The Union Station Nashville Yards is a finely appointed boutique hotel offering modern-day time travelers a true Nashville experience, offering unprecedented insight into the city’s past, present and future. The former train station, established in 1900, was a bustling terminal on the L&N Railroad. The imposing Gothic design – complete with turrets and towers – made The Union Station an architectural marvel in its day.
Since 1986, The Union Station Nashville Yards has been a luxury boutique hotel and special event destination. We are a member of the Historic Hotels of America designated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The turn-of-the-century landmark serves as an awe-inspiring reminder of the romance and grandeur of a bygone era.
Look around and soak up the historical charm of our distinctive setting. Travel through time, yet live firmly in the moment, as you admire heavy-stone Richardsonian-Romanesque design and a clock tower featuring a statue of Mercy, the Roman god of shopkeepers, merchants, travelers and transporters of goods. Walk beneath the 65-foot-high, barrel-vaulted lobby ceiling, featuring gold-leaf medallions and 100-year-old, original luminous prism stained glass. Cross marble floors, pass through oak-accented doors and walls, and warm yourself by three limestone fireplaces. Don’t miss the 20 gold-accented bas-relief angels of commerce figurines and the 2 bas-relief panels – a steam locomotive and a traveling chariot – at each end of the lobby.
