The Chloe Nashville
Review
Character and identity
The Chloe Nashville occupies two restored 1920s Craftsman cottages in Hillsboro Village, buildings with genuine recording history (Asylum Records, Spirit Music, sessions by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Chris Stapleton). The 19 rooms feel residential rather than hotel-standard, with exposed brick floors, vintage fireplaces, custom furniture and Marshall record players. A Gulf Coast restaurant from chef Matt Regan anchors the food side, backed by three bars, an espresso bar, and a leafy pool with a seasonal bar. Service runs warm and unbuttoned, a Southern hospitality register that leans on familiarity over polish.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples, solo travellers, and design-minded out-of-towners who want a neighbourhood stay over a downtown one. It suits guests drawn to food, music history, and lingering in art-filled parlours with a cocktail; the music-industry crowd that drifts through adds to the appeal rather than disrupting it.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young kids, anyone wanting a full-service big-hotel experience (spa, gym, concierge polish), and travellers whose priority is Broadway honky-tonks and downtown proximity. With only 19 rooms and a social ground floor, those after anonymity or quiet seclusion will feel out of step.
Bottom line
What sets this place apart is the rare alignment of building, neighbourhood, and operator: a small hotel that feels genuinely embedded in Hillsboro Village rather than parachuted in. Book it if you want Nashville on foot and food and drink that locals actually turn up for. Spring for the George Suite if you want space, or any room with a fireplace and balcony.
