We Paid /night

Including room rate, taxes and mandatory resort fees

What does ""We Paid"" mean?

Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruise ships.

Here are five things to know about us:

1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Just two blocks from the bustle of Broadway sits a sophisticated haven for rest, relaxation and recognized dining experiences at JW Marriott Nashville. A distinctive oval-shaped, 33-story glass tower houses the hotel, a spa, a rooftop pool, three restaurants and more. With sleek and classic designs paired with gold and bronze metalwork in the walls, décor and furniture, the hotel’s aesthetic intentionally mimics the flow of the nearby Cumberland River.

The property's 533 rooms offer spacious accommodations with floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase some of Nashville's most famous landmarks. At the same time, dining experiences give a subtle ode to Tennessee with the use of locally owned or made products and ingredients. The downtown Nashville hotel is home to the city's highest rooftop restaurant and bar helmed by well-known chef Michael Mina. His open-air Bourbon Sky Lounge is a cocktail lover's dream, where you can enjoy the classics or take a risk while taking in the sweeping views.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Home to the best gelato in Nashville, JW Marriott Nashville's Stompin' Grounds Market makes the cold treat along with pastries and chocolates in-house. Try seasonal scoops or the beloved Maker's Mark-flavored gelato.
Reserve a private cabana at the 12,000-square-foot pool deck, open year-round and only to hotel guests. Enjoy a freshwater dip and order from a menu with poolside favorites, like sandwiches and frozen drinks.
The Nashville hotel’s foyer is called the "Firefly Box" because of the stunning light fixtures designed to resemble fireflies indigenous to Tennessee.
The executive lounge offers a great escape to get work done or have a little privacy. The space gives you stunning views from the 33rd floor, plush couches, a breakfast buffet and snacks and beverages throughout the day.
The popular Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina draws in guests and locals alike. The restaurant carries an expansive collection of bourbon and whiskeys, including a Michter's Celebration Sour Mash — it’s one of 328 bottles in the world and the only one in Tennessee.
