Our HotelPlanner expert reviews of Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville at Vanderbilt
Our experts HotelPlanner experts periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Good Location and Good Hotel"
Overall score4.5/ 5
If you want to stay in the downtown area and feel pampered this is the hotel for you. The four-star Embassy Suites offers a stunning atrium with ample seating for
business meetings or relaxing alike. You can also eat or order room service from the on-site Omaha Steakhouse Restaurant & Bar. Every morning you get a cooked-to-order breakfast, and in the evening there is a reception with appetizers and drinks. The icing on the cake is that the hotel is being renovated one floor at a time, with three already complete. Rooms are spacious, and the location is great. There is no pool onsite, but you do get a fitness center, hot tub, sauna and outdoor patio.

"Great hotel staff."
Overall score5.0/ 5
The hotel was very clean and the staff was very attentive to every detail. From Richard and Hannah answering all of our questions about touring downtown to Tony M. and Matt driving the shuttle bus going above and beyond with customer service. We feel like we made friends to see again the next time we visit and we will hope to stay here again! Just a wonderful experience from all of the staff.

"Great hotel for overnight business trip."
Overall score5.0/ 5
The hotel was convenient to our meeting. Our reservations were in order when we arrived and the valet took care of the car. We were able to utilize the shuttle for dinner so we didn't need to retrieve our car until checkout. The managers reception is always a bonus. We needed some copies for our presentation the next day and the front desk took care of it promptly. We will use this hotel again because of the excellent service and convenience.
