What Guests Are Saying

“Came to the Fairlane for the Parma Wine Dinner. What an amazing experience! The food was delicious and paired with wine certified Sommelier Andrew Brewer explained during a four course dinner. The Italian menu felt very authentic and was savored by all the guests. The dinner began with a Parmigiano Reggiano cheesecake appetizer. The hint of lemon and cracked black pepper combination made this masterful appetizer unforgettable. The first course was another stellar dish featuring anolini in brodo. This may have been my favorite dish of the evening. Delicate cheese filled pasta served with crispy prosciutto and peas with a capon broth poured at the table. For the main course a dry aged pork coppa took center stage. Accompanied by radicchio, apricot, and black truffle. For the finale, a vanilla gelato with extra virgin olive oil and caviar made for, yes, an amazing tasty combination. From beginning to end the chefs and Andrew created a top notch dining experience. Highly recommend going to this monthly experience that will feature different wines and food at each dinner. A very special thank you to the valet. On our way out, we were greeted by Walter and Raymond at the valet. Both were very friendly and courteous. Walter retrieved our car quickly with no issues and we went on merry way. Thanks to all for a wonderful evening!” — Kathy F., 5 stars

“We were in Nashville for CMA Fest, and the Fairlane Hotel is in a fantastic location for walking to downtown/Broadway as well as Nissan Stadium. The rooms were clean and spacious, staff were lovely and incredibly helpful with a variety of questions we had during our stay, and it was nice and quiet inside the rooms. We utilised our drink tokens at the Modern Love bar in the evenings, and had breakfast one morning as well, it’s great to have these things easily accessible without leaving the hotel.” — tom W., 5 stars

“This is a wonderful hotel! Everything is so clean and comfortable. The breakfast is amazing but the best part is the free shuttle 5 miles anywhere around the hotel! Jude is amazing, she’s one of the drivers. They’ll also pick you up from your location too! 10/10 recommend the Element, and I will be back!” — Ashton N., 5 stars

"What an amazing stay!! Everything was perfect! The very first standout are the staff. What an incredible group of people!! Literally every single staff member I had an interaction with was SO kind, polite, helpful, and knowledgeable! It is rare to encounter staffing that is so consistently amazing, but the Fairlane staff absolutely nailed it! The very close second standout is the cleanliness of the hotel. Wow! My room was spotless, everything smelled fresh, and everything was in great condition! I'm always concerned with carpeted hotel rooms, but even wearing socks in the room proved that the carpeted floors were squeaky clean! The corners and grout of the tile shower had no weird funk, and the room was well-ventilated so it didn't feel stale or musty. I also noticed that everything was quiet, the floors were secure and I felt very safe despite traveling alone. The bed was more comfortable than the average hotel bed and coffee available downstairs in the morning was a wonderful perk (and it was very good)."

"We came to stay at the Fairlane when we lost power during the ice storm. The staff was so incredibly accommodating from the moment we booked the room throughout our stay. They offered a special rate for those without power and kindly allowed both of our dogs to stay given the circumstances, even though they were a little over the weight limit. The restaurant was open which was a huge relief when a lot of businesses were closed. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a relaxing stay during a really unfortunate situation. The hospitality here is unmatched!"

"The hotel was great. Nicely upgraded room giving an upscale feel at an affordable price. The front desk staff were wonderful especially Ruthy! And the Valet crew were the real MVPs. Especially Taylor and her manager Oscar (forgive me if names were wrong). Those two deserve a raise."
