Loews Nashville Hotel at Vanderbilt Plaza
Loews Nashville Hotel Reveals Multimillion-Dollar Property-Wide Transformation
Today, Loews Nashville Hotel at Vanderbilt Plaza officially reveals its multimillion-dollar, property-wide transformation, ushering in a new era for the long-established Nashville hotel. Located in the city’s Midtown neighborhood, minutes from Nashville’s entertainment district, Music Row and Vanderbilt University, the hotel’s transformation introduces an elevated guest experience from arrival to departure through reimagined guestrooms, revitalized public spaces, distinctive new dining destinations and enhanced gathering spaces inspired by the city’s warm and creative spirit.
“For more than 40 years, Loews Nashville has been a defining part of Music City hospitality, welcoming generations of musicians, dignitaries and guests from around the world,” said Hugh Anderson, General Manager of Loews Nashville Hotel. “This transformation builds on that legacy with elevated accommodations and exciting new spaces for dining and gathering. Nashville has evolved tremendously and so have we. We're excited to reintroduce the hotel and share this next chapter with both returning and first-time guests.”
Reimagined for a New Era of Nashville Hospitality
Designed by South Florida-based Studio DADO, the hotel's interiors draw inspiration from the artistic and cultural identity of Music City, balancing Nashville's historic character with its contemporary energy throughout the guest experience.
The lobby has been reimagined as a warm and welcoming space that encourages connection, gathering and celebration. The expansive, open-concept design creates an immediate sense of arrival, blending Nashville-inspired artistry with curated architectural elements. Guests are greeted by a dramatic 53-foot-long sculptural chandelier that evokes the fluid nature of sound waves and serves as the lobby's signature visual centerpiece. A custom glass art installation depicting brass instruments spans the wall behind the reception area, paying homage to Music City’s rich heritage, while a new grand staircase connects the lobby and mezzanine levels, enhancing the openness of the space.
The thoughtful redesign continues into the guestrooms and suites, which showcase the city’s creative character and the natural beauty of the Tennessee landscape. A soft, neutral color palette allows natural light to take center stage, creating an inviting space. Subtle musical references weave throughout the design, while modern furnishings, plush seating areas and upgraded vanities and showers create a balance of comfort and sophistication, offering a serene retreat amid the energy of Music City.
New Music City-inspired Dining
Complementing the hotel’s reimagined accommodations and public spaces, Loews Nashville Hotel introduces two distinctive dining concepts that celebrate the city’s vibrant culture and culinary scene, offering inviting experiences for both locals and hotel guests.
Located within the lobby, Maisonette Patisserie & Coffee serves as an all-day café and marketplace where guests can enjoy locally roasted coffee, house-made pastries crafted daily by the hotel's pastry chef, savory fare and grab-and-go selections. Blending the polish of an upscale café with the comfort of a neighborhood gathering place, the space pairs rich finishes, warm textures and comfortable seating where guests can linger over breakfast, enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up or recharge after exploring the city.
Masons at West End anchors the hotel's dining offerings as a vibrant restaurant, bar and entertainment destination featuring contemporary American cuisine, a mixologist-driven cocktail program and live performances by a curated lineup of Nashville artists. Designed by New York-based Parts and Labor Design, the space reinterprets the spirit of a classic American great room, with a central circular bar that encourages gathering and connection, while an intimate stage serves as the heart of the venue, setting the tone for a distinctly Nashville evening experience. Led by Executive Chef Sean Strolle, the menu presents elevated takes on beloved classics, including salted cod fritters with caviar, lobster thermidor and tableside beef Wellington.
New and Refreshed for Nashville Celebrations & Gatherings
The final phase of the property's transformation will debut in January 2027, introducing enhancements to the hotel's meetings and events offerings. A refreshed 8,500-square-foot Symphony Ballroom and adjoining foyer will continue the design narrative established throughout the hotel, incorporating sculptural and organic forms that subtly reference Nashville's musical identity. The addition of a new outdoor lawn will introduce the hotel's largest dedicated open-air gathering space, designed to accommodate everything from weddings and special events to community programming and seasonal activations. Together, these additions will create new opportunities for guests and locals alike to connect and celebrate in the heart of Music City.
With reimagined accommodations, new dining destinations and enhanced gathering spaces, the transformation marks a significant evolution for one of Nashville’s most established hotels.
