Scene
Modern touches give warmth to this chain hotel.
While on the outside the Nashville @ Opryland Hampton Inn looks just like any other chain hotel, inside, the lobby is modern and comfortable with leather couches and chairs, and TVs. The teal and brown color scheme adds vibrancy and warmth to the area, and the musically themed decor (cutouts of musical instruments, depictions of musicians) reflects Nashville’s cultural history and adds charm without being gaudy. Set off from the highway, the hotel is generally quiet as well.The hotel is in a commercial area, surrounded by other hotels, restaurants, and shops. While the immediate surroundings are not visually appealing, there’s are several economic food options in walking distance, such as a Bob Evans, Scoreboard Smokehouse, and Music City Bar and Grille.
