The Spotlight on The Dive Motel and Swim Club

Retro Vibes and Relaxation Just Minutes from the Action

The Dive Motel and Swim Club is a retro-inspired, boutique hotel just 2.5 miles from downtown Nashville’s biggest music venues. With its kitschy-cool decor, outdoor pool, and vintage flair, this spot is made for music lovers who want something a little different from the usual hotel experience. Located on Dickerson Pike, it’s a quick ride to the heart of the city's live music scene, but just far enough to offer a peaceful crash pad after a loud night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location—The Dive is under 3 miles from venues like Nissan Stadium, Ryman Auditorium, and Bridgestone Arena. You can be from bed to beat drop in under 10 minutes. After the show, head back to enjoy the hot tub, sauna, or outdoor pool to unwind. Plus, free parking and solid WiFi make it easy to coordinate post-show plans or rideshares. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the relaxed vibe and helpful staff make your stay feel flexible, even when you're rolling in late.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a quirky, social space
  • Solo travelers chasing that epic setlist
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend getaway
  • Fans who want to recharge away from the bustle
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want style

Food and Drink Options

On-site, you’ll find a restaurant and bar perfect for pre-show bites or a nightcap. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the minibars in every room are a nice touch for late-night cravings. Breakfast isn’t noted, but nearby local spots and quick eats are just a few minutes away by car.

Nightlife Options

The Dive Motel’s own bar is a destination in itself—think neon lights, curated playlists, and a lively crowd. It’s a great place to keep the night going or meet fellow fans. Plus, you're close to East Nashville’s buzzing bar scene if you want to explore more local favorites after the show.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unique decor, retro charm, and friendly service. The pool and spa facilities are standout features, especially for post-concert recovery. Many mention the easy access to downtown Nashville and the overall fun atmosphere that sets this hotel apart from cookie-cutter chains.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms can be on the cozy side, and the motel-style layout means you might hear some outdoor noise. But hey—that’s part of the vibe. If you’re a light sleeper, pack some earplugs and enjoy the aesthetic.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting a stylish, fun, and music-loving base near Nashville’s top venues, The Dive Motel and Swim Club hits all the right notes.

Good

Liked: Very friendly staff and great curation on aesthetics! Easy parking. Would book again!
Disliked: The sound. There was comedy night one night and there was a bunch of people hanging out till a certain point (which was totally fine with me) But then, on another night, one of my neighbors was blasting EDM music at 4am and that was very unfortunate for me since I had a work meeting in the morning. I would book here for fun absolutely but not for a work trip.

No other option in Nashville...

Liked: Fantastic vibes. Bar. Pool. Room. Swing Dancing with excellent live band. Owner/creator Lyon Porter and Jersey Banks have their finger on the pulse of style.Fun with capital F.
Disliked: Loved everything. Just check with the hotel regarding food options. Some of the information on the hotel says they offer breakfast lunch and dinner. For our stay there was one food truck that offered tacos until 6 PM. Tacos were outstanding! However, if we had arrived after 6PM we would have been disappointed to learn there were no other options. Just call so you can be prepared

We wont stay here again….

Liked: Unique design of motel - good retro feel. Bed was comfy.
Disliked: Room was too dark to see anything. Bathroom felt a little grubby and DJ music was REALLY loud mid-morning. Completely un-necessary at 10am.
