Spacious, Modern Comfort Just Minutes from Nashville’s Music Scene

Modern and relaxed, the Residence Inn by Marriott Nashville Vanderbilt/West End offers a home-away-from-home vibe right in the heart of Nashville’s vibrant West End. Just a short walk from Vanderbilt University and about a mile from top downtown concert venues like Bridgestone Arena and the Ryman Auditorium, this all-suite hotel is ideal for music-lovers who want both convenience and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel hits the sweet spot—close enough to walk or grab a quick ride to major venues, but tucked away just far enough to avoid late-night crowd noise.

Plus, you’re just steps from West End eateries offering everything from Southern comfort food to quick bites after a show.

Nightlife Options

Head downtown for legendary honky-tonks and live music bars, or keep it low-key at nearby lounges and craft beer spots. The West End location means you’re close to the action without being overwhelmed by it. No on-site bar, but plenty of local favorites are within walking distance.
