Designed by Sarah Stacey Interior Design, the king suite features a striking vinyl wall installation with playable records, original album covers and other Nashville music memorabilia, all inspired by the Ryman. A rare Washburn guitar — one of only 243 produced using material from the Ryman’s original oak pews and signed by B.B. King — serves as a centerpiece of the suite’s décor. Listen to a selection of more than 100 records from the comfort of the in-suite listening lounge, complete with two record players, a Bluetooth gramophone and a Marshall speaker.

 

“The magic of Nashville’s music scene lies in its ability to transport you—to make you feel like you’re part of something timeless and alive,” said Ben Thiele, managing director, Noelle Nashville. “The Ryman Vinyl Suite captures that spirit. Inspired by the Ryman, we are able to offer guests an experience that goes far beyond a hotel stay. It’s a chance to live inside Nashville’s musical story, surrounded by the artifacts and sounds that shaped American music history.”
