A Stylish Stay for Independent Travelers in Music City!

Upon arriving at Drift Nashville, I was immediately struck by the hotel's unique approach to hospitality. The front desk seamlessly blends into the café, creating an inviting atmosphere that feels more like entering a cozy lounge than a traditional hotel lobby. This design choice embodies Drift's philosophy: "Drift is for the independent. Those who take the road less traveled and are shaped by it."

Accommodations

During my stay, I had the opportunity to experience the King Room. The spacious layout, complemented by a generous shower and a comfortable work desk, made it ideal for both relaxation and productivity. Each room at Drift Nashville is thoughtfully designed, featuring custom art from local artists, which adds a distinctive touch to the ambiance.

In addition to the King Room, Drift Nashville offers several other accommodation options:

• One-Bedroom Premium Suite: Slightly more expensive than a standard King, this suite offers extra space and a kitchenette, making it ideal for longer stays or guests desiring additional comfort. Overlooking the pool, this room provides one of the best views on the property. Plus, it can connect with adjacent rooms to form two- or three-bedroom suites, perfect for group trips, bachelor and bachelorette parties, or families traveling together.

• Double Queen Room: Ideal for friends or small families, this room offers ample space, featuring two comfortable queen beds and a spacious bathroom with Drift's signature oversized shower.

• Connecting Rooms: For groups seeking more space and flexibility, Drift offers connecting room options that combine various room types to create multi-bedroom suites.
