Dolly Parton's Nashville Hotel Opens Reservations for 2026

Dolly Parton fans can now book their stay at a hotel that's pure Dolly, even though they'll have to wait until summer 2026 to check in.

The SongTeller Hotel in downtown Nashville just opened reservations, marking a major milestone for the country music legend's first hospitality venture in Music City. Located near Broadway, the hotel sits within walking distance of Nashville's iconic music venues and tourist hotspots.

"I've always dreamed of being able to create something here in Music City and I know we've found the perfect addition to the city I call home," Parton shared on her website. For someone who has given the world everything from "9 to 5" to Dollywood, bringing her magic to Nashville's hotel scene feels like a natural next chapter.

General Manager Shannon Foster says opening reservations this early allows the team to build relationships with future guests and plan staffing to deliver an authentic experience. It's a thoughtful approach that reflects the same care Parton puts into everything she touches.

The hotel is designed as more than just a place to sleep. It's a music lover's destination where guests can experience live performances, songwriter rounds, and Southern hospitality with a Dolly twist.

Select rooms and suites will draw inspiration from Parton's songwriting career, letting fans sleep surrounded by the stories that shaped country music. The property will feature Parton's Live for intimate songwriter performances and Jolene's, named after her 1973 classic, offering live entertainment with dinner and cocktails.

Both venues will be ticketed experiences, meaning no fighting crowds to enjoy the music. It's the kind of detail that shows real consideration for guest experience.

The Ripple Effect

The hotel's impact extends beyond providing beds and entertainment. Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum, located on the property's third floor, will give visitors a chance to see Parton's journey through her own perspective.

"This museum is a place where folks can see my journey through my own eyes, every color, every story, and every dream that brought me here," Parton explained. For a woman who grew up in a one-room cabin in the Smoky Mountains and became a global icon, that's a story worth telling.

The hotel will also feature a retail boutique with Parton-inspired merchandise, from clothing to accessories. It's another way for visitors to take a piece of the experience home with them.

Foster emphasizes that music sits at the heart of everything. "Envisioned by our 'Dreamer in Chief' (Dolly), the hotel is a place to honor music, creativity and true Southern hospitality," she said.

Nashville has transformed into a tourism powerhouse in recent years, and Parton's timing couldn't be better. The SongTeller Hotel adds something genuinely special to a city already bursting with energy and creativity, all wrapped in the warmth only Dolly Parton can deliver.
