There’s no better time to start your summer dreaming than when warmer days begin taunting our imaginations forward. Why not embrace that creative spirit this summer by taking a roadtrip to Nashville, TN?

Just a ~4.5 hour drive from Indy, Nashville has music galore and a rich artistic history expressed in the way of museums, murals, galleries, nationally-loved venues + more. Check out the best of what’s happening this month from our sister market NASHtoday, and see other Nashville pro tips in this Travel + Leisure guide.

To fully experience all the city has to offer, consider treating yourself to JW Marriott Nashville’s luxury accommodations — in addition to being situated in the heart of it all, the Marriott may be your perfect place to stay for these three reasons:

Location, location, location (+ cabanas)

You can’t beat being walking distance to Broadway, the Gulch, Music City Center + Nashville’s other top spots. Guests can also take full advantage of downtown’s largest rooftop pool, complete with relaxing cabanas and a poolside bar + grill.

No. 1 rated restaurant + steakhouse

If Trip Advisor’s top rating isn’t enough, Bourbon Steak’s 34th-floor skyline view + Michelin-starred Chef Michael Mina are the cherries on top. Read: Get the best of the Nashville dining scene right where you’re staying.
