We designed this urban sanctuary to highlight the area’s rich history, electric culture, natural beauty, and agricultural landscapes. From the flowering ivy façade at the entrance to the water-worn boulders in the lobby to the reclaimed wood, rope, leather, metal, and paper throughout each space—you’ll notice nods to agrarian barns, docks, riverboat smokestacks, and the local tradition of blacksmithing.

In addition to the flourishing greenery, you’ll find natural media including jute, wool, linen, cotton, and leather throughout the property that truly bring the art to life. Each detail strikes the perfect balance between Nashville’s urban grid and the surrounding landscapes of forests and wetlands, using biophilic design to keep you connected with nature and all of its intrinsic benefits.

Every year, the strategic, nature-centric design of 1 Hotel Nashville reduces energy costs by 28%, saving 2,006,400 kWh of energy and eliminating 74,200 therms of natural gas—equivalent to removing 391 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles from the road for one full year. When you leave the property, explore the city through a number of green transportation options—from walking to driving in our 100% electric Audi e-tron house cars.

Throughout this urban oasis, we utilize efficient water systems. On the outside, our sensor-driven ivy irrigation tubing nourishes each plant while reducing unnecessary water consumption by 78%. On the inside, our low-flow fixtures and real-time monitoring optimize and reduce water consumption by 4.3 million gallons per year. Our Aquafine OptiVenn UV system water filtration system utilizes ultraviolet water treatment solutions to give you safe drinking water with zero chemicals or by-products.

Our menus celebrate Nashville’s famous food culture, spotlighting honesty, healthy, and natural ingredients from the finest local farmers and producers within a small radius. From innovating with zero waste cocktails to prioritizing vegan diversity throughout our menus, we believe no effort is too small when it comes to reducing our food footprint and nurturing food equity in our community.

Whether it’s the post-consumer recycled paper hangers that hold your clothes, the soft sustainable linens you wake up in, the dark sky celebration you join, the sustainable supper you savor, or the natural earth-inspire aroma that surrounds you—there are mindful moments waiting for you around every corner of this urban sanctuary. Each one of these thoughtful touches aims to evoke a sense of mindfulness and well-being while uplifting and celebrating the world around you.

Rooted in the spirit of mindful living, the mind and movement program at 1 Hotel Nashville is all-encompassing, offering you an incredible chance to cultivate total wellness and realign your mind, body, and spirit.
