The capital of Tennessee and heartland of country music lies on the winding Cumberland River. Whether you’re catching a gig at the Grand Ole Opry, paying your respects to the likes of Jimmie Rodgers, Chet Atkins and Patsy Cline at the Country Music Hall of Fame, or pursuing art at The Parthenon, you’ll want a room with a view to enjoy the cityscapes during your downtime. Here is our pick of the best hotels with balconies in Nashville, all bookable on Culture Trip.

No one has nailed the vacation attitude quite like American singer-songwriter Jimmy “Margaritaville” Buffett, so it’s no surprise the suite named after him at this hotel goes all out. It includes a fireplace, a shuffleboard table, two bedrooms, and a balcony with impressive views of downtown Nashville. Yes, there is a wet bar, so you can make your own cocktail to enjoy on your private balcony, or perhaps order a signature frozen margarita from the hotel bar instead.

Holston House Nashville, for lounging by a rooftop pool

The Presidential King suite at the art-deco-era Holston House will make you feel like a president or royalty (or both). The decor is plush yet understated, and its ample balcony takes in the Music City skyline from a prime downtown location. The hotel also features a rooftop pool – with more epic city views – and a pool bar that serves local whiskey. Holston House is also within walking distance to the Ryman Auditorium, Lower Broadway and the Bridgestone Arena.

Book one of the executive suites and enjoy plush rugs, hand-picked furniture, hi-tech controls, deep soaking tubs, plus large balconies for looking at Vanderbilt University and the Midtown neighborhood.
