DRURY PLAZA HOTEL NASHVILLE DOWNTOWN, Nashville

The Drury Plaza is located just 2-3 blocks from Nashville's iconic Broadway strip, within a 5-minute walk to Bridgestone Arena, the Johnny Cash Museum, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The Ryman Auditorium and Ascend Amphitheater are also close by. While the area is vibrant, the immediate vicinity includes a secure hotel entrance with key-card access. For airport transfers, Nashville International Airport is 8 km away; the hotel does not operate a shuttle.

Accommodation options include Deluxe rooms (floors 9-19) and Superior rooms (floors 20-22) with city or river views. All king rooms have showers only; bathtubs are available in selected suites. Family rooms and suites feature sofa beds, and some suites have separate living areas. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, safe, ironing facilities, and a work desk. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Rooms are clean and reasonably spacious, though the closet space is limited for longer stays. Some air-conditioning and refrigerator units have been reported as inconsistent.

Breakfast (available for an additional $8) is a hot buffet with scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, pancakes, fresh fruit, and yogurt - with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options provided. The 5:30 Kickback runs from 5:30-7 p.m. daily, offering a full hot meal (e.g., meatballs, pulled pork sliders, tacos) plus three free drinks per person. The on-site restaurant, K+B, serves dinner and drinks. The buffet-style food is basic but plentiful. For a wider selection, numerous restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.

The hotel features an indoor/outdoor swimming pool that is open year-round, along with an indoor whirlpool hot tub. The pool area has sun loungers and offers a good space to relax in cooler weather. A 24-hour fitness centre with modern equipment is available for guests. The pool opens at 9 a.m.; some have noted that the water temperature can be warm and the pool area can become busy with children.
