Nashville
isn’t known as Music City for
nothing. It’s roll-call of maverick musical residents features the
likes of Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain. It is, indeed,
the birthplace of Miley Cyrus. But if stage lights and intimate
gigs aren’t your scene, this southeastern state has much more to
offer. From botanical gardens and historic mansions to a booming
food-truck scene, SUITCASE has found all the places that hit the
right notes.

Music City Loft
Nashville, United States
Hidden behind the doors of what was in 1886 the Ambrose Printing Company building are several sleek and stylish lofts available for hire, each with hardwood floors, sky-high windows and soaring ceilings. It’s a home from home and well within walking distance of many Nashville hotspots, such as the Ryman Auditorium and the HG Hill Urban Market.

Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park
Nashville, United States
Jellystone Park is a camping ground just outside of the city. There’s a pool for when you need to cool off from the muggy Southern heat and easy access into downtown Nashville for when you’re ready to explore the city. You can stay in a selection of cosy cabins or do it super cheaply and bring your own tent.
hotel
The Urban Cowboy
Nashville, United States
The Urban Cowboy is set within a historic Victorian mansion in east Nashville. Each of the eight suites is equipped with a luxurious clawfoot tub and its own individual theme; choose between traditional Victorian, the regal Captain and the sultry Midnight Rider, to name but a few. With the offer of in-room spa services, a bar built into the former barn, and plenty of surrounding farm-to-table restaurants, you’d be hard-pressed to find somewhere promising greater comfort, convenience and originality.
