Candlewood Suites Nashville North By IHG

Comfort Meets Convenience Just Minutes from Downtown Nashville

Modern, budget-friendly, and just 3 miles from the heart of Music City, Candlewood Suites Nashville - Metro Center offers a relaxed, home-away-from-home vibe for travelers. Located near I-65, this all-suite hotel is a smart pick for fans heading to concerts at Bridgestone Arena, Ryman Auditorium, or the many live music spots across downtown. Spacious rooms, full kitchens in select suites, and free WiFi make it great for longer stays or groups traveling together.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel puts you just a short rideshare away from major venues—no need to stress about parking or long post-show drives. It’s far enough from the noise of Broadway to offer a quiet night’s sleep, but close enough to be out the door and at your seat in 10–15 minutes. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and rideshares are readily available in this part of town.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to pre-game in a suite with a kitchen
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist’s tour stop
• Couples looking for a chill weekend without breaking the bank
• Fans who prefer a quieter place to crash after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite with a kitchen means you can cook your own meals or heat up late-night snacks. The hotel also offers outdoor barbecue facilities—a fun pre-concert hangout spot for groups. Several fast-casual and dine-in spots are within a short drive, and breakfast-friendly options can be found nearby for those post-show mornings.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is quiet, downtown’s bars, honky-tonks, and lounges are just 3 miles away. Whether you’re looking for craft cocktails, dive bars with jukeboxes, or a second round of live music, it’s all easily accessible via rideshare.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, especially the full kitchens for extended stays. Many appreciate the quiet location after a high-energy night downtown. Staff are described as friendly and helpful, and the value for money is consistently praised—especially compared to pricier downtown hotels.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not walkable to downtown, so you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to the action. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, but the in-room kitchens help fill that gap. Some guests noted that amenities are more functional than fancy—think practical over posh.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, and quiet base just minutes from Nashville’s music scene, Candlewood Suites Nashville - Metro Center hits all the right notes.
