History

5 Favorite Hotels of Former U.S. Presidents

Nashville's original "million-dollar hotel," the Hermitage has been a Tennessee political hot spot since opening in 1910.

From its earliest days, the hotel — named after President Andrew Jackson's nearby estate — has been a go-to for governors, state legislators, and lobbyists, thanks to its location near the Tennessee Capitol. It also played a pivotal role in the historic 19th Amendment, acting as headquarters for many in the fight for suffrage. Of course, the Hermitage has welcomed several U.S. presidents over the years, too. President William Howard Taft was the first to grace the breathtaking Beaux Arts building at a banquet in 1911. Presidents Woodrow Wilson, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon B. Johnson were also known to frequent the Hermitage, along with more recent former presidents including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
