The Grand Hyatt Nashville has quickly turned into one of my favorite Nashville hotels. I’ve stayed a quite a few of them, and I’d say the Grand Hyatt threads the needle on providing an outstanding location with modern rooms, a rooftop bar, pool, and a clutch club level. I’ve visited the hotel twice recently, once in a suite, and another time in a standard room. Both were on points as a Globalist, and I left feeling the same way on both stays…I’m definitely coming back.
Let’s take a look at the Grand Hyatt Nashville Experience
- Rates usually are in the $200 to $500+ depending on the season
- Point rates are category 6 so 22k to 27k
- Globalist get breakfast in the lounge, free parking, and if the hotel isn’t packed a suite upgrade and 4pm check out

The location
You are right off 24 which cuts through Nashville, and one part of the hotel overlooks Broadway. You’re roughly a 10 min walk to the thick of the honkie tonks, and if you cross the bridge in the other direction you’re headed to the Gulch. It’s a great location.
Check In
The hotel is massive, and it almost feels like you’re checking into Casino like property with the high ceilings, multiple valet attendants, live music playing, large open bar adjacent to the front desk, and people draped across the lobby furniture nursing the wounds of the weekend. lol.
The Room
These are pretty standard new Grand Hyatt rooms. I don’t think they’re particularly unique to Nashville aside from some magazines and art on the wall. They feel new, fresh, but cookie cutter. I don’t mind that, but you’re not getting character from a Grand Hyatt.
My first stay was with my dad and we got a two double bed room – as you can see we had a lot of light
Double vanity bathroom with a large shower.
Robes, products, storage
The Suite – Broadway Corner Suite
Large, separate living room, and ideal if you’re a few people or you have a suite upgrade and wanting to have a fun weekend. The views from the living room are great, and when I stayed in this suite it was the result of my buddy Dave using a suite upgrade.
King bed and you needed to walk through the bedroom to the bathroom which isn’t great when you’re sharing the room with someone and sleeping in the living room.
The living room had ample space with corner views across Nashville, a separate desk, and we even brought in a rollaway bed.
The Executive Lounge
This is uncharacteristically located on the lobby level just behind the Hummingbird coffee shop, next to the big open bar.
The entrance
It’s a decent size, really nicely appointed and handsome lounge with its own built in bar.
There are food presentations around breakfast and then again in the evening. Check the hotel to see exact times.
One thing to note. Your Gloablist breakfast is here, and if you go to the restaurant, you’ll be paying for it on your bill. We made that mistake, and honestly, its not worth paying for it vs the lounge. If the lounge doesn’t suffice, I’d grab breakfast elsewhere vs the hotel restaurant since there so many great brunch spots in Nashville
A few examples what you can expect to get
Dining
As I mentioned, we did have breakfast here and while it was very good, unless you’re specifically craving what’s on the menu..I’d consider all your nearby options.
Three things I think Nashville does great: Shrimp and grits, Nashville Hot Chicken, and Old Fashioneds. The shrimp and grits were pretty tasty tbh.
Rooftop Bar
This is a very cool spot and one I’d come to even if I wasn’t staying at the hotel.
Fire pits, wrap around terrace, sliding doors, it’s a cool venue. We watched the sunset up here before heading out for the night and sipped a couple of Old Fashioneds.
Pool and Gym
Great gym, and a rooftop styled pool.
Gym is next to the Spa
Both times I’ve visited it’s been cold and thus, no one was at the pool
Overall
Definitely will be back, and its great that Globlist get free parking which would otherwise set you back $60 a night and is valet only. Yikes!
