How Far is the Gulch from Downtown Nashville?

It is not a very far walk at all! Taking the easiest route, simply walk up 11th street until you get to Broadway. Turn right and walk until you see all the action! It is about a 10-minute walk depending on how fast you walk, how much you sightsee along the way, or how much you have pre-gamed before you took off.

Oh, just so you know, heading to Lower Broadway is a partial uphill walk. Not like San Francisco uphill, but uphill nonetheless. So ladies you may wanna wear something comfortable and cute. I’ve seen many ladies carrying their high heels around wishing they had worn something more comfortable.

Thompson Nashville

Thompson Hotel in The Gulch Nashville

The Gulch Nashville Hotels are most of the higher-end variety, the Thompson is no exception. This luxury boutique hotel has lots of great amenities such as a fitness room in-house bar/lounge, blackout curtains, minibar, and patio. But get this .. they even offer babysitting if you elect for this option. Personally, I just couldn’t leave my kids with strangers.

They are also pet friendly, have cable TV, no-smoking rooms, free internet, and a nice patio. You can’t forget that awesome view of Nashville.
