quirky, and designed for social travelers. The check-in process doubles as a welcome cocktail moment—guests are greeted at the bar with a drink before heading up to their rooms.
Why Moxy Hotel is Great for a Girls Trip to Nashville
If your group wants to be in the middle of it all, Moxy’s location is unbeatable. You’re steps from the honky-tonks, party buses, and live music venues that make Nashville famous. The vibe is casual and upbeat, with a lobby that’s designed for mingling, games, and spontaneous dance parties.
Fun Meets Functional
While the rooms are compact, they’re smartly designed with thoughtful storage and playful décor. You’ll likely spend more time in the bustling common spaces than your room—which is exactly the point. Moxy’s late-night snacks, all-day coffee, and communal tables make it easy to rally the crew for the next adventure.
Local Tip: Pair your stay with a ride on the Honky Tonk Express Party Bus for a Broadway experience you’ll never forget.
Virgin Hotels Nashville - Chic Comfort with a Legendary Rooftop Scene
