Best Nashville Hotels With a Spa: The 2026 Shortlist
- Four Seasons Hotel Nashville (SoBro): The Spa on the 7th floor sits beside the infinity pool, welcomes locals, and the hotel charges $0 resort fee.
- The Joseph (SoBro): Rose, a luxury spa and salon on the 21st floor, is open to the public daily and includes a steam room, ice fountain and fitness studio with its day-spa package.
- The Westin Nashville (SoBro): Rhapsody Spa is the only downtown spa with a year-round indoor pool, cedar sauna and steam showers under the L27 rooftop.
- 1 Hotel Nashville (SoBro): Bamford Wellness Spa plus the Anatomy gym with weekly classes; no pool, so book it for treatments rather than lounging.
- JW Marriott Nashville (SoBro): Spa by JW with a full menu from 25-minute express services to packages, two floors below the rooftop pool deck.
- Gaylord Opryland (Music Valley): Relâche Spa & Salon is the full resort-spa experience; Tennessee residents get 15% off Sunday–Friday.
Compare Live Nashville Hotel Rates & Availability
Almost every upscale hotel in Nashville puts the word “spa” somewhere on its amenity list. Fewer than ten actually operate a full-service spa with treatment rooms, a wet area and a booking desk, and only some of those will take an appointment from someone who is not sleeping upstairs. For this guide we checked each hotel’s official site in October 2026 for the spa’s real name, its floor, what facilities come with a treatment, and whether non-guests can book. Where a hotel does not publish a non-guest policy we say so rather than guess.
The result is a short list dominated by SoBro’s glass towers, one resort spa out at Opryland, and one honest disappointment: The Hermitage Hotel’s spa is temporarily closed as of this writing. If you are planning a couples’ weekend, read this alongside our most romantic hotels in Nashville guide; if the pool matters as much as the massage, see the best Nashville hotels with rooftop pools.
How We Verified Each Nashville Hotel Spa (and What “Open to Non-Guests” Means)
Three questions decided whether a hotel made this list. First, does the hotel’s own website name a spa with a treatment menu, not just “in-room massage available”? Second, what do you get beyond the treatment room: a steam room, sauna, relaxation lounge, indoor pool, or access to the hotel pool deck? Third, can a visitor who is staying elsewhere book? That last point matters more in Nashville than in most cities, because bachelorette groups and conference attendees often want a spa morning at a hotel they could not afford for the whole weekend.
Two hotels state plainly that they take outside bookings: The Joseph says Rose “is open to the public,” and Four Seasons runs offers written for Tennessee locals. Gaylord Opryland publishes a Tennessee-resident discount, which only makes sense if residents can book. The Westin, JW Marriott and 1 Hotel publish no non-guest policy, so call first. Fees, parking and check-in times below come from our registry, checked October 2026.

Four Seasons Hotel Nashville: The Spa on the 7th Floor Next to the Infinity Pool
The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville is the one to book if you want the classic hotel-spa sequence of treatment, pool, cocktail, dinner without leaving the building. Per the hotel’s opening announcement it sits on the seventh floor adjacent to the fitness center and the resort-style pool deck, with six massage treatment rooms, a couples’ suite and two dedicated facial rooms. The hotel has promoted Hydrafacial treatments since 2023 and, in a 2025 release, an 80-minute Duet Massage with a Tennessee Whiskey foot scrub priced at USD 490 for two under the name Tranquil Tuesdays, described as “designed exclusively for Tennessee locals and Hotel guests.” That wording is the clearest non-guest welcome in the city.
What makes the spa day work here is the pool next door: the 7th-floor heated infinity-edge pool looks straight down onto the Cumberland River, and in 2025 the hotel also offered a limited number of daily pool passes for locals. There is $0 mandatory resort or destination fee, so a $600 night costs $600 plus Nashville’s 16.75% tax and the flat $2.50; valet is $58/night and the only parking option. Lower Broadway is a two-minute walk, check-in is 4:00 PM with a 12:00 PM checkout, and Mimo Restaurant and Bar handles dinner. Our Four Seasons Hotel Nashville review covers room categories and the valet-only trade-off.
Four Seasons Hotel Nashville
- NO Resort Fee ($0/night)
- 7th-floor infinity pool over Cumberland River
- Bacco Tuscan steakhouse (opened April 2026) & Rivière Rooftop
- 1 block from Lower Broadway & Country Music Hall of Fame
Five-star contemporary luxury just one block south of Lower Broadway, pairing a 7th-floor infinity pool over the Cumberland River with zero resort fees.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
The Joseph Nashville: Rose Spa & Salon on the 21st Floor, Open to the Public
Rose, a luxury spa and salon, occupies the 21st floor of The Joseph at 401 Korean Veterans Boulevard, the same level as the hotel’s heated rooftop pool and Denim bar. The hotel’s spa page is unusually specific: Rose “is open to the public with spa and salon appointments available daily,” Monday to Thursday 10 am to 5 pm and Friday to Sunday 9 am to 6 pm, and it warns that appointments within the next four to six weeks are limited, so book early for a weekend. The menu runs from body scrubs, wraps and couples’ massages to facials, Hydrafacials from a 30-minute express to an 80-minute premium version, a 100-minute Rose Indulgence treatment, manicures, pedicures, scalp treatments and men’s services.
The detail that separates Rose from a massage-room “spa” is the Day Spa Package, which the hotel lists as including the steam room, ice fountain, Experience Shower, co-ed lounge and the 21st-floor Fitness Studio. Note that pool cabanas are described for hotel guests, so a spa-only visitor should not count on a lounger. For overnight guests the math is luxury-tier: a $35 + tax Destination Amenity Fee per night, valet at $58/night, and a quiet corner of SoBro four blocks (a six-minute walk) from Lower Broadway. Yolan, Chef Tony Mantuano’s Italian restaurant, and the Pizzuti contemporary art collection fill the rest of the evening; see our Joseph Nashville review for rooms and fees in detail.
The Joseph, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Nashville
- 21st-floor rooftop pool, Rose Spa & Denim bar
- Yolan Italian restaurant by Chef Tony Mantuano
- Museum-caliber Pizzuti contemporary art collection
- Quiet southern SoBro corner
Art-centric Marriott Luxury Collection hotel in SoBro pairing Chef Tony Mantuano’s Yolan restaurant with a 21st-floor rooftop pool and Rose Spa.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
The Westin Nashville & JW Marriott Nashville: SoBro’s Big-Brand Spas (Rhapsody Spa and Spa by JW)
Rhapsody Spa at The Westin Nashville (807 Clark Place, directly across from Music City Center) is the only downtown hotel spa with a true indoor pool. The hotel’s experiences page lists the indoor pool as open year-round alongside a co-ed dry cedar sauna and hydro-experience steam showers, and describes the treatment side as body treatments plus a custom collection of IV therapies. That makes it the best pick for a winter visit, when the 27th-floor L27 infinity pool is less inviting. The hotel does not publish whether non-guests can book, so schedule through its online spa page or call before you plan a day around it. Overnight guests pay a $30 + tax Destination Amenity Fee, valet is $56/night, and the Music City Center garage across the street runs about $25–$35. Lower Broadway is three blocks, a five-minute walk.
The Westin Nashville
- L27 Rooftop Lounge & 27th-floor infinity pool
- Full-service Rhapsody Spa with indoor pool
- Oak Steakhouse on ground floor
- Directly opposite Music City Center
Home to L27—one of Nashville’s highest rooftop pool lounges on the 27th floor—plus Oak Steakhouse and Rhapsody Spa right in the heart of SoBro.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Spa by JW at JW Marriott Nashville (201 8th Avenue South) organizes its menu into six families: Calm, Indulge, Invigorate, Renew, Hands & Feet, and Express & Essentials, the last covering treatments of 25 minutes or less for conference guests with a gap between sessions. Bookings go through Marriott’s online spa portal, and the hotel’s page is silent on non-guest access, so treat it as a guest-first spa unless the desk tells you otherwise. The reward for staying is the heated rooftop pool deck with private cabanas and, on the 34th floor, Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina. The fee picture is a $30 + tax Destination Amenity Fee and valet-only parking at $58/night; Lower Broadway and Bridgestone Arena are three blocks away. Read the JW Marriott Nashville review for the view-by-floor breakdown.
JW Marriott Nashville
- 34th-floor Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina
- 33-story curved glass luxury tower
- Heated rooftop pool deck & Spa by JW
- 3 blocks from Lower Broadway & Bridgestone Arena
Soaring 33-story curved glass luxury tower in SoBro crowned by Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak on the 34th floor and a heated rooftop pool deck.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
1 Hotel Nashville: Bamford Wellness Spa and the Anatomy Gym (No Pool)
1 Hotel Nashville at 710 Demonbreun Street, opposite Music City Center, is the wellness-first choice rather than the pool-day choice. The hotel’s wellness page describes Bamford Wellness Spa as “devoted to nurturing the mind, body and spirit,” with massages, body services and facials built around Bamford’s natural and organic skincare line, and it notes the spa was named Tennessee’s Best Hotel Spa in the 2026 World Spa Awards. The fitness side is unusually deep for a city hotel: Anatomy offers one-on-one personal training (strength, HIIT, boxing), complimentary weekly group classes, meditation and yoga, plus a recurring Friday Fitness session, and the hotel sells a Wellness Suite Retreat package with a $500 wellness credit and a pre-arrival agenda from a Wellness Guide.
Two caveats. There is no pool, so your post-treatment hour is Harriet’s 19th-floor rooftop lounge rather than a lounger. And the hotel does not publish a non-guest policy; the page points spa inquiries to the concierge. Overnight costs are a $35 + tax nightly fee and valet at $58/night, and Lower Broadway and Bridgestone Arena are two blocks, a four-minute walk.
1 Hotel Nashville
- Ivy-covered living facade in SoBro
- Harriet’s 19th-floor rooftop bar
- Bamford Wellness Spa & Anatomy gym
- 2 blocks from Bridgestone Arena & Lower Broadway
Nature-inspired five-star sanctuary wrapped in over 56,000 living plants across from Music City Center, featuring Bamford Wellness Spa and Harriet’s Rooftop.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
Gaylord Opryland Resort: Relâche Spa & Salon, the Full Resort Spa Day
Relâche Spa & Salon at Gaylord Opryland (2800 Opryland Drive) is the closest Nashville gets to a destination spa, and the resort publishes more policy detail than any downtown hotel. An appointment is required, the hotel listing shows the spa open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily, and every service includes access to the steam room, rain shower, locker rooms and relaxation lounge, with robes, sandals, hot tea and light snacks provided in separate men’s and women’s lounges. The age rules are explicit: 18 and older for the steam room, sauna, locker rooms and any body treatment; 16–17 may book facials and select waxing; 15 and under are limited to manicures, pedicures, makeovers and hair services. Cancellations inside 24 hours carry a 50% charge.
Pricing moves seasonally; the fall 2026 Pumpkin Spice menu lists a 50-minute massage with foot scrub at $210, a 100-minute hot-stone version at $420, a 50-minute facial at $210 and a 50-minute pedicure at $135. Tennessee residents get 15% off treatments Sunday through Friday with proof of residency, which is also the resort’s indirect confirmation that locals can book. Factor the resort fee into any overnight plan: $45 + 16.75% tax per night ($52.54 total), plus self-parking at $38/night or valet at $50. The Cascades indoor and outdoor pools are for registered guests, and SoundWaves waterpark requires a SoundWaves Experience Package rather than a room-only rate. Downtown is a 15-minute drive, while the Grand Ole Opry House is a five-minute walk. Our Gaylord Opryland Resort review explains which wing to request for a quiet spa weekend.
Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
- 9 acres of indoor glass-enclosed botanical atriums
- 4-acre SoundWaves indoor/outdoor waterpark
- Delta flatboat river ride inside hotel
- Walk to Grand Ole Opry & Opry Mills
Nashville’s iconic 2,888-room resort featuring nine acres of climate-controlled indoor tropical gardens, indoor waterfalls, a quarter-mile riverboat ride and the SoundWaves waterpark.
Prices vary according to travel dates and availability.
The Hermitage Hotel, Honorable Mentions & How to Plan a Nashville Spa Day
The Hermitage Hotel would normally anchor a list like this, but its own FAQ, updated in autumn 2026, says: “While our spa is temporarily closed, our concierge team will be pleased to assist with coordinating spa treatments elsewhere.” The FAQ does not list in-room treatments, so assume the concierge will send you to one of the spas above. What the 1910 Beaux-Arts landmark still delivers is the most spa-like room stock in the city: oversized 500-plus-square-foot rooms, Italian marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, a 24/7 fitness center opened with your room key, Drusie & Darr by Jean-Georges downstairs and $0 resort fee. Check our Hermitage Hotel review and the hotel’s FAQ for a reopening date before booking on the strength of the spa.
Two more names from our registry deserve a mention even though they are not profiled above: Grand Hyatt Nashville lists R+R Wellness Spa next to its 5th-floor heated pool deck at Nashville Yards, and Kimpton Aertson Hotel in Midtown pairs Henley with Woodfired Spa. Both are worth a call if the SoBro spas are booked out, which happens on CMA Fest and bachelorette-heavy weekends; our other room-type guides cover soaking tubs and suites. For every spa in this guide, treatment charges land on your folio separately from the room, so the 16.75% hotel tax and $2.50 nightly fee apply to the room and any mandatory destination fee, not to the massage; our Nashville hotel taxes and fees explainer walks through the math.
Booking a Nashville Spa Day Without Overpaying
Book treatments the day you book the room: The Joseph warns that Rose appointments within four to six weeks are limited, and Saturday slots at every SoBro spa go first. Aim for Tuesday to Thursday, when Four Seasons runs its locals-and-guests Tranquil Tuesdays offer and Relâche applies its Tennessee-resident discount. Ask whether a treatment includes wet-area access (Rose, Relâche and Rhapsody say yes; Spa by JW and Bamford do not publish it), and whether gratuity is added automatically before you tip again at checkout. If the pool is the point, pick Four Seasons, The Joseph or the Westin; if you want weights and classes, pick 1 Hotel’s Anatomy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which Nashville hotel spas are open to non-guests in 2026?
The Joseph states that Rose, its 21st-floor spa and salon, is open to the public with appointments daily. Four Seasons Hotel Nashville runs offers written for Tennessee locals and hotel guests, and Gaylord Opryland’s Relâche Spa publishes a 15% Tennessee-resident discount, so both take outside bookings. The Westin (Rhapsody Spa), JW Marriott (Spa by JW) and 1 Hotel (Bamford Wellness Spa) do not publish a non-guest policy on their official sites; call before relying on them.
Which Nashville hotel spa has an indoor pool?
Rhapsody Spa at The Westin Nashville lists a year-round indoor pool alongside a co-ed dry cedar sauna and steam showers, which makes it the strongest December-to-March spa pick downtown. Gaylord Opryland has the Cascades indoor pool for registered guests, separate from the Relâche Spa wet area. Four Seasons, The Joseph and JW Marriott have heated outdoor pools; 1 Hotel Nashville and The Hermitage have no pool.
Does The Hermitage Hotel in Nashville have a spa?
Not at the moment. The hotel’s FAQ says its spa is temporarily closed and that the concierge team will coordinate treatments elsewhere. The 24/7 fitness center remains open with a room key, the standard rooms are 500-plus square feet with deep soaking tubs, and the hotel charges no resort fee, so it still works as a quiet luxury base with a spa appointment booked at The Joseph or Four Seasons a few blocks south.
How far ahead should I book a spa treatment at a Nashville hotel?
Four to six weeks for a weekend slot. The Joseph says appointments inside that window are limited, and demand at every downtown spa peaks on Fridays and Saturdays from April through October, during CMA Fest in June, and on Titans and major-concert weekends. Midweek is easier and often cheaper thanks to locals’ offers such as Four Seasons’ Tranquil Tuesdays and Relâche’s Sunday-to-Friday resident discount.
Are Nashville hotel spa treatments subject to the 16.75% hotel tax?
No. Nashville’s 16.75% combined tax (9.75% sales tax plus Metro’s 7% hotel occupancy tax) and the $2.50 nightly fee apply to the room rate and to any mandatory destination or resort fee, such as the $35 at The Joseph and 1 Hotel or the $45 at Gaylord Opryland. Spa services are billed separately; check the spa’s policy on automatic gratuity and its 24-hour cancellation charge, which at Relâche is 50% of the service.
