The Hilton Suites Downtown really are in a prime position for anyone who has come to Nashville for the country music. Just across the parking lot is the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Strip, where you'll find world-famous bars such as Roberts and the Black Orchid around the corner. It's also a stone's throw from the Cumberland River, and over the water is the American football stadium.
The hotel is a many-storied building with an impressive entrance, where you are faced with two glass elevators taking you up to the rooms. Reception staff were friendly and helpful and made us very welcome.
The suites comprise a living area and a bedroom with two comfortable double beds and a large bathroom (large walk-in shower, but no bath). There were TVs in the bedroom and the living area, where there was also a coffee/tea-making machine and a minibar/fridge.
Breakfast is a buffet affair with oodles to choose from - fresh fruit, eggs done in loads of different ways (including a jalapeno omelette - the other half loved this!), bacon, grits (my favourite), different juices, cereals - you name it, it was there!
The hotel also has a sports bar (hugely busy when there are matches on TV), a quieter lounger area, a small shop, and lots of car parking.
My only gripe is that the pillows were feather ones, which I am VERY allergic to, and no alternatives were available. I couldn't really believe that such an establishment would be unable to provide this simple request.
Otherwise, I would recommend this highly for anyone in Nashville for country music. There are few shops nearby, but this is the place to be close to for great music and attractions.
