The 72 Best Hotel Openings of 2024

Drift Nashville

Drift Nashville, the brand’s fourth location, updates a 1965 midcentury inn in the city’s East Bank waterfront district into an 87-room retreat with four F&B concepts from local impresario Alexis Soler. A white façade with sea-green accents pairs with the warm interiors featuring rust and forest green hues that complement earthy materials like leather, terracotta, and wood. Of the 40 suites, the 1,800-square-foot penthouse honors frequent former guest Elvis, with a golden toilet and views of the city.
