Noelle Nashville, situated in the heart of downtown and surrounded by many of the amazing things that makes our city so special, is one of our city's top boutique hotels.  If you read my post about MAKEREADY, you have already gotten a glimpse into how special Noelle Nashville is.

Today I am sharing a bit more about their standard rooms and soon I will be sharing a glimpse into one of their gorgeous suites should you wish to stay in a suite instead.

Part of what makes Noelle Nashville so special is its very chic style and what you see from first entering the hotel (the inviting chic and urban lobby) you get an immediate feel for what the rooms will look like as well.

All of their standard rooms have king sized beds in them!  For those of you that travel often, you know that most rooms have double beds and if there are two beds in a standard room, they are almost ALWAYS a double bed.  I've personally never stayed at a hotel that offers two king sized beds in a standard room...have you?!  I do think this sets Noelle Nashville apart from some others.  Having a bit more space when you sleep, especially if you are sharing the room with friends, family, or another couple having a bit more space is so important!

Their rooms are so crisp and clean too!  It is minimally decorated, which I appreciate because it offers a sense of peace in my opinion.  The beds are super comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious and have all of the modern conveniences too!

I highly recommend that you consider Noelle Nashville when planning a staycation or when planning your next trip to Nashville.  I think you will be so pleased and truly enjoy your stay at the boutique property!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!  Stay tuned for more Nashville experiences...I hope you are taking note and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to comment below or send me a direct message!

MakeReady at Noelle Nashville - Dining Experience Review

I recently spent some time at Noelle Nashville, a beautiful chic boutique hotel in downtown Nashville, and I had a great dining experience at MAKEREADY!  Noelle is situated right near the well known Printer's Alley area and MAKEREADY is located on the ground floor of the hotel.

MAKEREADY aims to provide a comfortable relaxed dining experience, much like that of a modern day tavern tailored to both men and women.  The decor is unique and it certainly compliments the overall tavern feel.  There are these beautiful panel windows on one wall and as you dine, looking up at the bustling Nashville street above you, you feel that you are tucked away from the crowds.  It's gives you the feel that you can see the people above but they can't see you...like a secret nook or a great hiding place!

We enjoyed a meat and cheese board first, which was delicious (pictured above)!  We asked our waiter to make pairing recommendations for our charcuterie board, which he did, and it was perfect.  From the high quality cheeses to the delicious meat to the seasonal chutney, it was a great way to start off our meal.  

We then tried the butter lettuce salad!  We really liked the texture and flavors of this salad.  The puffed Farro added such a unique twist to this salad.  And I can't deny the delicious pear  topping was such a delicious compliment to all of the other flavors.

After indulging in a delicious charcuterie board and butter lettuce salad, we tried the rotisserie chicken and the steak with the red chimichurri sauce.  Both were served with french fries, as we were there for lunch, but from my understanding the dinner portion is served with pickled vegetables.

The rotisserie chicken had a nice smokey, a touch spicey, with a little sweet sauce over top it.  The flavor was delicious and the sauce brought the most perfect amount of heat (it was very subtle ;-).  It was cooked perfectly and we really enjoyed the easy of being able to eat with our fingers when necessary!

And the chimichurri steak...wow, talk about flavorful!  The steak was served with a side of french fries and for dinner, it would be served with charred onions!  We really enjoyed the tenderness of the steak and the spices/sauce was delicious!

From the location of MAKEREADY, to the relaxed warm environment, on to the food, I definitely recommend that you add this to your list of restaurants to try.  Noelle is another beautiful boutique hotel option to consider when staying in Nashville and if you navigate your way down to MAKEREADY, enjoy a great meal and some delicious beverages too!  Oh...and be aware of the corners that you turn while down there...you may just run into a really unique hidden patron space! ;-)

Are you enjoying learning more about some of my favorite places in Nashville?!  I sure hope so!

Stay tuned for more about Noelle...I have a post coming up sharing more about their guest rooms as well as their gorgeous rooftop bar called Rare Bird!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

One of the questions that I get asked most is "Where should I stay when visiting Nashville?" and today, I'm going to be sharing a bit about Thompson Nashville, a chic boutique hotel nestled in the hear of The Gulch area of Nashville.

Thompson Nashville is a part of Thompson Hotels and I've got to say, it's one of my favorite local spots for so many reasons.  Thompson Nashville is nestled in one of the most popular spots of Nashville...The Gulch.  This area offers great shopping and dining experiences at some of Nashville's top restaurants.  If staying at Thompson Nashville, you can walk to so many great spots within The Gulch...no Uber needed, which is a plus if you ask me.  I don't know about you but I love exploring a city by foot any chance that I get.  You can always see and experience so much more that way.

I'm certain you will be impressed by the boutique look and feel of Thompson Nashville.  From the warm inviting lobby to the chic modern yet comfortable feel of their guest rooms & suites, you are sure to feel the southern charm that Thompson Nashville exudes.

As I mentioned, the rooms are chic and modern but they do not lack the comforts of home.  You are sure to get a great nights sleep and feel "at home" with the amenities that Thompson Nashville offers.

Thompson Nashville has a restaurant, Marsh House, on property and they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner!  You MUST dine in at Marsh House while staying at the hotel.  Their food is divine...southern with a touch of Louisiana flare!  I wrote a full review on Marsh House so if you want to learn more about my amazing dining experience...read that post HERE!

One of the most popular spots for locals and visitors is L.A. Jackson Bar, which is on the rooftop of Thompson Nashville.  Part of the bar is enclosed and the other half is open air which showcases beautiful views of The Gulch and downtown Nashville.  L.A. Jackson is hard to beat on when the weather is great here in Nashville.  You can expect it to be busy from Spring through Fall!  

L.A. Jackson offers an amazing selection of southern beers as well as an eclectic collection of wine.  Not to mention, their Frose is the best I've ever had...a MUST!  While spending time at L.A. Jackson, you can also order light bites if you want something to snack on while enjoying a specialty cocktail.  Read more about L.A. Jackson HERE!

If you need a good cup of coffee to get your day started, don't forget to stop by Killebrew, which is located inside the lobby of Thompson Nashville.  Coffee is spot on and so is there latte art!

Have I caught your attention yet?  You've got to see and experience Thompson Nashville for yourself!  It's really a one of a kind boutique hotel experience that I know you will LOVE as much as I do!  

To sum Thompson Nashville up...they are a southern boutique hotel that offers some of the best accommodations and dining experiences with top notch customer service!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

L.A. Jackson - Nashville Rooftop Bar

Spring is near which means everyone will be coming out of hibernation soon and enjoy more sunshine, longer days, and hopefully much warmer temps!  Nashvillians and visitors alike will begin to fill outdoor restaurants tables for apps & drinks after work, weekend dinners, and evenings out on the town.

One of my personal favorite spots to spend time (from Spring through Fall) is L.A Jackson at Thompson Nashville, which is located in the Gulch.  L.A. Jackson is known for it's chic rooftop bar and it's delicious craft cocktails!  They also offer small plates if you want to enjoy an app while enjoying one of their craft cocktails.  Their frose is one of my personal favorites...you've got to try it, soooooo good!

The bar is large and spacious...there are plenty of places to sit inside and there is an open walkway that opens up to the rooftop bar.  Once out on the rooftop, you will be able to find cozy benches and chairs that create an inviting space so you can truly enjoy a great evening out!

If traveling to Nashville, you must stop by L.A. Jackson to enjoy the views and one of their craft cocktails.  I suggest that you eat at Marsh House first and then make your way up to the rooftop.  If you missed my post about Marsh House, also in Thompson Nashville, you can check that out HERE.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Girls Night In at 506 Lofts

Photos || Jessica Steddom

Girls night in at one of the coolest downtown Nashville lofts??? Yes and YES!  It didn't take long for me to say yes when Blogger friend Alexis of Alexis Teichmiller asked me to join her and Larz (Blogger of Livin Like Larz) for a girls night in at 506 Lofts in downtown Nashville.

This busy Momma needs girls nights on the regular and being able to spend the night away while my Hubby held down the fort was just what I needed.  And after all, knowing Alexis and Larz, I knew the night would be so much fun and time well spent.

We arrived at our loft, #303, in the early evening and we quickly found ourselves settling in.  The loft was AMAZING...industrial rustic with a modern edge and it incorporated lots of Tennessee touches too!  Many of the furniture pieces are handmade by local craftsmen and the art is fabulous!

It didn't take long for us to plop down and dive into a variety of topics.  We talked a lot about blogging (that's what Blogger's do when they get together) but we also talked about so many other personal topics as well.  The conversation was amazing and we ended up laughing so much.  Talk about inspiration and fueling one's soul...wow!

We also cooked, we ate, and we drank wine...the perfect girls night in!

Whether you live locally and are thinking of a staycation or you are traveling in for a visit, you should definitely check out 506 Lofts and consider staying in one of their gorgeous unique spaces.  They are located right downtown so you can walk to everything!   Plus staying in one of their lofts would be such a different experience (great experience I should add) rather than staying in a hotel.  Something to think about next time you stay downtown Nashville!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
