The 1 Hotel Nashville: A Sustainable Luxury Haven in Music City
We touched down from NYC to Nashville, Tennessee early Christmas morning and headed straight to the 1 Hotel Nashville. We were warmly welcomed and accommodated early check-in making the start to our holiday seamless. The 1 Hotel Nashville is more than just a place to stay; it is an immersive experience that redefines luxury and sustainability. Having stayed at the 1 Hotel in Manhattan we were looking forward to our Nashville experience. Located at 710 Demonbreun Street, this eco-conscious sanctuary captures the spirit of Music City while promoting a deep connection to nature and the environment. Whether you’re visiting for business, leisure, or a taste of Nashville’s vibrant culture, the 1 Hotel Nashville offers a unique blend of comfort, style, and sustainability that sets it apart from other hotels.
A Green Commitment in the Heart of the City
From the moment we approached the ivy-covered facade, it’s clear that 1 Hotel Nashville is no ordinary establishment. Adorned with 56,000 plants, the building’s green exterior not only makes a striking visual statement but also contributes to air purification and urban cooling. This commitment to sustainability extends throughout the hotel, where reclaimed woods, native greenery, and organic materials dominate the decor. The design ethos seamlessly marries luxury with environmental stewardship, creating an atmosphere that feels both serene and inspiring.
Inside, the guest rooms and suites continue this theme with thoughtfully curated furnishings, natural textures, and neutral color palettes. Large windows let in ample natural light, further enhancing the connection to the outdoors. Eco-friendly practices are integrated into every aspect of the hotel’s operations, from energy-efficient systems to the elimination of single-use plastics. Even the smallest details, such as biodegradable key cards and in-room recycling bins, reflect the hotel’s mission to prioritize the planet.

The emphasis on holistic well-being ensures that guests leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.
Farm-to-Table Dining at 1 Kitchen

Complementing the food, the beverage program offers organic wines, locally brewed beers, and craft cocktails infused with herbs grown on-site.
