White Limozeen at the Graduate Hotel

In the heart of Midtown Nashville, the Graduate Hotel brings the country-glam flair of Dolly Parton to life in the form of a lively rooftop bar. The White Limozeen offers a whimsical retreat that acts as a candy-colored homage to the country star who is lauded for her extensive songbook, iconic vocals and generous spirit. 

When you step into this pink-and-floral paradise, you’re surrounded by bright decor, velvet-clad chairs and a sparkling swimming pool. Three hundred-and-sixty-degree views of Music City complete the experience and make White Limozeen an ideal spot to catch some rays poolside. 

The cocktail menu is just as spectacular, with expertly crafted creations such as the pink Queen of the Rodeo or the Tequila-based In a Honky Tonk Down in Mexico. You can also enjoy lunch or dinner with a view, as the menu includes small plates, entrees such as steak or trout and dessert to top it all off. 

The Dolly vibes extend beyond the rooftop bar too. The Graduate Hotel’s lobby offers a nostalgic nod to Southern charm, with polished terrazzo floors, amphitheater-style seating and a hook-rug portrait of Minnie Pearl, who Parton considers a country music trailblazer.

Each guest room at the Graduate Hotel reflects the same chic style; think pink-and-white pinstripe walls, lavish bed canopies and rhinestone accents throughout. The 9 to 5 Presidential Suite is a standout, featuring shaggy pink carpeting, feathered lampshades and a disco-ball-tiled ceiling that adds some extra glamour to your stay.

For a dose of fun and entertainment, head to Cross-Eyed Critters, the hotel’s animatronic karaoke bar, where guests can belt out their favorite country tunes with the help of robotic backup band members such as Ernie Bear, who wears a musical-note suit inspired by Hank Williams Sr. The critter-led band performs renditions of classic Dolly Parton hits including “Jolene,” “9 to 5” and others. 101 20th Ave. N., Nashville, Tennessee 37203, 615/551-2700, hilton.com
