Graduate Nashville

Graduate Nashville at 101 20th Ave N sits in the Vanderbilt and West End corridor of Nashville, Tennessee, a residential and academic neighborhood approximately 2 miles west of the downtown Broadway entertainment district. The Graduate Hotels brand creates university-adjacent boutique properties with design identities drawn from each host campus's history and culture; the Nashville location draws on Vanderbilt University's athletic and academic heritage, incorporating Commodore memorabilia, collegiate pennants, and campus photography across its public spaces and guest rooms. The result is a hotel that feels genuinely specific to its neighborhood rather than interchangeable with other mid-range properties. Accommodations span Standard, Studio Suite, and Suite categories, with most rooms offering views across the West End neighborhood. Rooms include adjustable lighting, streaming-capable TVs, and USB charging. The dog-friendly policy extends to all room types. Bike rentals are available from the hotel for exploring Vanderbilt's tree-lined campus and Centennial Park — home to a full-scale Parthenon replica — a short ride away. The rooftop bar serves cocktails and light bites with views across the surrounding residential and academic neighborhood toward the downtown Nashville skyline. A game room on an upper floor offers billiards, pinball, and shuffleboard for on-site entertainment. A compact fitness center is available. The hotel does not have a restaurant serving full meals beyond morning coffee service, though the West End neighborhood provides extensive dining within walking distance, spanning Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, sushi, pizza, and American options at a range of price points. Vanderbilt University Medical Center is within walking distance, making the property a practical choice for families of patients at the nearby medical complex. A 10-minute ride-share connects the hotel to Nashville's downtown entertainment core.
