One of my favorite parts about staying at Noelle were all of the gorgeous common spaces and areas of the hotel to explore. Together the creatives, collabortive minds, and staff have created a magical place with detail and history around every corner. Opening its doors as Noelle, a homage to the original Noel Place, in late-fall 2017. Located among the busiest area of the downtown area, Noel Place brought people from near and far into the city to experience the things that made Nashville great, including Printer’s Alley, Broadway, and Harvey’s Department Store.įast forward 85 years and the hotel has been fully restored and reimagined.

Located on the corner of 4th and Church, Noelle was originally opened it’s doors as Noel Place in 1930 during a time of growth in downtown Nashville. With friendly staff around every corner, Noelle isn’t just a hotel, it’s an experience. Just a short drive from the airport, getting to Noelle was very easy and each corner of the property had something new to discover. Noelle is conveniently tucked into the downtown area of Nashville, making it just a short walk to Broadway (two blocks to be specific!), museums, and delicious food. With a rich history and gorgeous decor, I’m itching to get back down to Nashville just so I can stay in the hotel again! Overall Experience Between hotels and Airbnbs, we had so many options for places to stay but in the end, we stayed at Noelle.

Scott Baird, former founding partner of The Bon Vivants and San Francisco’s Trick Dog, conceptualized Lautrec and chose Nashville for its national debut.At the end of February, I headed down to Nashville with one of my close friends (Hi Paige!) and we had an absolute blast! I had only been once before and it was a quick stop, so it was nice to spend a few days in the city to adventure around and eat some delicious food. Speaking of the green fairy, keep an eye out for the absinthe fountain making its rounds throughout the bar. Like the Death in the Afternoon made with the requisite bubbles and absinthe, but given new life with the addition of vanilla vodka and rose liqueur. On the cocktail menu: a greatest hits of French spirits and cocktails (think: French 75s and Kir Royales) along with classics that’ve been given a modern-day mixology twist. Sultry snake charmers, contortionist, dancers, and singers are all part of the spectacle, along with a portrait artist who sketches interested patrons as they take in the scene - a nod to the old-school selfie.

Surprise performances are scheduled throughout the experience and change every evening, which means no two nights are exactly alike. Stepping through the unmarked door, a trippy entrance leads down a rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland-esque fantasy, complete with billowing silks and satins, feather-festooned lighting, scantily-clad mannequins and, yes, a faux monkey bedecked in sparkling sequins. Named after the famed French painter-and purported Absinthe aficionado-Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, the artistic new experience debuts tonight, March 1, and will be open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 5 p.m. Channeling “Moulin Rouge” star seductress Satine, Hidden Bar at Noelle is giving Nashville a taste of La Belle Époque’s dark side with its whimsical French pop-up Lautrec.
