ELEMENT BY MARRIOTT NASHVILLE VANDERBILT WEST END, Nashville

The hotel sits within oneC1TY, a modern, walkable development with a green space, sand volleyball courts, and nearby dining (Pastaria, AVO, SandBar all within 0.5 km). Centennial Park is a 12-minute walk away. Downtown attractions like the Ryman Auditorium and Broadway are a short free shuttle ride or a 10-minute Uber trip. Nashville International Airport is 13 km away. Public transit (bus/trolley) to downtown is easily accessible from the hotel.

Accommodations range from studios to one-bedroom suites, all featuring a well-equipped kitchen with stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, and kitchenware. Rooms include a tea and coffee maker, seating area, wardrobe, and a flat-screen TV with streaming services. Many rooms offer city views, and select suites have a balcony. The sofa beds in one-bedroom rooms are thin and uncomfortable, with visible springs; booking a room with two queen beds or a suite with a separate bedroom is a much more comfortable choice for families or groups.
