Music City vibe? We call it Loews Vanderbilt­—and invite you to settle into accommodations
that are as down-home comfy as they are chic and luxurious.

Vanderbilt University. Tech-lovers will appreciate our oversized flat-panel TVs and
complimentary Wi-Fi. While those who crave creature comforts will take pleasure in our
Egyptian cotton sheets, personal bar, and Comfort Zone skin and body care products.

the World, we will accommodate you in a space where you can unwind in ultimate comfort.
