Nashville Hotel Makes List of Coolest Hotels

Oyster.com writer Megan Wood compiled a list of the hippest hotel chains you’ve probably never heard of and Nashville’s Hotel Indigo made the list.

Here’s what she said about Hotel Indigo:

“The Hotel Indigo chain has it going on, with none of the pretension that can be found at some other cool hotels. There’s a focus on neighborhood and community, with each hotel designed to emulate its surroundings. When possible, local purveyors supply ingredients at the restaurants and bars. These hotels are fresh, bright, and approachable. Wi-Fi is always free, and pets are welcome. Hotel Indigo Nashville is known for its dark-stained hardwood floors and colorful furniture in the rooms, and upscale American cuisine at The District Bar and Kitchen.

Other hotel chains that made her list are:

Generator Hostels
These aren’t your ordinary hostels. Found in nine European cities, these hostels were specifcally designed to photograph well. “An event coordinator curates music, art, history, fashion and design for each property to ensure they all have a unique sense of place.Rooms range from co-ed spaces with bunk beds to stylish private rooms with outdoor spaces and in-suite bathrooms. Generator Hostel Dublin has a rad bar with a whiskey bottle chandelier, a movie theater room and a free Dublin walking tour.”

25Hours Hotels
These hotels are found in Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Vienna and Zurich.

“The Vienna outpost has a circus theme and roll-top tubs, while the Frankfurt property has teamed up with iconic fashion brand Levis. But our favorite hotel in the brand is the 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin. The theme is, stay with us here, urban jungle meets Berlin zoo. Rooms are decked out with vintage-inspired, German-made Schindelhauer bikes and can include hammocks and views of the neighboring zoo, too. Berliners and guests hang out at the 10th-floor Monkey Bar and listen to a DJ while nibbling snacks and admiring views of the zoo from floor-to-ceiling windows.”

After reading Oyster.com’s description of the Pacific Edge on Laguna Beach, you might just book immediately: [It] offers surf and beach oriented activities at the hotel’s beach shack on Laguna Beach, along with chic outdoor seating and a restaurant overlooking the water. Pet-friendly perks include organic beds, water bowls, and treats for canine visitors. Overall, the vibe is young and cheery.”

Room Mate Hotels
As the name implies, the idea behind these hotels “is to make guests feel as though they are simply staying with a stylish, fun, and in-the-know friend in a great neighborhood. Each of the hotels, with outposts everywhere from New York City to Amsterdam to Granada, is named after a “friend.” Rooms are set with notes from that fictional friend.”
