Take in the bookish surroundings at our lobby-level café, Poindexter, and fuel your muse with a caffeinated beverage or two.

Whether you’re in town to cheer on the Commodores, honky tonk your way up Broadway (and beyond) or get a taste of Nashville’s eclectic food scene, we’re here to make your stay memorable.
