The house
HyattRestored Art Deco tower
The 1929 tower brings Roaring Twenties character to downtown Nashville, with live music in the lobby and a rooftop pool above.
“The property is now part of the Hyatt brand, but thanks to the restoration of the 1929 building, it doesn’t look like any Hyatt you’ve been in before.”

Also in AFAR.
It’s still decked out in the ornaments of yesteryear — neon marquee, octagonal windows and sconces, open staircases — but with a contemporary accent courtesy of Stonehill Taylor in New York.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Broadway's neon honky-tonks sit one block away, and the historic Ryman Auditorium is just around the corner.
The rooms
Rooms pair leather and velvet accents with big windows overlooking downtown. Sliding barn doors lead into oversized bathrooms.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged sun loungers sit inside the 12th-floor pool, which looks out over the downtown Nashville skyline.
The gym
Factory-style windows bring natural light into the 24-hour fitness center, set with free weights and cardio equipment.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Bar TENN pours Tennessee whiskey under coffered lobby ceilings, and Heirloom serves cocktails from the open-air rooftop.
the Holston House is an eye-catching meticulously restored 1920s Art Deco boutique property that comes with a side of modern country flourishes like sliding barn doors.
How it began
The 1929 tower spent decades as wartime housing and downtown apartments before returning to hospitality in 2018.
