Although commonly linked with honky-tonk bars, fried foods, and bachelorette parties, a more luxurious side of Nashville is quickly picking up steam. Anchoring this shift is The Joseph Nashville, a 297-room hotel in the SoBro neighborhood.
The Joseph is only four blocks south of the nightlife scene on Broadway, but it feels like a world away with a spa; rooftop pool; world-class art collection; and high-end, Italian-inspired restaurant. The first sign this is a luxury hotel greets you at the porte-cochere where a London cab parked in front of a living greenery wall flaunts Burberry upholstery. Adjacent is an LED display with installations paired to the time of day.
