Virgin Hotels Nashville

"Virgin Hotels Nashville will transform into a Carey-themed winter wonderland courtesy of national pop-up events company Bucket Listers. The pop-up will promote Carey’s three-year-old Irish cream brand Black Irish, and will feature Carey-themed displays, decor, and photo ops. It will serve Black Irish liqueur-based drinks and offer 90-minute time slots for patrons." - Clair Lorell

"The Virgin Hotel’s rooftop is quite the scene on weekends, with a rotating cast of regulars and a long wait to get in. Book a stay or snag a cabana to secure a seat at the French-inspired Music Row hotspot. You’re guaranteed to get some interesting people-watching while you sip large-format cocktails with your crew." - Kellie Walton, Eater Staff, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Virgin Nashville’s speakeasy-style space, The Late Great, is an eclectic, yet comfy, space adorned with folk art paintings, country music memorabilia, love seats, and couches. The bar focuses on savory drinks — like the White Lightenin’ made with vodka, cucumber, lemon, Greek yogurt, and dill — developed by Hope Rice, who formerly collaborated with the bar at Audrey. In lieu of shots, the menu also features “pocket cocktails,” miniature-size versions of classic drinks that are ideal for sampling without committing to the full-size version." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Throughout December, Virgin Hotels Nashville rooftop is Rudy’s Rooftop Retreat, a poolside pop-up with fire pits, fluffy blankets, twinkling lights, and Rudolph-themed decor. Seasonal drinks and treats have made their way on the menu, like Camp Fire beef stew, warm chocolate chip cookies, and hot buttered rum. The hotel is also offering a pool pass that’ll grant you access to the heated 80-degree pool and also includes a complimentary boozy hot chocolate and a Virgin Hotels-branded robe. Passes are $35 per person and can be purchased here." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
