Urban Cowboy Nashville

Nashville, Tennessee

A Victorian mansion in East Nashville converted into a boutique hotel that feels like crashing at the home of your most stylish friend. Each room is individually designed with vintage furniture and original art. The communal spaces — a wraparound porch, a garden with a fire pit, a sauna — encourage the kind of lingering that hotels usually discourage. This is East Nashville in architectural form.

Insider tip

Book a room in the main house, not the annex. Morning coffee on the wraparound porch is the closest Nashville gets to a Southern novel.

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.

StayLoDo · Denver, Colorado

The Crawford Hotel

Built into the top floors of Union Station, sleeping here means waking up in one of the most beautiful buildings in Colorado. The rooms range from classic Pullman sleeper-car style to loft suites with exposed brick and soaring ceilings. You're steps from the best bars and restaurants in LoDo, and the Great Hall downstairs is your de facto living room.

StayThe Strip · Las Vegas, Nevada

The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas

The hipper alternative to the Wynn — sleeker, younger, more interested in design than in spectacle. The terrace suites have wraparound balconies that make all other Strip rooms feel claustrophobic, and the lobby's eight-pillar Bond Bar is one of the best happy-hour rooms in the city. The Chandelier Bar is three stories of crystal and bourbon.
