The Vibe: Boogie Nights, Liberace goes Wild West.

The Area: East Nashville’s gentrified Cleveland Park neighbourhood.

The DNA: Having earned the title of “one of the most Instagrammable hotels in the world” with their hospitality concepts Urban Cowboy Nashville and Williamsburg, Lyon Porter and Jersey Banks are set to disrupt the world of reimagined roadside motels with the opening of The Dive Motel & Swim Club. Booking an overnight stay guarantees Swim Club access, offering guests complimentary entry to the 60-foot, outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, along with bar and lounge access to the Twin Peaks-esque dive bar located on site. 

Suite-Me-Up: Rooms at Dive Motel Nashville range from kings to double queens, pool suites to penthouses, and each feature a decadent ‘Party Switch’ that spins a disco ball to the tunes of ‘Dive Radio’, which consists of four fixed channels: Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll and Sleep. Kitsch and tongue-in-cheek, no two rooms are the same; although custom furniture, wallpaper, found objects, a Rainbow Caviar-curated minibar and organic EO Bath Products are found in all.
