Nashville is experiencing a surge in luxury hotel openings as the country’s music capital tends to experience worldwide exposure as a cultural epicenter for food and art. Since the hotel started in June 2022, Conrad Nashville has made its name as one of the favorite music city’s hotels, situated right at the prime location, Broadway and West End Avenue, and a mile across from Music Row, putting you at the center of the action.

Designing the Conrad Nashville

Hilton’s Nashville Midtown hotel encloses 13 floors, 234 guest rooms, and suites with mesmerizing views, designed uniquely with bold styles by Champalimaud Design. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the neighborhood, all the rooms are outfitted with soft Italian linens, marbled bathrooms with double vanities, rain showers, Byredo amenities, and ample wardrobes. With a U-shaped driveway, the Nashville hotel has an accented lobby with a spiral two-story staircase decked out in brass work and lighting packages that gives a unique interpretation of instruments and sheet music. In addition, the hotel also features wellness rooms specially designed for fitness freaks, stocked with some gear and a minibar with healthy drinks.

Dining in at Conrad

Conrad Nashville offers multiple places and cuisines to choose from, each giving a remarkable experience. Starting with Blue Aster, an all-day restaurant serving Southern flavors, with the yummiest seasonal dishes, fresh seafood, and local ranch steaks. The hotel’s third floor features an indoor/outdoor establishment, Thistle & Rye, offering globally-inspired small plates and Nashville’s classics. Simply order a beverage while sitting on the patio overlooking downtown Nashville, nosh on the international bites like locals’ favored chicken sliders, enjoy the live music playing in the background, and have a great time.

The Gem of Nashville Hotel

Apart from all the luxurious suites of the hotel, the jewel of the hotel is the 3,000 square-feet grand suite, including three bedrooms, a lounge, a dining table seating 10 people, a movie hall, a soaking tub, and a butler’s pantry. However, if you can’t afford the luxurious suite, you can explore a fitness center and an outdoor pool and even enjoy the 17,000 square feet of event space, open to all. You can even enjoy Conrad Nashville’s restaurant’s 24-hour room service, served by the well-organized housekeeping team, making the experience much more pleasant for travelers. If you are a business traveler or planning a vacation, in that case, Conrad Nashville’s convenient location, elite amenities, and spacious accommodations starting at $226 per night make it the ideal place for anyone wanting to experience the upgraded Nashville.

The Museum Reach is a famous pedestrian park in Texas along the San Antonio River, winding by some of the city’s most exciting shops, hotels, and restaurants. Here are a few notable stops along the Museum Reach Riverwalk.

Hotel Emma

Located at the 19th-century Pearl Brewery, Hotel Emma is a luxe landmark along the San Antonio Riverwalk. This 146-room hotel adds luxury to the industrial aesthetic of the building with a two-story library/bar that hosts evening cocktails, and an old generator flywheel-turned-art installation in the lobby.

Best Quality Daughter

Located along the northern end of the riverwalk, this uniquely named eatery is a chic comfort food kitchen. A new Asian-American pop-up by chef-owner Jennifer Hwa Dobbertin, it offers fun treats, like vegan meat pot-stickers, served in four colorful rooms inspired by folk figures from Chinese constellations.

Carriqui

One of the most recent and ambitious offerings of the city, Carriqui is a culinary ode to South Texas. Run by chef Jaime Gonzalez, this 11,000-square-foot restaurant along the San Antonio riverwalk offers barbeque, Gulf seafood, and delicious Tejano dishes like beef-cheek barbacoa and cabrito. The renovation of the landmarked 19th-century white-clapboard building took eight long years.

Dos Carolinas

This beloved boutique is the San Antonio outpost of famed Texas shirt-maker Dos Carolinas. Here designer Caroline Matthews stocks pajamas, dresses, and her coveted seersucker ‘guayarobe,’ which are often sold out. But the most popular item is her signature handmade ‘guayaberas,’ a type of front-buttoned men’s shirt widely worn across Latin America.

Full Goods Diner

Full Goods Diner is a contemporary café, located along the Museum Reach, offering scratch-made dishes served in a lively greenhouse-styled space. The seasonal menu is equal parts traditional and edgy. The ricotta toast with guajillo gastrique, pickled jalapenos, and peaches is a must-try here.

Elsewhere Bar & Kitchen

Opened just two years ago, Elsewhere Bar & Kitchen has already been very popular among locals and visitors. This expansive place offers an open setting overlooking the San Antonio River. Go and enjoy a spiked lemonade with a fried-chicken sandwich, while sitting on a porch swing amidst the fresh breeze coming from the river.

Thompson San Antonio-Riverwalk Hotel

Located at the western end of the Museum Reach, this towering 20-storied hotel opened in 2021. Along with 162 modern pet-friendly rooms, the hotel boasts three distinct dining venues and a remarkable art collection. There is a pool bar ‘Cenote,’ a restaurant ‘Landrace,’ and a rooftop lounge ‘The Moon’s Daughters’ with a stunning view of the flowing San Antonio River.
