The Dive Motel

The place

Just north of Nashville's center, a 1950s bed and breakfast turned motel — and kept true to its era.

The 23 rooms are one-of-a-kind, running hot through red, yellow, pink, and orange. Retro-style furniture, wooden touches, bold wall graphics. Wright bedding, EO toiletries, and — in each room — a disco ball that spins.

The Swim Club is the draw: a lively outdoor pool, a jacuzzi, a wooden sauna, lounge chairs under umbrellas. The bar inside wears its vintage disco proudly, open late every day, with classic bar bites and drinks of every stripe.
