A restored 1929 downtown hotel near Printer’s Alley, with locally oriented art and design, multiple food-and-drink concepts, and Rare Bird rooftop bar. Choose it for historic character and a central location—not for a rooftop swimming pool, which it does not advertise.
Why We Chose It
Noelle occupies the former Noel Hotel building at 4th Avenue and Church Street, three blocks from Broadway and close to Printer’s Alley. Its strongest features are the preserved historic shell, contemporary Nashville art, Rare Bird rooftop bar, a hidden bar, coffee, and current restaurant concepts. Programming and venues evolve, so check the hotel’s active dining and event pages. The rooftop is a bar and event setting rather than the pool described in older copy.
What Stands Out
- 1929 Noel Hotel — the best historic building conversion in downtown Nashville
- Rare Bird cocktail bar — excellent drinks program with genuine commitment to craft
- Art and music programming throughout the hotel — the culturally embedded property in the city
- Rooftop pool — finest in downtown Nashville
- The hotel Nashville's creative community chooses for out-of-town guests
