Union Station - A National Treasure, a Nashville Tradition, a Night of Luxury

The Union Station hotel in downtown Nashville, TN is a beautiful, national landmark. Growing up in the area, I have been driven past it many times over the years. The architecture of the structure is a beauty to behold, and the history behind it is intriguing. There are still trains that roll into and out of the yard to the right of the facility. The quick, soulful blasts of the trains horns is all that it takes for this daydreamer to get a glimpse into the bygone days of early Nashville.

Union Station was built as a railroad station in 1900.  There have been a few presidents to stay there as well as other dignitary's. Now Sweetie and I get to mark this off our bucket list, and add ourselves to the growing list of admirers who likewise have been able to rest a weary head on one of the plush pillows during an overnight stay.




First, let me say I was thrilled by this surprise. The boys were off doing their thing and it gave us a evening all to ourselves. After an amazing Predators game, we retired for the evening at the beautiful Union Station.

There were valet's to park your car, carry your bags in, and open the doors for you. All of this was done with a genuine smile, and a great attitude. Check out the ceiling!
Isn't our room pretty? The bed was so soft!  The train yard was outside our window to the right, so we got to watch the trains come in and out. At night the view is beautiful!

We were up on the fourth floor, looking over the bannister this is what I saw. Pretty awesome, huh?  

If you get an opportunity to stay here, it will be well worth your time. My only regret is it was only one night!
