Staycation? Consider Nashville’s three Michelin Key-ranked hotels

Michelin Guide released its second iteration of “best hotels” across the US, and not only did seven Tennessee spots make the list, three of them are located right here in Nashville.

There’s plenty of room(s) at the top. The Michelin Guide revealed seven Tennessee hotels on its second-ever list of one, two, and three-key hotels across the US.

The ranking system is as follows:

  • One key | “A very special stay”
  • Two keys | “An exceptional stay”
  • Three keys | “An extraordinary stay”

Of the seven Tennessee hotels, three of them are located right here in Nashville. The Hermitage Hotel was the only Music City hotel to receive two keys, with the publication saying it “boasts the grandest conference and meeting facilities in the city.” Features like etiquette classes, afternoon tea in the lobby, and the dog walking service were also highlighted.

1 Hotel Nashville and Soho House Nashville rounded out the city’s shoutouts, each with one key. Of note, 1 Hotel’s “stylish in a laid-back way” rooms and suites + Soho House’s historic property with its “inimitable style.”
