NASHVILLE, Tenn. — From the time you pull up to The Joseph Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, you’ll find your senses on high alert. But don’t just rush inside. Instead, take time to appreciate the living plant wall outside, along with the authentic London Cab parked nearby, distinguished by its interior, outfitted in a Burberry design motif.
Sights of The Joseph in Nashville
As you enter, notice the Lucchese wall that greets you as you check-in. Designers wrangled Lucchese boot makers to wrap the counter in a distinctive boot-like design. Not only is this a first. It is just the first glimpse of the attention to detail you’ll find throughout The Joseph Hotel in Nashville.
Italian marble floors, found in the hotel lobby, are duplicated in the bathrooms in each room as well. They take on an almost 3-D effect, which you can notice while enjoying the standalone tub.
Yolan, the hotel restaurant, features a cheese wall where large, refrigerated cheese wheels are on display. Functionally, this unusual wall separates the busy kitchen from the restaurant’s diners. At certain times, a selection of the cheeses on display is warmed and served as an afternoon snack for guests on the hotel’s rooftop. (We’ll get to Yolan’s soon to be famous tasting menu in a moment.)
Sounds of The Joseph Nashville
During your stay at the hotel, you’ll find you can traverse all the sounds of Nashville to the sounds of silence in no time. In other words, you can wander through the streets of Nashville taking in the music bursting forth from loud party buses, bikes, and honkey-tonk happenings, all spilling out onto the city streets. Even in these Covid times. But once inside your room, you’ll find yourself surrounded by blessed silence. iI that’s your desire.

Taste at the Joseph Hotel
Even the casual menu at Denim is still a bit sophisticated.
Join your new hotel friends in the lobby at 4 p.m. daily for a spiked high tea. Infused with gin, this bracingly different tea will revive you after your long drive into Nashville. Poolside snacks arrive from the hotel’s casual restaurant, Denim. But note: the food is anything but pedestrian.
Think items like a Ceviche and hearty meatballs served with house-made marinara.
Of course, the high point of your visit will be dinner at Yolan, the hotel’s flagship restaurant.
Headed up by Michelin-starred chef Tony Mantuano, the restaurant’s eight-course tasting menu is a delight. Go all in and order the suggested wine pairings. Or let the house sommelier select an excellent wine that will pair with multiple dishes.
