The 854-room Omni Nashville Hotel is a large, upscale property in the center of downtown Nashville,
connected to the
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. An array of features include 80,000-square-feet of meeting and event space, two restaurants, a bar, coffee shop, fitness center, and a spa. Guest rooms are
modern, though less luxurious than the rest of the hotel, and include flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and bottled water, but there have been complaints about noise issues due to thin walls. As an alternative, the Sheraton Nashville Downtown Hotel is a similar upscale
property with an indoor pool.

Scene
Large upscale hotel with sleek, sophisticated interiors
The upscale Omni
Nashville Hotel occupies a sleek building made of white stone and
blue reflective glass. Its lobby is vast, with glossy floors, large
ring-shaped lights hanging from the ceiling, and upholstered furniture
clustered here and there on large rugs near a long wall of windows. An elegant niche warmed by a large fireplace offers seating on maroon velour couches and leather armchairs, while the book-lined walls give it the feel of a handsome library. Hallways on the first floor are spacious and dotted with bird-themed art
pieces, while the interior corridors on other floors have multi-colored carpets
with paisley designs. Kitchen Notes, the hotel’s Southern restaurant, features elegant, rustic decor that includes wooden floors, brick walls, white marble tables, and
gray, tan, or white modern chairs and booths. In contrast, Bob’s Steak and Chop
House is luxurious with red velour round booths, tables with white linens, and
a display of vintage radio microphones. Barlines has a design that reflects a
typical sports bar: wooden picnic tables, a long gray bar with wooden bar
stools, and a number of large flat-screen TVs. The hotel mainly attracts a business crowd who
can be seen utilizing the meeting spaces for conferences or having a drink or
dinner in one of the many restaurants, though couples and leisure tourists are frequent visitors as well.
Location
In downtown Nashville and within walking distance of popular attractions
The Omni
Nashville Hotel is conveniently connected to the Country Music Hall of Fame andMuseum and sits across the street from Music City Center. Located downtown,
the hotel is not far from attractions like the Walk of Fame Park, which is a five-minute walk
away, and the Johnny Cash Museum, an eight-minute walk. Some local
attractions like the Parthenon (a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in
Greece), require a short car ride -- in this case 15 minutes. The Grand Ole
Opry takes 20 minutes to reach by car. Opry Mall and the Mall
of Green Hills are 15 minutes away by car. A variety of dining
options can be found on surrounding streets. To travel around downtown Nashville for free,
guests can hop on the Music City Circuit bus from the Country Music Hall of
Fame. The Nashville International Airport is a 10-minute car ride, or about 20 minutes via public transportation (the bus stops about a five-minute walk from the hotel).
Rooms
Sophisticated, trendy rooms with large windows and spacious bathrooms
The 800
rooms and 54 suites are decently sized and full of natural lights thanks to floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall
windows that offers views of downtown Nashville. Pleasant, contemporary decor includes beige linens, blue and maroon floral
pillows, and blue and gray patterned carpets paired with glossy wooden furniture and maroon-hued patterned armchairs. It’s a sophisticated design with a trendy twist.
Suites have a similar look with musical decor elements. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and bottled water, while Suites have the option
of a separate living room. Bathrooms are well sized with spacious, black granite counter tops, rectangular porcelain sinks, and lighted vanity mirrors, as well as either shower/tub combos or walk-in showers (suites have both). For a hotel with a Good Night’s Rest policy (which
asserts that they can ask any loud guests to leave immediately after 10:30 p.m.) there have been complaints about thin walls and bothersome noises
from the hallways and the nearby train. Some guests also complain about spotty Wi-Fi, which is an extra fee.
Features
Three restaurants, a spa, rooftop pool and hot tub, and a number of meeting spaces
Guests at
this hotel can begin their day with a breakfast buffet in Kitchen Notes, the
hotel’s traditional Southern restaurant, though it incurs a costly fee. Lunch, dinner, and a
Biscuits Bar are also available. Bob’s Steak and Chop House serves dinner,
while live performances, lunch, and dinner can be had at the hotel’s sports
bar, Barlines, late into the evening, plus room service is available 24 hours. Bongo Java is an on-site coffee shop that
serves organic coffee and gourmet pastries. Guests
have noted that on-site dining is pricey, however. The hotel has a lovely rooftop pool and hot tub as well as a large 24-hour fitness center that has a wide
selection of cardio machines with TVs, weight machines, and free weights. There’s
a spa that provides massages, beauty treatments, salon services, and packages
that include lunch. The 80,000-square-feet of meeting and event spaces are
fully-equipped with audio-visual equipment, plus there’s a full-service
business center. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby only, though complaints have been
made concerning connectivity issues. The hotel’s large gift shop, Five &TENN, sells upscale items like cowboy boots, fine apparel, home decor, and
jewelry. Families can make use of the Omni Sensational Kids program, which
provides kids with a backpack filled with nutritional-related activities and
items. There’s self or valet parking for a costly fee.
