The hype
Guests are obsessed with the decor and the comfortable beds, but many are shocked by the pool policy.
Graduate Nashville
$180-350 / gabi
I-book ito kung You want a Dolly Parton-fueled fever dream that's perfect for bachelorette parties and Instagram feeds.
Bakit Ito Minamahal ng Mga Tao
- Over-the-top, kitschy decor that pays homage to country legends
- White Limozeen rooftop bar is a destination in itself
- Animatronic karaoke bar 'Cross-Eyed Critters' is genuinely unique
Mabilis na Sumisid: It’s a maximalist theme park for adults where the vibe is 'NashVegas' 24/7, so don't expect a low-key stay.
Sinuri ng @HeatherSharp2768625: I stayed at the Graduate in Nashville and honestly, it’s a total vibe. The Dolly Parton theme is so fun without being tacky, and that canopy bed was super comfy. If you love pink and retro style, you need to book this for your next girls' trip.

Not really. It's about a 1.5-mile trip; a quick Uber or a 30-minute walk, but you're right in the heart of Midtown's own bar scene.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, it's pet-friendly with a non-refundable fee of $75 per stay (max 2 pets, up to 75 lbs).
