Arriving by Car
Overlooking famed Broadway and downtown Nashville, the Grand Hyatt Nashville is ideally situated within walking distance to all of Music City’s points of interest, including Bridgestone Arena, the Ryman Auditorium, honky tonks, Assembly Food Hall and more.
Paid valet parking is available for $45 per car per night.
Getting Around Downtown Nashville
In Nashville for a special event (like the Country Music Festival) and staying at a downtown Nashville hotel? Then you may not need a car. Downtown Nashville is fairly compact: a Tennessee Titans game, a symphony at the Schermerhorn, a conference at the Nashville Convention Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Predators’ hockey games at Bridgestone Arena are all within a mile of each other, making it easy to walk or hop a cab.
Nashville MTA’s Music City Circuit is a free bus service that runs 3 routes through the downtown Nashville corridor every 10 to 15 minutes, Monday through Saturday. Hop a ride to the Nashville Farmers' Market for lunch, catch happy hour in The Gulch, see the newest exhibit at the Frist or attend a concert at the Ryman.
The Music City Trolley Hop is also a great way to get around Nashville. The trolley offers a 1-hour fully narrated tour, with the option of disembarking at any of 7 stops, including the Ryman Auditorium, Bicentennial Park, Parthenon, Frist Center and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The trolley hop departs from 2nd and Broadway at the Hard Rock Cafe.
If you do have a car, most downtown Nashville hotels provide parking for their guests but it can be quite expensive. Public garages throughout Nashville cost much less. Visit the Park it! Downtown website for locations and costs. And for ideas on where to go and what to see in Nashville, check out these maps.

Hotels throughout Nashville are serviced by a number of taxi companies, although taxi service can become expensive if you venture to several venues around the metro area.
