The Omni Nashville, in Nashville’s downtown area, is a good option for families who want to explore the major country music sights. The extensive convention center-like property adjoins the Country Music Hall of Fame, and features shops and restaurants in the lobby as well as a fantastic gym, an outdoor pool and a spa. Certainly, the amenities are not lacking, and as a result, the property hosts a lot of tour groups and conferences, making the massive lobby quite busy at times (the valet stand often has a queue, along with the reception area). Additionally, there is a whole floor dedicated to these groups with large conference rooms and spaces, making the crowds impossible to miss for leisure travelers staying at the hotel.

The Omni has an enormous amount of rooms and suites (over 800 in all). The accommodations on high floors have fantastic city views, and are spacious and comfortable. For those who can splurge, it is worth booking a suite. The décor in the rooms and suites is somewhat obvious (one wall in my rooms featured a less-than-subtle graphic depiction of the Tennessee Williams quote, “In memory, everything seems to happen to music”) but if you’re staying at the Omni, you’re there to experience the city in all its honky-tonk glory. And, for families, the outdoor pool and hot tub cannot be beat.

Business travelers and families who want an outdoor pool and kid-friendly amenities. Though large and sprawling, this hotel has all of the comforts and amenities of a corporate hotel, great for families and groups visiting Music City.
