Nashville has 5 hotels ranked in the finehotels.world index. Four Seasons Hotel Nashville leads on prestige score at 5.99 out of 10, followed by The Hermitage Hotel and 1 Hotel Nashville. Of those, 5 hold MICHELIN Keys.
Nashville's ranked hotels are recent arrivals, with one significant exception, and they reflect a decade of rapid downtown construction. Five properties appear in this index, all holding MICHELIN Keys and two at two Keys, no Forbes ratings recorded.
The Hermitage Hotel opened in 1910 and served as headquarters for both sides of the 1920 suffrage fight over Tennessee's ratifying vote; its Art Deco lobby restroom remains locally famous. Four Seasons Hotel Nashville occupies a tower in the SoBro district south of Broadway, and 1 Hotel Nashville sits nearby with reclaimed timber interiors. Soho House Nashville took over a former trolley barn in Wedgewood-Houston, the city's gallery and studio quarter, while Southall Farm and Inn spreads across farmland in Franklin, roughly forty minutes south.

Downtown and SoBro put visitors between Broadway's honky-tonks, the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame; the Gulch and Wedgewood-Houston trade proximity for design-led rooms and better restaurants; Germantown and the Franklin countryside suit longer, slower stays away from the amplified strip.
April, May, September and October give the best weather and the fullest hotels, with CMA Fest in June and major football weekends producing sharp local peaks; July and August humidity and the quiet weeks of January thin the crowds.

Each hotel is scored on a fixed formula built only from award facts, then shown on a scale of 5.00 to 10.00. MICHELIN Keys carry the most weight, a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating adds a flat six points, placements in The World's 50 Best Hotels for 2023, 2024 and 2025 are weighted equally, and a La Liste rating moves the total slightly. Nothing a hotel supplies about itself enters the score, and the full formula is published on the methodology page so any figure in the table can be reproduced from the awards beside it.
