Bobby Hotel Becomes The Nash, Ushering in a New Chapter in the Heart of Music City

Bobby Hotel will officially become The Nash – a name that more clearly reflects the hotel’s deep connection to Music City while preserving the bold, boutique experience guests and locals have come to know and love.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A familiar favorite in downtown Nashville is stepping into a new chapter with its recent arrival to Opal Collection, a curated portfolio of distinctive hotels and resorts in iconic destinations across the East. On March 1, Bobby Hotel will officially become The Nash – a name that more clearly reflects the hotel’s deep connection to Music City while preserving the bold, boutique experience guests and locals have come to know and love.

The new name draws from a nickname rooted in Nashville itself, instantly signaling a strong sense of place and recognition. Located in historic Printer’s Alley, The Nash reflects the storytelling, creativity, and character that define both the neighborhood and the hotel itself, reinforcing its role as a personality-driven destination at the center of the city’s energy.

Despite the exciting new name change, the hotel experience remains unmistakably familiar. Guests can expect the same welcoming atmosphere, art-centric design, and vibrant social spaces that have defined the hotel since it first opened in 2018, enhanced over time by subtle refinements and expanded programming shaped by Opal Collection’s luxury hospitality standards.

Since opening, the hotel has been consistently recognized by travelers worldwide, earning Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards honors each year, including a coveted “#16 Best Hotel in the World” ranking in the 2025 awards.

Rising 10 stories above downtown, The Nash features 144 artfully designed guestrooms and suites, distinctive dining and bar venues, and a collection of social spaces that balance high design with approachability. From its rooftop lounge overlooking the Nashville skyline to its lively lobby and neighborhood-driven dining concepts, the hotel delivers a stay that feels immersive, energetic, and unmistakably tied to its surroundings.

“The Nash represents an evolution rather than a reinvention,” said Milos Davidovic, Regional General Manager for Opal Collection. “It’s the same hotel people love, now with a name that feels unmistakably Nashville.”

The name change coincides with the hotel’s recent arrival to Opal Collection, a Top 25 Best Hotel Portfolio in Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards. With the addition of The Nash, Opal Collection now expands into one of the country’s most dynamic urban destinations, bringing its sense-of-place hospitality to the heart of Nashville while keeping the hotel’s local spirit firmly intact.

Centrally located near Broadway, The Nash will continue to offer its signature rooftop lounge overlooking the Nashville skyline, distinctive dining and social spaces, and a downtown address that places guests at the center of Music City’s pulsing scene. To learn more about The Nash and follow the hotel’s next chapter in the heart of Music City, visit OpalCollection.com/Nashville or sign up for its newsletter at OpalCollection.com/Nashville/Sign-Up.
