A Love Letter to Music City

Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel is described as the country music icon’s love letter to Nashville, with her signature charm and songwriting spirit woven into all two hundred forty five uniquely designed rooms and suites. The hotel promises an immersive, one-of-a-kind experience featuring Southern-inspired charm, rich storytelling throughout the property, and two original live music venues, Parton’s Live and Jolene’s, showcasing performances from Nashville’s most talented artists alongside craft cocktails and elevated Nashville-inspired cuisine.

Parton expressed excitement about opening the hotel and museum, noting that Broadway has become a hub of tourism and this felt like the right time to bring something special to Nashville’s vibrant entertainment district. She emphasized her long-held dream of creating something meaningful in Music City, the place she calls home.

Hotel reservations are available at www.songtellerhotel.com or by calling 1-877-SONGTELLER. A limited-time “Welcome, SongTeller” package offers ten percent off the best available room rate per night, plus two museum tickets.

Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum: The Largest Exhibition Dedicated to Dolly Parton

The museum, spanning the entire third floor of the hotel, more than twenty thousand square feet, is designed to immerse visitors in Dolly Parton’s extraordinary journey from her humble beginnings in the Smoky Mountains to becoming a global icon. The exhibition chronicles her decades-spanning career across music, film, television, and philanthropy, as well as the personal values of family and faith that remain central to her story.

Curated exhibits feature behind-the-scenes artifacts, multimedia installations, and personal stories told through Parton’s own perspective. The museum also includes two distinctive and expansive retail stores offering official Dolly Parton merchandise and exclusive collections.

Pre-sale tickets for the museum are available at www.dollyslifeofmanycolors.com, and a hotel reservation is not required to visit the museum. Parton emphasized that the museum is a place where visitors can see her journey through her own eyes, every color, every story, and every dream that brought her to where she is today.

Tourism Impact: Boosting Nashville’s Cultural and Economic Profile

The opening of Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel and museum represents a major boost for Nashville’s tourism industry, already one of the fastest-growing in the United States. Nashville attracts over seventeen million visitors annually, drawn by its live music venues, historic landmarks, culinary scene, and vibrant entertainment culture.

The addition of a two hundred forty five-room boutique hotel with two live music venues directly on Broadway enhances the city’s hospitality infrastructure, addressing growing demand for unique, experiential accommodations. The hotel’s immersive storytelling and Southern hospitality align with Nashville’s brand as “Music City,” offering guests authentic connections to the artists and traditions that define the region.

The museum further strengthens Nashville’s cultural tourism offerings, complementing existing attractions such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, Ryman Auditorium, Grand Ole Opry, and Johnny Cash Museum. As the largest exhibition dedicated to Dolly Parton, it is expected to attract fans from around the world, extending average visitor stays and increasing spending on accommodations, dining, retail, and entertainment.

Partnership with Herschend: Proven Track Record in Hospitality

The SongTeller Hotel is a partnership between Dolly Parton and Herschend, the world’s largest family-held themed attractions company. Their forty-year relationship has created beloved resort destinations such as Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort & Spa and Dollywood’s HeartSong Lodge & Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, each rooted in warmth, storytelling, and Southern hospitality.

Herschend brings its signature Heartspitality promise, Love in All We Do Every Day, to the Nashville project, ensuring that the SongTeller Hotel delivers first-class amenities, welcoming atmospheres, and memorable guest experiences consistent with Dolly Parton’s values and brand.

Live Music Venues and Culinary Experiences

Parton’s Live and Jolene’s, the two on-site entertainment venues, will feature live performances from talented Nashville artists, offering guests access to authentic Music City experiences without leaving the hotel. The venues will also serve craft cocktails and elevated Nashville-inspired cuisine, combining entertainment with culinary excellence.

These additions position the SongTeller Hotel as both a destination unto itself and a gateway to broader Nashville experiences, appealing to music lovers, tourists, and locals seeking high-quality entertainment and dining.

Economic and Community Impact

The hotel and museum are expected to generate significant economic benefits for Nashville, including job creation in hospitality, entertainment, retail, and museum operations. The project also supports local artists, musicians, vendors, and suppliers, reinforcing Nashville’s creative economy.

By attracting international visitors and extending average stays, the SongTeller Hotel contributes to sustained tourism growth, supporting tax revenues and community investment in infrastructure and public services.
