Fly into BNA, Nashville International Airport. It is about 15 minutes from the venue or anywhere near downtown. Lyft's and Uber's are the easiest to use, because parking downtown can be expensive and inconvenient, but renting a car gives you a little more freedom. Renting a car is good if you are staying at an AirBnB, just don't drive to downtown.
Everything in and around Nashville is pretty easy to get to and it doesn't usually take more than about 15 to minutes to get anywhere. Our venue, The Cordelle, is right on the Southeast edge of downtown.
Lots of hotel options close to the venue and downtown. We don't have an official hotel. AirBnB is a great option. Look for something in East Nashville, 12 South, Berry Hill, Woodbine, or Germantown. Brentwood and Franklin might feel close, but they are not.

Holiday Inn and Suites Nashville Downtown Broadway
Hilton Garden Inn Nashville Downtown/Convention Center
Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown
Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
All of these are within five minutes of the venue and walking distance to downtown Nashville.
