Nestled near Nissan Stadium and just a stone's throw from I-24, Drift Nashville is not only located perfectly - it is a destination in and of itself. Drift isn't just another hotel—it's a lifestyle destination that's redefining travel for the modern explorer. Transformed from an overlooked interstate spot, this boutique hotel is the ultimate playground for millennials seeking a unique experience.
What sets Drift apart? It's all about community, creativity, and connection. The hotel embraces a laid-back Baja-inspired aesthetic that's equal parts minimalist and Instagram-worthy. Think rich textures, clean lines, and spaces that beg to be shared.
Location is everything, and Drift nails it. Football fans can walk to Nissan Stadium, music lovers are minutes from epic concerts, and urban adventurers can snag an Uber to anywhere in Nashville in just 10 minutes. But the magic happens on-site.
The pool? An instant East Nashville hotspot. With a creative poolside bar, luxe cabanas, and plenty of space to hang with old and new friends, it's basically a social network come to life. Inside, Dawn Café serves up coffee that puts your standard Starbucks run to shame, while the Sun Room's terrazzo-flecked bar is the definition of sophisticated cool.
Room options cater to every traveler. Solo wanderers and couples will love the trendy standard rooms, while groups can level up with multi-bedroom suites and a show-stopping Penthouse with skyline views perfect for bachelor/ette parties.
