The 506 Lofts

Nashville, Tennessee

Photo: 506 Lofts- Nashville Vacation Rentals

A boutique guesthouse in the heart of East Nashville with just a handful of beautifully designed loft-style suites. Each unit has its own kitchen, curated vintage furniture, and the kind of local art on the walls that you'll want to buy. It feels less like a hotel and more like borrowing a very cool apartment from someone with impeccable taste. Walking distance to everything on the east side.

Insider tip

Book the upstairs loft with the private rooftop deck. Morning coffee up there with the East Nashville skyline is hard to beat.

Prince's Hot Chicken Shack

The place that started it all. Prince's has been serving Nashville hot chicken since the 1940s, and everything else in town is a footnote. The heat levels are real — medium here would be extra-hot anywhere else. The room is no-frills, the wait can be long, and none of that matters once you bite in. This is ground zero.

Audrey

Sean Brock's love letter to Southern Appalachian cooking, served in a converted house with a garden out back that supplies half the menu. This isn't nostalgia food — it's painstaking research into heirloom ingredients and forgotten techniques, plated with a precision that makes every course feel like a thesis defense. The tasting menu is the move.

The Hermitage Hotel
StayGermantown

The Hermitage Hotel

Nashville's only Beaux-Arts hotel, open since 1910 and still the most elegant room in the city. The lobby ceiling alone is worth a visit — barrel-vaulted stained glass that makes you stand a little straighter. The rooms have been updated without losing the gravitas. The men's restroom downstairs won an award. No, really.

StayNolita · New York, New York

The Freehand New York

A design hotel on Lexington that splits the difference between boutique and budget without sacrificing personality. The George Washington Bar is a stunner — all hand-painted murals and low light — and the Roman & Williams interiors make even the compact rooms feel considered. It's the hotel you recommend to the friend who wants to stay somewhere interesting without spending four figures a night.

StayWest Loop · Chicago, Illinois

Chicago Athletic Association

A Venetian Gothic landmark from 1893, reborn as the most architecturally significant hotel in the city. Every room is different, the public spaces are jaw-dropping — cherry game room, the Drawing Room lobby, Cindy's on the roof — and you're staring directly at Millennium Park. It's the kind of hotel where the building is the attraction.
