If you’re travelling into town from outside the metro Nashville area, we did a little legwork on hotel accommodations and transportation. We’ll be following this up with parking and venue neighborhood information ASAP, but for now, here’re our team’s travel recommendations. Feel free to comment here with questions or find us on Twitter & Facebook. We’re monitoring things and will field your questions as best we can
Accommodations
Here are the recommended accommodations for WordCamp Nashville 2016. We highly recommend making reservations from your favorite reservation app, as we found prices considerably lower than those posted via the hotel itself.
Millennium Maxwell House Nashville
2025 Rosa L Parks Blvd, Nashville, TN 37228 Map
(615) 259-4343
Website
Transportation: 7 minutes via car, walking not recommended
Located north of downtown, this hotel is an affordable alternative to staying in the heart of downtown. You can get your honky-tonk on quickly via shuttle or ride-sharing. Taking your car downtown after the camp is not recommended, as parking prices are shocking and unpredictable.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel
315 4th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37219 Map
(615) 244-8200
Website
Transportation: 8 minutes via car, 20 min walk via 5th Ave
A pricier alternative, this hotel is located in downtown proper within walking distance of downtown attractions. If you have a car, keep in mind the price of parking, which is not included in the room cost. Both lines of the free Music City Circuit bus also pass the hotel.
airbnb
While we can’t make any promises about individual properties, airbnb is really popular in Nashville and there are lots of interesting places to stay. One of our planning team members has a listing that we love. Find out more about their space on airbnb or instagram.

Transportation
Music City Circuit
Nashville runs a free downtown circulator bus that has two lines: Blue and Green. This is the cheapest way to move around downtown without walking. The Blue Line goes down Broadway (honky tonks!) to the Riverfront, and the Green Line goes down Demonbruen St to The Gulch (great places to eat). On weekends, the Blue and Green Circuits operate every 15 minutes from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and every 30 minutes from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
