Staycation State of Mind

Our quick escape to 1 Hotel Nashville (and why I’m going back solo)

Hello Style Pantry friends,

We did something simple over Mother’s Day weekend that ended up feeling really special—we booked a one-night staycation at 1 Hotel Nashville. If you’ve stayed at any of their locations (we did Miami a few years ago), you know the vibe: lush greenery, warm woods, calming tones. The energy just feels different—in the best way.

The moment you walk in, the scent pulls you in. I’m not usually one to fall for a hotel fragrance, but this one? I couldn’t get it out of my head. I left with the candle and the room spray. Zero regrets. It just smells like calm.

We checked in around 4 and headed to the rooftop bar—champagne for me, bourbon for Craige. We didn’t have dinner there, but the food looked incredible. The space had this elevated but chill vibe, and it was a good mix of people. Not just the ultra-cool crowd you sometimes find downtown. This felt diverse, welcoming, and a little more real.
