Four Seasons Hotel Nashville: 2026 Review Verdict
- Location: 100 Demonbreun Street at 1st Avenue South — one block (2 minutes) from Lower Broadway, next door to Ascend Amphitheater and the Schermerhorn, 5 minutes from the pedestrian bridge to Nissan Stadium.
- Rooms: 235 keys (193 rooms, 42 suites) on floors 7–14 of a 40-story, 542-foot tower that opened November 2022; standard rooms run 402–449 sq ft, the largest new-build standard rooms downtown.
- Pool & spa: 2,300-sq-ft infinity-edge pool on the 7th floor over the Cumberland River, with Rivière Rooftop alongside and a six-room spa on the same level.
- Dining: Mimo closed in November 2025; Bacco, a Tuscan steakhouse with an all-seasons terrazza, opened in the rebuilt first-floor space on April 10, 2026.
- True cost (checked October 2026): $0 resort or destination fee — rare among SoBro luxury towers — but valet is $58/night and rates typically start around $650 on quiet weeknights.
Compare Live Nashville Hotel Rates & Availability
Four Seasons Hotel Nashville is the city’s price ceiling: the hotel that other luxury towers measure themselves against, and the one whose nightly rate makes first-time visitors wince. It opened in November 2022 at 100 Demonbreun Street, the quiet river end of SoBro, with the hotel occupying floors 7 through 14 of a 40-story glass tower designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz and 144 private residences stacked above. Four years in, it has the largest standard rooms of any new-build downtown, the only true infinity pool over the Cumberland River, and — unusually for a SoBro luxury hotel — a bill with no resort or destination fee on it.
What changed for 2026 is the dining. Mimo, the Italian-leaning restaurant that anchored the first floor since opening, served its last dinner on November 16, 2025; the space was gutted and reopened on April 10, 2026 as Bacco, a Tuscan steakhouse with a year-round terrazza. This review covers the walk times, every room category with verified square footage, the 7th-floor pool and spa, the new restaurant, and what a night actually costs once Nashville’s 16.75% tax and the $58 valet are added. Fees and parking were checked in October 2026.
Walk Times from Four Seasons Hotel Nashville to Lower Broadway, Ascend Amphitheater & Nissan Stadium
The hotel sits where Demonbreun Street meets 1st Avenue South, at the eastern tip of SoBro beside the river. Walk one block north and you are on Lower Broadway at the 1st and 2nd Avenue end, where the honky-tonk strip begins; the whole Broadway run from the river to 5th Avenue takes about 6 minutes. That makes Four Seasons the closest luxury hotel to the bars after Hilton Nashville Downtown, yet it feels removed because nothing on the hotel’s own block is a bar — the neighbors are Ascend Amphitheater, Riverfront Park and the river.
- Lower Broadway (1st–2nd Avenue end): 1 block, 2 minutes; Tootsie’s and the 5th Avenue end about 6 minutes.
- Ascend Amphitheater and Riverfront Park: 2–3 minutes.
- Schermerhorn Symphony Center: about 4 minutes.
- John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge: about 5 minutes to the ramp; Nissan Stadium roughly 15 minutes door to gate.
- Country Music Hall of Fame: 6–7 minutes west on Demonbreun.
- Bridgestone Arena (501 Broadway) and Ryman Auditorium: 8–9 minutes.
- Music City Center: 8–10 minutes.
- The Gulch: about 20 minutes on foot or a 5-minute Uber; BNA airport is 8 miles.
Two location caveats. Ascend Amphitheater runs outdoor concerts from spring to fall, and on show nights you will hear them from the pool deck; ask for a city-facing room if you are sensitive, though the hotel’s glazing is heavy enough that most guests notice nothing inside. And on Titans game days, the pedestrian bridge becomes the main river crossing, so the block fills with foot traffic for an hour either side of kickoff. Our SoBro hotels area guide ranks every tower in the district by walk time.
Rooms & Suites at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville: Sizes, Views and Which Category to Book
All 193 rooms and 42 suites sit on floors 7–14, which means no guest room is more than about 170 feet above the street; the drama comes from the glass, not the altitude. The hotel’s own accommodations pages list the entry-level Superior Room at 404–410 square feet with a king or two double beds, City-View and River-View Rooms at 402–440 square feet, and the Premier Corner Room at 449 square feet with two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows. For reference, those are 70–100 square feet larger than a standard room at JW Marriott or Grand Hyatt, and within shouting distance of the 500-square-foot standards at The Hermitage.
Bathrooms are marble with a double vanity, a private water closet and a walk-in shower. One detail worth knowing before you book: in the Superior category the hotel specifies that the deep soaking tub is in double-bed rooms only, so couples who want a bath should either take two doubles or move up to a suite. Interiors by Marzipan and HOK are warm rather than glossy, and the hotel hangs 94 original works by local, regional and national artists. The 42 suites range from one-bedroom layouts with a separate living room to the Presidential Suite, which opening-era press reports put at 2,238 square feet.
| Category | Size (hotel-published) | Floors & view | Beds & bath | Our take |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Room | 404–410 sq ft | Floors 7–14; city or pool-terrace side | King or 2 doubles; walk-in shower (soaking tub in double-bed rooms only) | Best value entry point; ask for a high floor |
| City-View Room | 402–440 sq ft | Floors 7–14; skyline and Broadway side | King or 2 doubles; marble bath | Quietest orientation on amphitheater nights |
| River-View Room | 402–440 sq ft | Floors 8–14; Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium | King (2 adults) or 2 doubles (up to 4) | The signature view; book this for a first visit |
| Premier Corner Room | 449 sq ft | Floors 8–14; two glass walls, city view | King; marble bath | Most light per dollar; ideal for couples |
| Suites (42) | From one-bedroom layouts to a 2,238-sq-ft Presidential (press-reported) | Floors 7–14 | Separate living room; Executive Suites add a second bath | Families and celebrations |
The 7th-Floor Infinity Pool, Rivière Rooftop & The Spa
The pool is on the 7th floor, the first hotel level, cantilevered toward the river so that the infinity edge seems to pour into the Cumberland. Four Seasons lists it at 2,300 square feet with an average depth of 3.5 feet — this is a lounging pool, not a lap pool — and describes submerged loungers and floating daybeds on the terrace. It is heated and open year-round, guests only, and because the hotel has 235 keys rather than 500-plus, you can usually find a chair at 2 PM on a Saturday, which is not true at the big-box towers. Nissan Stadium sits directly across the water, so on game days the deck doubles as the best pre-game seat in the city.
Rivière Rooftop shares the deck: a Mediterranean menu with 50 seats indoors plus poolside service, a lighter poolside menu by day and a full dinner menu after dark. It stayed open through the first-floor renovation and is the venue to book for sunset. The Spa is on the same 7th floor with six treatment rooms, including a couples suite, every one of them with floor-to-ceiling windows; the fitness center was designed with Four Seasons’ global fitness advisor Harley Pasternak. Six rooms is small for a 235-key hotel, so reserve treatments at booking during CMA Fest (June 4–7, 2026) and on bachelorette weekends.
Dining at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville: Bacco Replaces Mimo
Bacco is the 2026 story. After Mimo’s final service on November 16, 2025, the hotel spent the winter on what it calls a multimillion-dollar renovation of the entire first-floor restaurant space and reopened it on April 10, 2026 as a Tuscan steakhouse: premium cuts, house-made pastas, an Italian-heavy wine list and a cocktail program built around the bar and lounge. The hotel’s fact sheet lists a 75-seat dining room, a 52-seat bar and lounge, and a 32-seat terrazza — an all-seasons patio with its own bar that is meant to work “rain or shine.” Weekend brunch runs in both the dining room and the terrazza. Expect fine-dining pricing; early diner reviews praise the pasta and the bread service and note that the bill is not shy.
Beyond Bacco and Rivière there is in-room dining and the Bacco bar and lounge for a nightcap. If you want a change of scene, the Country Music Hall of Fame block and the Fifth + Broadway food hall are each within a 10-minute walk, and the rooftop at JW Marriott’s Bourbon Steak is 8 minutes west on Demonbreun.
Fees, Tax & Parking: What a Night at Four Seasons Nashville Costs in 2026
Four Seasons charges no resort or destination fee — checked on the hotel’s site in October 2026 — which puts it in a short list with The Hermitage, Hilton Nashville Downtown and Drury Plaza among downtown hotels; see our audit of Nashville hotels without resort fees. What you do pay is tax: Nashville (Davidson County) hotel bills carry 9.75% sales tax (7% Tennessee plus 2.75% local, which includes the 0.5% transit surcharge voters approved in 2024) plus Metro’s 7% hotel occupancy tax, a combined 16.75%, plus a flat $2.50 per room per night. Parking is valet at $58/night; there is no self-park at the hotel, and the nearest public garages are on the Music City Center side of SoBro, a 10-minute walk away.
| Line item | Quiet weeknight example ($700 rate) | Event weekend example ($900 rate) |
|---|---|---|
| Room rate | $700.00 | $900.00 |
| 16.75% tax on room | $117.25 | $150.75 |
| Resort / destination fee | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Flat $2.50 per night | $2.50 | $2.50 |
| All-in per night, no car | $819.75 | $1,053.25 |
| Valet $58 + sales tax | about $63.66 | about $63.66 |
| All-in per night with a car | about $883.41 | about $1,116.91 |
| 3-night stay with a car | about $2,650 | about $3,351 |
Rates typically start around $650–$950 on non-event weeknights and clear $1,100–$1,600 on CMA Fest, New Year’s Eve and Titans weekends. The absent fee is worth more than it looks: over three nights, The Joseph’s $35 fee costs $122.58 after tax and JW Marriott’s $30 fee costs $105.09, so the Four Seasons premium is $35–$41 a night smaller than the headline rates suggest. Skipping the car saves about $191 over three nights; our downtown Nashville hotel parking guide lists the public garages if you must drive.
Who Should Book Four Seasons Hotel Nashville — and Who Should Skip It
Book it for a milestone trip where the room itself is the point: 400-plus-square-foot standards, the river pool, a spa on the same floor, and service that still remembers your name on day two. It is also the smart luxury pick for Titans and Ascend Amphitheater events, because you walk to both and never see a surge-priced Uber. Skip it if you are mostly going to be out on Broadway until 2 AM and sleeping until noon — you are paying for amenities you will not use, and Hilton Nashville Downtown or Holston House deliver the location for half the money. Skip it too if you want a historic building (The Hermitage) or a view from the 30th floor (JW Marriott, Grand Hyatt); Four Seasons tops out at the 14th.

Four Seasons vs The Hermitage, The Joseph and JW Marriott: Which Nashville Luxury Hotel?
Three hotels compete for the same guest. The Hermitage Hotel, the 1910 Beaux-Arts landmark four blocks north of Broadway, also charges no resort fee and has 500-square-foot standard rooms, but no pool and no river; it usually runs $100–$150 a night less. The Joseph in southern SoBro offers an art collection, a 21st-floor pool and Yolan for roughly $150–$250 less per night, with a $35 fee attached. JW Marriott Nashville gives you a 33-story tower, a bigger pool deck and Bourbon Steak for materially less, in a 335–370-square-foot room. Our five-star head-to-head, Four Seasons vs The Hermitage vs 1 Hotel vs Conrad, and the ranking of Nashville’s best luxury hotels go deeper on all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does Four Seasons Hotel Nashville charge a resort fee?
No. As of October 2026 the hotel lists no mandatory resort, destination or amenity fee. Your bill is the room rate plus Nashville’s 16.75% combined tax and the flat $2.50 per night, plus $58 per night if you valet a car.
What floor is the pool at Four Seasons Nashville, and does it have a view?
The 2,300-square-foot heated infinity pool is on the 7th floor, the hotel’s first guest level, and its edge faces the Cumberland River with Nissan Stadium directly across the water. Rivière Rooftop serves the deck, and the six-room spa is on the same floor. The pool is for registered guests only.
Is Mimo still open at Four Seasons Nashville?
No. Mimo Restaurant and Bar served its final dinner on November 16, 2025. The first-floor space was rebuilt and reopened on April 10, 2026 as Bacco, a Tuscan steakhouse with a 75-seat dining room, a bar and lounge, and a 32-seat all-seasons terrazza. Rivière Rooftop on the 7th floor was unaffected.
How big are the rooms at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville?
Hotel-published sizes are 404–410 square feet for a Superior Room, 402–440 square feet for City-View and River-View Rooms, and 449 square feet for the Premier Corner Room, all on floors 7–14. The 42 suites start with one-bedroom layouts; press reports put the Presidential Suite at 2,238 square feet.
How far is Four Seasons Nashville from Broadway and Nissan Stadium?
Lower Broadway is one block north — about 2 minutes to the river end of the honky-tonk row and 6 minutes to 5th Avenue. The John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge ramp is about 5 minutes away, and Nissan Stadium is roughly 15 minutes door to gate on foot, which on Titans Sundays beats any car.
