Accommodating Nashville

Until last month, I hadn’t been to Nashville in about 20 years, so I had no idea where to stay. (I thought maybe at Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s place, but apparently they don’t run a B&B.) So, my producer suggested that my wife and I stay close to Music Row, in Midtown, at the Hutton Hotel.

Sure, I thought. Why not?

But oh my, what a great decision.

The Hutton is a remarkable boutique hotel. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful (no gloomy attitude or forced smiles here, no sir). And I loved the touches: a great “instant espresso” machine on our floor, handwritten weather forecasts for the next day on our pillow each night, a shower that felt like a waterfall, fabulous complimentary wine as we arrived back at the hotel each evening, the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in (when you’re thinking about how three days of intense recording will go and yet you still have get great sleeps each night, that’s because you’re in a Great Bed.)

All of that, plus the fact that, if you need to do music business in Nashville, you’re literally just minutes from Music City’s business epicenter.

Maybe the best recommendation I can give is that, when I go back to Nashville, I’m staying at the Hutton.

(And no, I'm not being paid to say all those nice things :)

P.S. I just discovered that reviewers from Time, The Wall Street Journal, U.S. News & World Report and others like this place, too!
