Inspired by Nashville’s industrial past, craftsmanship, and southern hospitality, the JW Marriott Nashville exudes are fined, masculine aesthetic with rich color schemes while integrating the warmth and comforts of a southern home. Subtle nods to the city’s history are present throughout the hotel with the use of blackened steel accents and rich cognac leather details as well as Nashville’s indigenous woods, oak and hickory.

Upon entry, guests arrive through a wooden envelope imagined as a “firefly jar,” referencing one of Tennessee's state symbols with 232 hanging glass pendants that float overhead. In the lobby, marble flooring and oak bookshelves lining the walls evoke a residential feel while seating groups surrounding the floor-to-ceiling Portoro black marble fireplace lend to a sense of intimacy. Beyond the lobby, guests can relax at the Kenya black marble topped bar or in the upscale living room with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel’s expansive event spaces and luxurious spa complete the public space program. Residential-style guestrooms incorporate pale wood paneling with pops of deep earth tones and contemporary bronze finishes.
