NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — She’s a country music icon, philanthropist and now host of your stay in Nashville. Starting in spring 2026, visitors to Music City are welcome to check-in and experience southern hospitality, the “Dolly way.”

Dolly Parton’s first Nashville venue is named SongTeller. General Manager Shannon Foster said this is Dolly’s legacy project and the legend has her hands all over it.

“This project is truly Dolly’s love letter to her fans and a love letter to Nashville in particular,” said Foster.”

In addition to a total of 245 guest rooms and themed suites, there are three entertainment options: The Listening Lobby, Parton’s Live and Jolene’s.

“Dolly is known for her kindness, her warmth, her genuine hospitality, so what better way to bring that to life than in a hotel,” explained Foster.

Parton’s Live will offer songwriter sessions and ticketed shows. Jolene’s is on the 11th floor with views of downtown Nashville, dining, drinks and entertainment.
