Scarritt Bennett Center — Hotel in Nashville-Davidson

This place is a cool old Methodist Women's missionary college (conference center now) that is right next to music row and Vanderbilt college. Tons of cool stuff to easily walk to. The campus/conference center is so beautiful, great location and the cost is unbelievable for being in the midst of town (Got a room for two for $50 and free parking for my car). Now the down side... This is really only a place to stay if you plan on being out and taking advantage of the great location the whole time. The rooms are nothing to brag about. No frills. Outdated/utilitarian/hard furniture. Think stark retreat center. The grounds themselves are gorgeous though. :-) Staying there is all about your frame of mind.

I enjoyed the location and all the money I...

The Scarritt-Bennett Center is a treasure for those who want simplicity, nature, sacred surroundings and affordability. If you are looking for upscale accommodations, this is NOT the place for you. I stayed 5 nights at the location. During my stay i not only enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds and learning about the rich history; but I also savored walking through the neighborhood and to downtown Nashville to some attractions and places to dine for my vegan appetite. (Yes, I could have taken an Uber to get to many places within 10-15 minutes, but I enjoy my walks). Scarritt-Bennett has a dining hall on campus with an excellent chef that prepared some vegan dishes that more than wowed. I had a couple meals on campus during my stay. And there were some events on the campus that I missed because I already had other plans. My stay was not only about affordability but about supporting an organization with faith and racial...

Scarritt Bennett Center truly feels like a hidden oasis of peace and greenery right in the heart of Nashville’s downtown. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, providing a serene and lush environment that feels worlds away from the surrounding concrete landscape. The rooms are charming, comfortable, and perfect for retreat and reflection. The staff at the reception and in the kitchen stand out for their enormous warmth and attentiveness. They go out of their way to make each guest feel welcome and well-cared for, adding a personal touch that is rare to find. The food is delicious, with thoughtful choices that are nourishing and satisfying. Overall, Scarritt Bennett Center is a gem for anyone seeking a restorative stay in...
