Kimpton Aertson Hotel By IHG

Stylish Boutique Comfort in the Heart of Music Row

Modern and artsy, the Kimpton Aertson Hotel delivers boutique charm right in the soul of Nashville’s Music Row. Just a short walk from Vanderbilt University and a quick ride from major music venues, this hotel blends upscale design with a relaxed, music-loving vibe. With its rooftop pool, warm Southern hospitality, and inviting rooms featuring Bluetooth sound systems and minibars, it’s a smart stay for anyone coming to town to catch a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and Kimpton Aertson nails it. You're within walking distance of some iconic Nashville venues, and just a 9-minute drive from Nissan Stadium. Even better, the area is lively but not rowdy, making it easy to wind down post-show. The hotel’s complimentary evening wine reception is a great pre-concert perk, and rideshare pickups are quick and easy from this central spot. Check-in starts at 4pm and check-out is at 11am, giving you enough time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to stay in style near the action
• Solo travelers chasing live music dreams
• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who love the show but crave a quiet recovery spot
• Budget-conscious music fans who want upscale without the splurge

Food and Drink Options

The on-site brasserie, Henley, serves up modern American fare for breakfast and dinner—ideal for a pre-show bite or a lazy morning meal. There’s also a daily snack cart that changes themes, which adds a fun and spontaneous touch. While there's no 24/7 room service, the minibar is well-stocked, and the surrounding neighborhood is filled with walkable dining spots and late-night options.

Nightlife Options

The bar at Henley leans into Tennessee whiskey with a menu of craft cocktails and local beers. While the hotel itself doesn't host live music, you're just steps from Nashville's buzzing nightlife scene. Whether you're bar-hopping or looking for a cozy cocktail lounge, it’s all close by.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s stylish rooms and excellent location. Many love the rooftop pool and sun deck, especially during warmer months. The staff is often praised for being friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe is described as “cool without trying too hard.” The wine hour and modern design touches are frequently mentioned as highlights.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that valet parking can be pricey and that the area can get a bit busy during events. If you're a light sleeper, internal hallway noise may be a minor issue—but nothing a white noise app won’t fix.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a stylish, walkable, and music-centric stay in the heart of Nashville, Kimpton Aertson Hotel hits all the right notes.
