Fourteen stories of stepped Art Deco brickwork rising above Fourth Avenue North place Holston House Nashville within one of downtown's most recognizable pre-war commercial towers — the former Noel Hotel, built in 1930, whose limestone base with its ornamental medallions and fluted pilasters remains intact at street level, framing an entrance that still carries the civic confidence of Depression-era Nashville. The conversion brought the building back as a 243-room hotel, and the rooftop addition visible in the images — housing a pool deck with glass balustrades that frame AT&T's Batman Building and the surrounding downtown skyline — was grafted onto the historic structure without disturbing the tower's original stepped crown. Inside, the interior approach works in a warm mid-century register: dark-stained hardwood floors, walnut-toned millwork on the credenzas and wardrobe surrounds, upholstered linen headboards with leather-trimmed accents, and pendant fixtures in amber glass and brushed brass. The guest rooms are furnished with a restrained confidence — patterned drapery panels in an abstract botanical print, desk chairs in cognac leather, pale blue area rugs grounding the palette. The ground-floor restaurant carries terrazzo flooring and a long bar counter lined with saddle-tan stools, Edison-style pendants hung at varied heights against a walnut-panelled ceiling, the whole composition leaning closer to a well-appointed Nashville diner of the 1950s than anything generically boutique.

Inspired by the building’s historic craftsmanship and its hometown’s soulful energy, Holston House offers a uniquely spirited, personalized and authentic experience in the heart of downtown Nashville. This 191-room hotel will feature six suites, including two signature 12th floor penthouse suites, fitness center, street-level restaurant, lobby lounge and rooftop bar. Additionally, the hotel will feature 3,000 square-feet of flexible meeting and event space, which includes ample function space on the first level, a boardroom, and a 439 square-feet rooftop room featuring a private terrace and folding glass doors leading to the hotel’s rooftop pool. Originally designed by Marr & Holman and recently re-imagined, the interior has been updated to compliment the exterior’s art deco details and honor the buildings historic spirit.
