Why We Like It
Apart from the run-of-the-mill Nashville attractions, Hotel Preston is nearby the Lane Motor Museum, Hatch Show Print, and Jack White's Third Man Records. The hotel is unique, comfortable, and affordable while giving guests wider access to Nashville and all it has to offer. From check-in to checking out the local bands each night, guests will step back in time to experience Nashville as it once was.
Fodor's Expert Review
Hotel Preston redefines and modernizes a 1970s hotel stay. From the contemporary exterior and modern furnishings to the red-walled front desk and eclectic art collection, the hotel provides guests with a stylishly vintage stay. With a fee, pets are welcome as well and are offered a bed, bowls, treats, and a toy among other amenities.
