Downtown Nashville Hotels within walking distance of the bars.

1. Cambria Nashville Downtown

Cambria Downtown Nashville Hotel has such a Southern vibe throughout with lots of country music flare at every turn. Aside from the awesome decor, this hotel is one of the more “high-tech” downtown Nashville hotels. The rooms have lots of plugs and USB ports to charge your phone and other devices. Huge 55″ TVs built for streaming and get this … Bluetooth Mirrors!

Do you feel like catching some rays by the pool? Got ya covered with the outdoor heated pool on the 5th floor with bar services. With the pool overlooking the streets of Nashville, you will always have a great view while you relax with friends and family. Or, some daytime relaxation before hitting the bars of downtown Nashville for some live music excitement.

2. Hotel Indigo Nashville

A very short walk to the party area! Walk out that door in the picture, turn right, walk to the corner, and turn right again. You can probably see the people on Broadway as soon as you turn the corner. So, just a couple of blocks until the party starts!!

Hotel Indigo is a 130-guest room hotel in the heart of downtown. Indigo is well within walking distance of the most famous bars in Nashville. Like, within a 3-minute walk.

4. Renaissance Hotel Nashville

See the “bridge” spanning across the road, that is the lobby of a restaurant. My son and I have been to the hotel, it is a very nice place and the food is pretty good as well. It is one of the longer walks to the fun of the “strip” but it is still an easy walk.

Renaissance Nashville Hotel is like the business luxury hotel of the downtown Nashville hotels. It has plush bedding, marble bathrooms, and a breathtaking view of Nashville for that upscale touch. Best of all, the most famous bars in Nashville are within a 3-minute walk.

5. Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown

The Sheraton Grand Nashville is located downtown just outside The District area. Yet, it is still close enough to be a short walk to get to the most famous bars in Nashville. If you are in town to see a big show Tennessee Performing Arts Center is close. I have seen Gabriel Iglesias there! Awesome show!!

I haven’t been in this one. I have talked with several people who have stayed at the Sheraton, they said they enjoyed their stay but would have liked to have been closer to “all the fun stuff”.

6. The Capitol Hotel

Capitol Hotel Downtown has a nice Southern charm that is within walking distance of The Historic District. Of the downtown Nashville hotels on the list, this place is probably the longest walk of them all. When you leave Broadway after a night of Honky Tonk partying, the walk back will be all uphill. Modern amenities such as a fitness room, spacious lobby, vibrant modern décor, and an in-house restaurant.

Being a frequent flyer of downtown Nashville I’ve been by this hotel several times but not in it. Tourists I’ve spoken with leave me to believe that this is one of the lesser expensive places downtown within walking distance of the bars. But, they usually followed up by wishing it was closer but it was still manageable for the price of the stay.

7. Moxy Downtown Nashville

The Moxy!!! This and Drury are the TOP downtown Nashville hotels mentioned by tourists and locals when they are downtown on “staycation”. Their little rooftop bar is awesome! I’ve eaten there and had drinks a few times and I can say that I liked it there very much! The food is great and the view over Lower Broadway is absolutely awesome!!

Located right on Honky Tonk Row, The Moxy Hotel Downtown Nashville is a few steps away from so many top attractions such as the Johnny Cash Museum, Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bridgestone Arena, and all the fun of the downtown clubs.

The Moxy is geared toward those who enjoy a fun stay instead of just “another hotel”. Many rooms have exposed brick interior walls, LED lighting under the bed, and huge 55″ TVs.

Be sure to take a few minutes to go check out Bar Moxy Coffee Shop and Lounge. It’s the social club for the Moxy guests to sit back and chill with a good latte or a cocktail of your choice. They offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a casual dress code.

8. Omni Nashville Hotel

I’ve been inside the Omni a few times, I love the decor. The view from the outer window locations is great! Out of the large windows on the side opposite Broadway, you can see the awesome mural that represents the Tennessee Titans and the 615 area code. Even if you don’t stay here you should check out the views that are offered if you explore the rooftop and other areas.

The Omni hotel is unique with its exposed steel and the use of local natural resources. For me personally, it is one of those buildings that stands out for its modern yet natural vibe.

Located in SoBro it is just a few walking minutes from “The District”, this hotel puts you very close to all the fun of Lower Broadway. If you are in no hurry to get to Broadway, you can relax at the rooftop swimming pool and lounge until the nightlife kicks in full force.

If you come out the door on the Vietnam Veterans, walk down to 4th Ave to get to Broadway you will be walking by the Walk of Fame Park where you can see the stars of many of your favorite musicians. Here is a short video of the walk to Broadway. Occasionally in that park, they have music festivals, craft beer festivals .. ya never really know what they are going to do there. Many times I’ve laid back in the grass watching live shows while drinking a good local craft beer!

Of the downtown Nashville hotels, The Omni, Drury, or Moxy would be my favorite pics. The Omni for the location of the walkable tourist attractions. Drury for location and amenities. The Moxy for the neat rooftop and just a few steps to Lower Broadway.

Omni Hotel Nashville offers a “Kids Crew” program that gives the little ones a backpack of neat stuff to do. Oh, can’t forget the cookies and milk delivered on their for the first night there.

9. Margaritaville Hotel Nashville

As many of you will know this was owned by the late Jimmy Buffet! There is this hotel and a Margaritaville restaurant on Lower Broadway.

I haven’t been inside this hotel, but like I mentioned in some of the above locations, I have talked with people who have. Everyone gives a geed review of the establishment itself. The only downside I’ve heard is the open parking lot doesn’t feel safe at night and I have read that there have been cars broken into although Incan not confirm that myself. Many of the hotels mentioned on this list have enclosed parking garages which keeps the rif raf out.

Margaritaville Hotel Nashville is in the SoBro area of downtown Nashville just 2 blocks from the “The District” where all the famous bars are located. Here is the YouTube video of the walk.

Right across the street from the hotel is a little dive bar called Bar Sovereign. It is a little dimly lit hole-in-the-wall place with a chill vibe.

10. Drury Plaza Hotel

Based upon all my research the Drury is the #1 most requested, visited, and talked about hotel that is within walking distance of all the bars in Lower Broadway. It is pretty much across the street from Ascend Amphitheater if you plan on going to a big concert while you are in. I have done this walk several times so I can tell you firsthand that it is an easy walk. Here is a YouTube video of the walk to Broadway. It isn’t the closest, that title belongs to the Moxy, but it is a safe and short walk. Oh … Martins barbecue is a short walk and it is really good!!! Of the downtown Nashville hotels this is the most recommended one in all the Facebook groups, forums, and even the locals.

For the environmentally conscious people, Drury Plaza Inn is one of the biggest fans of protecting the environment. Drury Hotels seek to be granted the LEED certification by using energy-efficient designs, low-impact construction practices, and hotel amenities that reduce landfill waste. As part of recycling plastics, they even make sure your hotel key is recycled so it doesn’t land in a landfill! Keep Nashville Beautiful by recycling when and where you can.

Aside from the great environmental practices they offer, they also have you covered with great creature comforts. From the outside, it looks just average I guess one might say.
