During your Nashville vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
The Parthenon
Centennial Park, as the name implies, was built for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition of 1897, and this full-size replica of the Athens Parthenon was the exposition's centerpiece. The original structure was only meant to be temporary, however, and by 1921 the building, which had become a Nashville landmark, was in an advanced state of deterioration. In that year, the city undertook reconstruction of its Parthenon and by 1931 a new, permanent building stood in Centennial Park. The building now duplicates the floor plan of the original Parthenon in Greece. Inside stands the 42-foot-tall statue of Athena Parthenos, the goddess of wisdom, prudent warfare, and the arts. Newly gilded with eight pounds of gold leaf, she is the tallest indoor sculpture in the country.In addition to this impressive statue, there are original plaster castings of the famous Elgin marbles -- bas-reliefs that once decorated the pediment of the Parthenon. Down in the basement galleries of the Parthenon, you'll find an excellent collection of 19th- and 20th-century American art. The Parthenon's two pairs of bronze doors, which weigh in at 7 1/2 tons per door, are considered the largest matching bronze doors in the world. A recent renovation of the building included air conditioning, which should make for pleasant viewing on muggy summer days. Allow about 30 minutes.
Carter House
Built in 1830, the Carter House served as the Union army command post during the Battle of Franklin. Throughout the bloody fight, which raged all around the house, the Carter family and friends hid in the cellar. Today, you can still see many bullet holes in the main house and various outbuildings on the property. In addition to getting a tour of the restored home, you can spend time in the museum, which contains many Civil War artifacts. A video presentation about the battle that took place here will provide you with a perspective for touring the town of Franklin.
Belle Meade Plantation
Belle Meade was built in 1853 after this plantation had become famous as a stud farm that produced some of the best racehorses in the South. Today, the Greek Revival mansion is the centerpiece of the affluent Belle Meade region of Nashville and is surrounded by 30 acres of manicured lawns and shade trees. A long driveway leads uphill to the mansion, which is fronted by six columns and a wide veranda. Inside, the restored building has been furnished with 19th-century antiques that hint at the elegance and wealth that the Southern gentility enjoyed in the late 1800s.Tours led by costumed guides follow a theme that changes every 3 months (i.e. holidays, aspects of plantation life, etc.). These themed tours provide fascinating glimpses into the lives of the people who once lived at Belle Meade. Also on the grounds are a large carriage house and stable that were built in 1890 and that now house a large collection of antique carriages. During your visit, you can also have a look inside a log cabin, a smokehouse, and a creamery that are here on the grounds. Belle Meade's parklike grounds make it a popular site for festivals throughout the year.In addition, Martha's at the Plantation (tel. 615/353-2828), a simple yet stylish restaurant above the gift shop, is drawing raves for chef Martha Stamp's American/Southern dishes such as chicken salad, crawfish, quiches, and caramel cakes. A best-selling cookbook author, Stamp has also been featured in Southern Living and Victorian magazines, as well as on the TV show Martha Stewart Living. Sunday brunch is among the locals' favorites at Martha's at the Plantation, open daily 11am to 2pm. Allow a full morning or afternoon to soak up everything here.
Wyndham Garden Hotel-Nashville Airport
Recently renovated, this hotel has a refreshingly peaceful ambience. Just inside the front door, you'll find a seating area with a living-room feel beckoning you to sit down and relax a while. Behind this space is a lounge done up to look like a library. The guest rooms all feature classic cherrywood furniture. Spacious bathrooms include plenty of counter space.
Shoney's Inn-Nashville Music Row
If you want to stay right in the heart of Music Row and possibly spot a few country music stars while you're in town, try this sort of modern antebellum-style motel. In the lobby, you'll find walls covered with dozens of autographed photos of country music stars who have stayed here. The rooms are fairly standard, though they are all quite clean and comfortable. Free local calls and faxes are a plus. The suites are large and one has a whirlpool tub.
Holiday Inn Select Opryland/Airport
If you're looking for someplace convenient to the airport, this Holiday Inn just off the Briley Parkway is a good bet. The lobby features two back-to-back atriums, one of which houses the reception desk, a car-rental desk, and a couple of seating areas, while the other contains the swimming pool, a lobby lounge area, and a terraced restaurant. Guest rooms are fairly standard but feature big TVs and plenty of counter space in the bathrooms. The king rooms have a bit more space and are designed with business travelers in mind. On the 14th-floor executive level, you'll receive a complimentary breakfast and other upgraded amenities.
