Union Station Hotel
Nashville, Tennessee
Image the glamor and elegance of a bygone age when well-dressed travelers gathered in ornate train stations with monogrammed steamer trunks and dreams of exotic destinations. Open your eyes and if you’re lucky you’ll find yourself standing in the exquisite lobby of the Union Station Hotel in Nashville.
This luxury hotel was formerly a 19th-Century railroad station and is replete with Italian marble, intricate wood carvings, gold-leaf accents, limestone fireplaces and a lobby with 65-foot vaulted ceilings and prism stained glass. Mae West traveled through these beautiful corridors as did mobster Al Capone on his way to the penitentiary. Remarkably, at one time the station housed two alligator ponds.
The railroad station originally opened in 1900, but was converted to a hotel in 1986. In 1977, it became a National Historic Landmark. Union Station Hotel underwent an $11 million dollar renovation in 2007, and now combines the best of history with modern-day comfort and amenities.
There are 125 guest rooms at the hotel, each having high ceilings, panoramic windows, and marble bathrooms (with complimentary Gilchrist & Soames bath products). Additionally, all rooms have a LCD flat screen television and wifi. Union Station also features the fine dining restaurant, Prime 108, as well as in room dining. www.unionstationhotelnashville.com
