Nashville is a special place for me, and I visit annually to soak in its vibrant culture and music scene. As the go-to Nashville expert for my friends, family and coworkers, I’ve curated a running list of the best places to stay, eat and explore in the city over the years. I ensure that every visit is filled with insider recommendations and unforgettable experiences. During my visit to the JW Marriott Nashville in July, I was captivated by the hotel’s modern design and prime location in the heart of the city. The property offers a perfect blend of luxury and Southern charm, with spacious rooms and top-tier amenities.
