OUR PICK FOR COUPLES
Corner King
~366 ft² · city views
More space and light than a standard king, for very little extra.

Thompson Nashville
BY HYATT · THE GULCH · 12 STOREYS · ABOUT 12 MINUTES' WALK TO BROADWAY
Our verdict
The Gulch's original design hotel, with one of the city's most popular rooftops and a seafood restaurant worth staying in for.
Thompson opened in 2016 as the first new-build lifestyle hotel in Nashville, and it still sets the tone for the Gulch. It is stylish, warm and well run, with Marsh House downstairs and L.A. Jackson on the roof. There is no pool, and the entry rooms are compact, so it suits couples and friends who plan to be out more than in.

Check dates →What we arrange for you
- 01
We get you onto the roof
L.A. Jackson is mostly walk-in and fills up early with locals. We plan your evening around it and reserve a table where one is available.
- 02
We book Marsh House
Dinner or the daily brunch, booked with your room, plus a note on weekday oyster hour.
- 03
We ask for a corner or neighbourhood room
These are noticeably larger than the standard kings, so we request one on every booking.

Your arrival, sorted
A private BNA transfer and your first evening planned before you land.
The atmosphere
“A big hotel that feels like a boutique one, in the neighbourhood that made Nashville stylish.”
Thompson feels polished and warm rather than flashy: brushed brass, rustic wood, custom wallpaper and a compass mosaic in the lobby. Music shows up quietly, with Marshall amps in the rooms instead of guitars on every wall.
The crowd is young and well dressed, and the energy rises through the day. Mornings are coffee at Killebrew; evenings belong to the rooftop, where a DJ plays on some weekends.
ROOMS AND SUITES
Thoughtfully designed, but compact. Ask for a corner.
ENTRY ROOMS · ~312 FT²
Smaller than the Four Seasons (~405), The Joseph (~399) and the W (~380). Corner and neighbourhood rooms run to about 355–387 ft².
DETAILS
Floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding barn doors, Sferra linens, Marshall Bluetooth amps and D.S. & Durga bath products.
BATHROOMS
Many with claw-foot tubs, one of the hotel's signatures.
FOR FRIENDS SHARING
Corner Two Queens
~387 ft² · sleeps four
The roomiest standard layout in the hotel.
FOR A CELEBRATION
Thompson Suite
~764 ft² · king · city views
A separate living room for pre-drinks before the rooftop.

DINING AND DRINKS
Three venues, all worth knowing about
FOR DINNER
Marsh House
Seafood and Southern cooking with a raw bar and a wine list of over 400 labels. Daily brunch, and $1.50 oysters on weekdays from 5 to 7pm.
AT SUNSET
L.A. Jackson
The top-floor rooftop bar over the Gulch, with craft cocktails, local beers and shareable plates. Over-21s only, with DJs on some weekends.
IN THE MORNING
Killebrew Coffee
Lobby coffee shop with seasonal drinks and a pastry counter.
WORTH KNOWING
L.A. Jackson is one of the busiest rooftops in town and is mostly walk-in. Go before sunset, or let us plan around it.
FITNESS AND FACILITIES
Pool
There isn't one.
How it compares: For a pool in the Gulch, the W's WET Deck is a short walk away; downtown, the Four Seasons, The Joseph and the JW all have one.
Fitness
A fitness centre for guests.
Location
Thompson sits at the heart of the Gulch, surrounded by boutiques, murals and some of the city's best restaurants. Lower Broadway is about 12 minutes' walk, close enough to walk to the honky-tonks, far enough to sleep away from them.
ON THE DOORSTEP
- The Gulch's shops, murals and restaurants
- Station Inn bluegrass
- Lower Broadway, about 12 minutes on foot
- Music City Center
- BNA airport, about 15 minutes by car
Who it suits
Couples
A stylish weekend with a great dinner and a rooftop sunset.
Friends
A Gulch base for a birthday weekend that's more cocktails than chaos.
Food lovers
Marsh House alone is worth the stay.
Dog owners
Dogs are welcome (up to two, each up to about 40 lb).
Less suited to: pool lovers (try the W or the JW), anyone wanting a big standard room (The Hermitage or the Conrad), and light sleepers on lower floors, where street noise can carry.
