A Historic And Elegant Past At Nashville Union Station Hotel

Peel back the layers of time at Union Station - A Wyndham Historic Hotel, a splendidly restored 19th-Century railroad station. Come to Nashville Union Station and turn the clock back to a grander era - when travel was truly exotic and special. Back then, passengers dressed in their "Sunday Finest" and gathered in huge terminals that resembled castles rather than train stations. An excited, yet civil, energy charged the air, alongside soaring Victorian architecture, ornate wood carvings, and exquisite Italian marble. Pulsing locomotives hissed on the platforms, as rubber-throated conductors shouted, "All aboard!" Visit those magnificent days through these notable characteristics, which make our stunning Nashville TN Union Station hotel truly special, including:
  • Heavy-stone Richardsonian-Romanesque design
  • Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977
  • 65-foot, barrel-vaulted lobby ceiling, featuring gold-leaf medallions and 100-year-old, Tiffany-style stained glass
  • Marble floors, oak-accented doors and walls, silvered mirrors, and a limestone fireplace
  • 12 gold-accented bas-relief angel figurines
  • Two bas-relief panels - a steam locomotive and horse-drawn chariot - at each end of the lobby
