New hotels in SoBro

SoBro — South of Broadway — is the former warehouse district immediately south of downtown Nashville's honky-tonk strip, redeveloped around the Music City Center convention complex that opened in 2013. Four hotels we track have opened here since 2021: Hyatt Centric Downtown Nashville, 1 Hotel Nashville, Four Seasons Hotel Nashville and Motto by Hilton Nashville Downtown, giving the district the highest concentration of new luxury and upper-upscale openings of any Nashville neighborhood we track.

What to do in SoBro

For a weekend

Start at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, a short walk from Four Seasons Hotel Nashville, then walk north into Downtown Nashville for the honky-tonks along Lower Broadway itself. Music City Center anchors the district's convention business, directly across from 1 Hotel Nashville.

For a longer stay

With more time, The Gulch's restaurants and bars are an easy walk west from Motto by Hilton Nashville Downtown, and the riverfront parks along the Cumberland River are a short walk east — the district's flat, gridded streets make most of downtown Nashville reachable on foot.
