Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University places you by Vanderbilt and Centennial Park in Midtown rather than on Lower Broadway.

  • Address: 2555 West End Ave — steps from Vanderbilt University and Centennial Park
  • Closer to campus, the Parthenon and some Midtown dining options; around a 3-minute drive to Broadway
  • Useful for visitors with business at Vanderbilt or events at Centennial Park/FirstBank Stadium

Choose the Marriott for campus/park convenience and a quieter Midtown base.

  • Primary guest must be 21+ to check in; standard check-in 4:00 PM, check-out 11:00 AM

  • Heirloom Rooftop sits adjacent to the pool for drinks and light plates; rooftop access policies vary by source

  • Conference and ballroom space (large square footage) are emphasized over rooftop leisure features

  • 24-hour fitness center with equipment suitable for general workouts (Peloton, rower, weights reported)
  • Heirloom Rooftop hosts evening mixers and live music at times, connecting to downtown nightlife
