Bobby Hotel in Nashville has debuted at the threshold of the city’s cultural offerings beside Printers Alley. New York-based David Mexico Design Group crafted the property to serve as a social refuge that richly celebrates the unique history of the address.
The edgy, gritty-yet-polished aesthetic is expressed with a mixture of industrial materials like steel, titanium, and chains that are offset by warm, herringbone wood floors. A chandelier crafted from car parts is installed in the lobby, illuminating marble columns, reclaimed artisan wood planks, and copper and brass accents. The Rooftop Bar sets the tone for the hotel’s eclectic and rustic appeal with a repurposed 1956 Scenicruiser bus installed within the roof of the venue. Three additional F&B options are housed onsite, including the streetside Café at Bobby, the signature Tavern at Bobby, and Bobby’s Garage, which is equipped with a retractable stage lit by car headlights. All 144 guestrooms are appointed with engaging décor like Rorschach ink blot carpeting, Gonzo-style liter
