Downtown Nashville offers a combination of old and modern architecture.  In 1900, a building was built that served as a train station and eventually as a hotel located on 10th Avenue.  The Union Station Hotel is majestic in its architecture along with beauty inside.

The train station opened to the public in October of 1900 and became one of the busiest train stations at that time. The train station even had Al Capone pass through when the Federal Agents were escorting him to Atlanta to serve time. Mae West, the movie actress, visited the Union Station Train Station.  During World War Two, the station served as a place service men, and women from the state of Tennessee would begin their journey over seas for America's fight for freedom.  The train services would eventually end in 1979, and the building would be abandoned.

The Romanesque style architecture laid abandoned of this beautiful place for seven years. In 1986, after years of renovation, the hotel would eventually be open to the public. Today, the hotel is owned and operated by Marriott. The lobby of the hotel offers a 65-foot ceiling with beautiful decorate murals.  The hotel offers a dining experience with The Stationary with a culinary experience in the heart of Nashville.  

For experiences nearby, you have the Frist Art Museum located right next to the hotel. The Gulch is within walking distance for shopping,  restaurants,  and murals.  Plus, the Ryman Auditorium and Country Music Hall of Fame are also within walking distance.  Whether you're looking to stay at this historic hotel or just want to see a part of Nashville history, then a stop at the Union Station Hotel is a must.  #ridingwithkurt #marriott #unionstationnashville #Nashville
