Aertson Hotel by Kimpton
2021 Broadway, Nashville, Tennessee 37203, United States
Why We Like It
While set apart from the downtown area, many of the most notable attractions are still less than three miles from Aertson Hotel. Its somewhat removed location gives guests the opportunity to explore Nashville neighborhoods in an environmentally-friendly way, from the seat of a cruiser bike. The posh, design-oriented atmosphere is the at the height of modern style without sacrificing comfort.
Fodor's Expert Review
A LEED-certified hotel, Aertson Hotel will delight the decor- and design-minded. From its industrial setting to its refined accents, the space is visually pleasing, peaceful, and comfortable. Animal lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly nature as there is no fee for any animal, no matter the size or species.

Room
The neutral rooms accented with mustard and teal bring to mind feng shui as the rooms are minimalist and balanced, creating a peaceful environment for guests to unwind. The capped concrete walls are softened by a warm wood and leather bed frame, a lounge chair with stacked throw pillows, and a wooden mantel over which the television is mounted. Every room includes original artwork as well as a yoga mat for guests to use. Free wifi is available for IHG Reward Club members, but otherwise there is a fee.
Bathroom
Enter the bathroom through a frosted, sliding glass door to a marble bathroom featuring a wall mural. Each room contains a white-brick tiled walk-in showers with a floor-to-ceiling glass door.
Lobby
In an industrial-chic space flooded with light, guests check in at a cerulean woven rope front desk in the modern lobby. Composed of exposed concrete, wooden beams and a fireplace with river rocks suspended above it like a bead curtain bring warmth to the sitting areas.
Pool
The Aertson rooftop pool is open from April to October. Its cabanas, sitting area surrounding a fireplace, and both the lap pool as well as the shallow in-pool lounge chairs overlook Vanderbilt.
Spa
Guests can book a treatment at the hotel's 4,000 square-foot, full-service Woodhouse Spa.
Tip Guests can purchase a day pass to visit the Woodhouse Spa.
Gym

Dining
The hotel's restaurant, Henley, utilizes local ingredients while preparing French cuisine. Terrace dining is available as is a chef's table experience to watch the preparation. Henley was chosen by Eater readers for both best food and drink in Nashville. Stop in the light and airy space for breakfast to ease into the day.

What's Nearby
Getting Around
Valet parking is available for $35 per night. Guests can walk, Uber, or bike to many nearby attractions. The loaner bikes even have a basket over the back fender to carry any items guests may pick up on their outing.
Restaurants
Located near Music Row and Vanderbilt, there are restaurants serving impressive dishes close at hand as well as the cheap and casual. The Pancake Pantry (4-minute drive) is very popular for a hearty breakfast as is Hattie B's Hot Chicken (5-minute walk) for lunch. For seafood, live music, and one of the best weeknight happy hours -- 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. -- we have seen, reserve a table at Sambuca (5-minute drive).
Bars
The Patterson House (6-minute walk) is a safe choice not far from the hotel, but Old Glory (15-minute walk) which is also within walking distance, though hidden, creates an undeniably cool atmosphere for a night out. For something truly different, take an Uber to Santa's Pub (8-minute drive), one of the diviest bars in Nashville.
