Scene
Busy, friendly atmosphere drawing guests attending university events
The Hampton’s proximity to Vanderbilt University keeps this friendly and aesthetically pleasing hotel busy with guests in town for sporting events, reunions, parental visits, and students checking out colleges. The lovely lobby is accented by dark-brown wood trim, red-orange sofas and armchairs, white square columns and walls, and charcoal-gray tile floors. A four-sided fireplace with a brick mantle serves as the unofficial
dividing line between the front desk and breakfast areas. Modern, rectangular
chandeliers hang from the second floor and illuminate several separate sitting
areas filled with throw pillows and ottomans. It’s a large, open
area with two-story windows that bring in lots of light. The breakfast area, with
a natural stone wall, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and clusters of rectangular
tables and high-back chairs, is especially busy in the morning as
guests gather for the free breakfast.
