Fans of Dolly Parton may soon have the ultimate place to stay in Music City.

Dolly Parton’s highly anticipated SongTeller Hotel is preparing to open in downtown Nashville, marking the latest addition to the country music icon’s growing hospitality empire. Located just steps from Broadway, the new hotel is designed as a celebration of Parton’s life, music, and decades-long connection to Nashville.

Opening later this year, the property will feature 245 uniquely designed guest rooms and suites, each inspired by Dolly’s signature style, storytelling, and songwriting legacy. The hotel is being described as Dolly’s “love letter” to Nashville and aims to immerse guests in her world from the moment they arrive.

But the hotel is much more than just a place to stay.

The property will also be home to Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum, a sprawling exhibit dedicated to her extraordinary life and career. Located on the third floor of the hotel, the museum will feature costumes, memorabilia, personal artifacts, immersive exhibits, and behind-the-scenes stories spanning every era of her journey from East Tennessee to global superstardom. Disney and theme park fans may recognize the concept as somewhat similar to the museum experiences found at major destination resorts, offering guests a deeper look into the history behind the icon.

Guests can also enjoy two dedicated entertainment venues: Parton’s Live and Jolene’s, both of which will feature live music performances, cocktails, and Nashville-inspired cuisine. The hotel’s design embraces Dolly’s trademark blend of glamour, Southern hospitality, and storytelling, creating an experience that feels uniquely tied to one of country music’s most beloved stars.

The opening represents another major step in Dolly Parton’s expanding tourism portfolio, which already includes the immensely popular Dollywood resort destination in East Tennessee. Industry observers have noted that her growing collection of attractions, resorts, museums, and hospitality offerings continues to strengthen Tennessee’s tourism industry.

Reservations for the SongTeller Hotel are already available for September 15 and beyond, and with Dolly’s devoted fanbase and Nashville’s continued popularity as a travel destination, demand is expected to be high.
