Hall of Fame • 2008
Winner - The Hermitage Hotel - Nashville, Tennessee
The Hotel Hermitage in Nashville (named after Andrew Jackson's Hermitage estate) opened its doors on September 17, 1910.
Only the finest materials were used: Italian sienna marble in the entrance; wall panels of Russian walnut; a cut, stained glass
ceiling in the vaulted lobby; Persian rugs; and massive, overstuffed furniture. As Nashville's first million-dollar hotel, it was the
preferred gathering place for the city's socialites. The Hermitage Hotel was a symbol of Nashville's emergence as a major
Southern city. The restrooms reflect this care in craftsmanship as well.
