The Best Hotels with Rooftop Bars in Nashville (2025)

One of Nashville's greatest draws is its nightlife. Named the Music City due to its long association with country music, there is a vast choice of bars, music venues, and nightclubs to choose from. However, venues don't come much chicer than a roof terrace with a hip bar. With that in mind, our hotel experts have compiled a collection of the best hotels with rooftop bars in Nashville selected on their location, amenities, design, and (of course) rooftop views. Whether you are looking for a sleek modern stay or something with a little more character, there is something to suit most tastes here. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next city break?

For the design

• Pick the Graduate Nashville for fun contemporary design. In true Graduate style, the design is playfully outrageous. Rooms have a whimsical take on traditional design while a bright pink roof terrace features a hip bar and pool. Complete with a restaurant, this is a fun stay.
• Downtown Sporting Club is a chic boutique hotel set right amidst the honky-tonks on Broadway. The 20 rooms are contemporary and stylish. The roof terrace bar is a lively affair, plus there is a popular Southern-inspired restaurant and sports bar. A fun city stay.

For a contemporary stay

• Thompson Nashville is an ultra-chic contemporary hotel. Smart rooms boast fabulous city views from the floor to ceiling windows. The rooftop bar offers a mean cocktail and the restaurant serves up superb Southern dishes; there's a hipster coffee outlet too (naturally).
• The Fairlane Hotel, located by some of the city's most famous cultural landmarks, offers visitors an authentic yet contemporary stay. Expect big, comfortable rooms and a popular restaurant and bar, set on the 4th floor, with a wraparound terrace offering fabulous views.

Boasting river views, an indulgent spa, and exquisite dining (including a rooftop restaurant and bar), it's the perfect blend of urban charm with Southern grace.

For a rooftop pool (and bar)
