21c Museum Hotel
221 2nd Ave N., Nashville, TN 37201
Overview
This Nashville boutique hotel is located in the historic Gray and Dudley Building, which dates back to 1900. The property is, of course, a hotel, but it’s also a public contemporary art museum, restaurant, and bar, which has completely integrated itself into the heart and soul of downtown Nashville.
21c has more than 10,500 sq. ft. of exhibition space, making it one of the largest multi-venue contemporary art museums in the U.S. These curated works of art reflect the global nature of these modern times; some invoke joy, others encourage personal reflection, and some are quite haunting in nature. Regardless of theme, a stroll through the exhibits is both fascinating and relaxing. The exhibitions rotate, so there’s always something new. Best of all, they are free and open to the general public 365 days a year. If you’re able, take one of the guided docent tours offered every Tuesday and Thursday for a deeper appreciation of the works.
Each of the 124 guest rooms and suites features hardwood floors and high ceilings, contemporary furnishings, large windows, and elegant floor-to-ceiling drapery. The bedding and linens are exquisite and you’ll find thoughtful touches such as plush bathrobes and luxury bath products.
Guests rave about the on-site restaurant, Gray and Dudley. The menu is inventive and eclectic and uses only the finest ingredients with a focus on locally-sourced seasonal ingredients. If you’re not up for a full meal, head to the bar for a cocktail or a glass of wine.
The on-site 21c Museum Hotel spa is located on the third floor and offers a variety of luxurious massages; whether you’re an athlete, a mama-to-be, or just want to relax and unwind. You can even choose to have an in-room massage, a luxury unavailable at most Nashville day spas.
