Skip Leaf Peeping, This Southern City is Perfect for Fall

With hints of college football, coveted concerts and Saturday BBQs in the air, Nashville—consistently ranked as a top U.S. destination celebrated for its award-winning restaurants, access to live music, top-tier museums, and cultural attractions—transforms into a vibrant hub of cultural celebration, making it the ideal destination for fall festival enthusiasts.

From the celebrated Nashville Film Festival and Nashville Whiskey Festival to the Tennessee Beer & Wine Festival and the Americana Music Festival & Conference, the city offers an array of unique festivals across music, food and beverage and culture for every type of traveler.

A perfect jumping-off point for all the action Thompson Nashville, the Gulch’s first luxury hotel longtime trendsetter in the market. Celebrated as a boutique luxury mainstay for the city, Thompson Nashville welcomes guests with its creative southern spirit and handcrafted, modern experience that is both nostalgic and fashion forward.

What’s new at the Thompson for Fall 2024?  

• Erich Church Partnership: Celebrating the spirit of Music City, Thompson Nashville recently debuted a partnership with 10-time GRAMMY nominee Eric Church. The partnership features a carefully curated selection of vinyl records, created by Church exclusively for Thompson Nashville, available for guests to enjoy via the newly added in-room Victrola record players found in all suites and the hotel’s sprawling Penthouse.
• Whiskey + Vinyl Sessions: Hosted in Thompson Nashville’s sprawling Penthouse Suite with views spanning the city’s skyline, guests are guided by Tennessee Whiskey and Vinyl Guru AJ Soldo through the history of whiskey in the Southeast.
• In partnership with WeMoke – the first of any hotel in the state – Thompson Nashville offers a fun and fresh take on the traditional “house car.” Originally made famous in the 1950’s by icons such as Brigitte Bardot, Princess Margaret, Emperor Rosko and the Beach Boys, the open-air Moke’s have recently been reimagined for the modern age for a ride that’s fully electric—and now travelers and locals can cruise in them through the streets of Nashville this summer.
