Heart of 12 South + Rooftop + Full Kitchen | 4BR Suite at #1 Hotel in Nashville
WELCOME TO THE GILMORE
Award-winning and guest-loved, The Gilmore is #1 out of 235 hotels on TripAdvisor, Top 1% on Airbnb, 4.9 stars on Google, and ranked #3 in the South by Southern Living.
European leisure meets Southern charm at The Gilmore — 12 South's first full-service hotel, where Mediterranean-inspired design sets the tone: breezy courtyards built for gathering, a warm lobby, and the kind of small, considered details that make you slow down. And because there's a real team on site, the hospitality here is hands-on, not a help line in another city — right down to a smooth, easy check-in.
Explore Music City Set in the heart of 12 South, you're in one of Nashville's most walkable, well-loved neighborhoods, with artisanal boutiques, easygoing cafes, and some of the city's most talked-about restaurants right outside the door. Start the morning with coffee at Frothy Monkey directly across the street, then wander to neighborhood favorites like Burger Up and the Jeni's Ice Cream scoop shop, all an easy stroll away. Downtown is about a ten-minute drive or a quick rideshare, putting the Ryman Auditorium and the honky-tonks of Broadway within easy reach, and the Grand Ole Opry sits roughly fifteen to twenty minutes northeast out by Opry Mills. Come for the live music or the Southern cooking — the city's energy is right there either way.
Four Bedroom Suite w/ Balcony - This four-bedroom suite is built for groups who want space without sacrificing polish. Two king bedrooms and two queen bedrooms — all dressed with blackout curtains for genuinely restful sleep — anchor the layout, alongside three full bathrooms. The spacious living area centers on a 65" Samsung Frame TV and a sleeper sofa, with large windows pulling in plenty of natural light. A full-sized kitchen (stove, microwave, sink, fridge) makes it easy to whip up breakfast or pour a nightcap, and a private balcony offers a quiet moment with morning coffee.
Modern Conveniences Every stay comes with the touches that make a trip easier: full-size toiletries, a dedicated workspace, a Nespresso maker with tea, branded robes, and a clothing steamer for keeping things crisp.
Room to Spread Out Beyond your room, the building gives you space to gather. The Skyline Terrace serves up rooftop views of the 12 South skyline — bistro tables for a morning coffee, lounge seating for lingering past sunset, and room for up to 50. Down below, the Poet's Courtyard is a leafy, tucked-away spot with a community table, quieter nooks, and the easy option of ordering in from neighboring restaurants; it holds up to 190. And the Gilmore Room is an adaptable indoor space for up to 33, equally suited to a meeting, a wellness session, or a private gathering.
In-Room Spa When you'd rather not leave at all, in-room spa services come to you — massages, IV drips, and more, arranged around your schedule for an easy reset after a travel day or a night out.
Made for Groups Planning something bigger? The Gilmore is built for it. Book multiple rooms, a full floor, or the whole hotel, with an on-site events manager to handle vendor options, recommendations, and coordination — wedding, corporate retreat, bachelor or bachelorette weekend, or group getaway. Between the event spaces and the 12 South location, the setting does a lot of the work for you.

The Gilmore is located in the perfect neighborhood! There is so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The property was clean with so many special amenities. The staff was fabulous! We had the coziest robes in each room and we loved our towel warmers! The property booked us in room massages as well which was wonderful!

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about this—we really appreciate the feedback. We're sorry the early morning noise took away from an otherwise restful stay, and we've passed this along to the team to look into. We hope you'll give us another chance to host you down the road!
Amazing location for our group of 6 including 2 teens. Clean bathrooms and overall amazingly clean too. Location is everything
