Restored Art Deco landmark
A 1930s showpiece hotel lives on as a downtown gathering place, filled with works by local makers and buzzing bars.
“Originally, this was the art deco–era Noel Place, an early Music City hotel in downtown. Noelle was reborn in 2017 as a 222-room boutique hotel.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Restored pink Tennessee marble meets original 1930 brass fixtures and terrazzo floors.

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Printers Alley buzzes right outside the doors, and the live music on Broadway is two blocks away.
The rooms
Geometric Art Deco patterns are carved into the wooden ceilings, and brass accents detail the hardwood bedrooms.
The gym
Large windows bring daylight past rough concrete columns to Peloton bikes and a stretching studio.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Makeready Libations & Liberation
Long communal wooden tables sit beneath industrial pendant lamps, surrounded by walls of black silhouette portraits.
Noelle, tucked inside a completely renovated 1930s building, isn’t your standard new-hotel-in-an-old-building. Rather, it doubles as an art experience.
Hidden Bar
A door marked Storage Closet opens into a dim red lounge with glowing arched bottle shelves.
At the table
The Trade Room pours whiskey beneath ornate moldings, and rooftop bar Rare Bird looks across the downtown skyline.
How it began
Brothers John and Oscar Noel opened the property in 1930, billing the tower as Nashville’s smartest hotel.
“Boasting restored terrazzo floors, original brass fixtures and pink Tennesse granite walls, the elegant hotel retains the architectural grandeur of an age past.”
