Built in 1900, Nashville's Union Station became a luxury hotel in 1986. I love a good adaptive reuse that preserves historic detail while finding new life for something that might have been torn down instead.
Last year, a $15.5 million renovation was completed that helped bring the property into the modern age while retaining its history.
The lobby is really a stunner:
Vintage tile: check.
Handcrafted stained glass windows: check.
An impressive staircase: check.
An inviting fireplace: check.
This was one of the few things that made me wish I'd had more time to linger in this city.
