Best Nashville Hotels and Resorts for Families

1. Grand Hyatt Nashville

Grand Hyatt Nashville is in the heart of the action. Walk to the Gulch for shopping, or explore the excitement of Broadway just steps away from the hotel’s front door. The hotel's rooftop has a pool as well as one of the highest outdoor rooftop bars in Music City.

2. Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center

The Gaylord Opryland boasts multiple restaurants and endless activities. Take a boat ride around the indoor moat, attend a nightly light show, or go on a hunt to take photos with virtual creatures. But what really makes this hotel stand out is its expansive indoor/outdoor water park, Soundwaves. Good luck trying to tear the kids away from the water slides, wave pool, two lazy rivers, and more. Parents can relax at the resort’s spa when they need some downtime.

3. Virgin Hotels Nashville

This fun hotel in the heart of Nashville has rooms thoughtfully designed with families in mind. Doors separate the sleeping area from the dressing area and bathrooms for privacy in all rooms. Head to the lobby to find a variety of games to play, or pick up a book to borrow. A highlight for families is the rooftop pool that boasts an incredible view of Music City. A miniature version of Virgin’s signature sheep, Snoozy, awaits you in your room.

4. Holiday Inn and Suites Nashville Downtown

This Holiday Inn is located near the vibrant nightlife of Broadway. During the day, walk to some of Nashville’s top destinations including Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the great shops and restaurants of Fifth & Broadway. Kids eat free at the hotel, which also has a pool.

The hotel pays homage to Music City with windows that mimic frets on a guitar, the pitch of the roof resembling the lid of a baby grand piano, and artwork that honors the city’s renowned music history.
