In praise of Nashville's Noelle hotel
Vacation in style!

Each week, we spotlight a hotel recommended by some of the industry's top travel writers. This week's pick is the Noelle in Nashville.
Music City's newest boutique property oozes hometown pride, said Lizzy Alfs at The Tennessean. Housed in a grand 12-story building that was once the Noel Place hotel, the Noelle has reconnected with the building's Art Deco origins with the help of a team of local designers, architects, and artists.
Restored terrazzo floors and engraved wood ceilings adorn the common spaces, and the 224 rooms are painted in clean white and navy blue. Local creativity is also on display at the hotel's Keep Shop, where guests can buy wares crafted by Nashville artisans.
