Stay at Nashville’s #1 Ranked Hotel | Prime 12 South Location
WELCOME TO THE GILMORE
Award-winning and guest-loved, The Gilmore is #1 out of 235 hotels on TripAdvisor, Top 1% on Airbnb, 4.9 stars on Google, and ranked #3 in the South by Southern Living.
Join us at The Gilmore, where European leisure meets Southern At The Gilmore, European leisure meets Southern charm in the heart of 12 South — Nashville's first full-service hotel in the neighborhood. Mediterranean-inspired design meets AvantStay's five-star hospitality, with breezy courtyards built for gathering, a warm lobby that invites you to linger, and thoughtful details that quietly encourage you to slow down. Dedicated concierge, world-class guest experience, and curated food and beverage options are all part of the package.
4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | 10 Guests
The Suite - This four-bedroom suite is built for groups who want space without sacrificing polish. Two king bedrooms and two queen bedrooms — all dressed with blackout curtains for genuinely restful sleep — anchor the layout, alongside three full bathrooms. The spacious living area centers on a 65" Samsung Frame TV and a sleeper sofa, with large windows pulling in plenty of natural light. A full-sized kitchen (stove, microwave, sink, fridge) makes it easy to whip up breakfast or pour a nightcap, and a private balcony offers a quiet moment with morning coffee.
Modern Conveniences - Every suite comes stocked with full-size toiletries, a dedicated work space, a complimentary Nespresso and tea selection, branded robes, and a clothing steamer — the small details that make a stay feel considered.
The Hotel - Beyond your suites, the property opens up into a series of spaces designed for the kind of stay where you actually use the common areas:
The Skyline Terrace is the rooftop's headline act — unbeatable views of the Nashville skyline, bistro tables for morning coffee, and lounge seating that hits its stride at sunset. Open to all guests, it holds up to 50 people. The Poet's Courtyard is a leafy ground-floor retreat with a community table and intimate nooks, accommodating up to 190 guests. Order in from neighboring restaurants and post up here for hours. The Gilmore Room is a sophisticated indoor multipurpose space for up to 33 — meetings, wellness sessions, private gatherings, whatever the group needs. And when you want to truly settle in, in-room massages, IV drips, and other spa services can be arranged on your schedule.
Buyouts & Events - The Gilmore is purpose-built for groups. Beyond this 3-suite buyout, larger configurations (full floor, full hotel) are available, and a dedicated events manager handles the logistics — curated vendor options, dining reservations, transportation, and seamless coordination. The setup naturally lends itself to bachelor/bachelorette weekends, corporate retreats, weddings, milestone birthdays, and reunions.
12 South & Music City - Step out the door and you're in the middle of one of Nashville's most-loved neighborhoods. 12 South is a walkable stretch of artisanal boutiques, trendy cafes, and celebrated restaurants — the kind of place where you wander out for coffee and end up gone for hours. A short ride pulls you into the rest of Music City: Broadway's honky-tonks, the Ryman Auditorium, the Grand Ole Opry, and live music spilling out of pretty much every door. Whether you're here for the music, the food, or the buzz of the city itself, The Gilmore puts it all within easy reach.

The Gilmore is located in the perfect neighborhood! There is so many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The property was clean with so many special amenities. The staff was fabulous! We had the coziest robes in each room and we loved our towel warmers! The property booked us in room massages as well which was wonderful!
This hotel, bedroom/living area setup and location were absolutely amazing! Three couples stayed here and we all agreed that we will be back. Room check in was so easy and we loved the keypads outside of the door. The rooms were spacious and provided plenty of room for multiple couples. There is underground paid self parking which is nice. It is located in one of the best areas with plenty of restaurants and shopping. There was live music on Friday which was a nice bonus. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hotel!

A great, centrally located abode that we used as a home-base for our day excursions around Palermo and Northwest Sicily. To be honest, the bathroom and related amenities could be better, don't expect much and ask for shower soap/body wash, shampoo and toilet paper. The shower needs some upkeep and improvement, quite grimey. Also, Wonderful Italy's communication is poor and we received zero instructions of how to contact the receiving host when arriving at the location, the provided Whatsapp number did not suffice for timely communication.
