It took the developers of Hotel Indigo Nashville a while to transform a blocky concrete office building into a hotel with style, but the wait was worth it. We got to spend the night in room 710 (see the video tour here), spreading out in a city view room with plenty of attractive lighting, a hip living room with nods to the 1950s, and free WiFi that actually worked in multiple locations.
But first, what does it look like? Find out after the jump.
You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable. Help out your fellow hotel mavens by uploading your anti-views to the HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool, or by sending the photo along to us. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number with the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes view.
We've mentioned The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville before because of its spacious rooms and A-list guests. (Cameron Diaz just spent a couple nights there, sans Justin, of course.) And anywhere that Jack White stays has got to be good. But there's even more reason to check it out: The Hermitage recently garnered a Mobil Five Star Rating.
With the new award, The Hermitage is now one of only 27 US hotels with five stars from both Mobil and AAA. It's a regional powerhouse, too--the nearest hotel with similar stats is in Atlanta.
The Hermitage also tends to have some pretty solid deals. We told you about one in June--call the hotel directly and ask about any specials that might be coming up. Final bonus: it's an easily stumble-able two blocks north of the Broadway honkytonks.
