Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel and Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum are officially open in downtown Nashville, welcoming guests to a new destination inspired by the life, career and legacy of one of the world’s most beloved entertainers.
Located in the heart of Music City, SongTeller Hotel offers a one-of-a-kind stay rooted in Dolly’s deep connection to Nashville, while Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum provides an immersive journey through her extraordinary life and career. Together, the hotel and museum offer fans and visitors an opportunity to experience Dolly’s story through music, memorabilia, fashion, film, television, philanthropy, family, faith and the moments that helped shape her remarkable journey.
Dolly was deeply involved throughout the development of both the hotel and museum, working closely with her team and the creative partners involved in bringing the vision to life. From reviewing details and sharing stories and memories to making creative decisions throughout the process, Dolly’s personal touch can be found throughout all aspects of the property. Her involvement, alongside the collaboration of her team and AOA, helped ensure that the spaces felt authentic to her life, her career and her connection to Nashville.
SongTeller Hotel features 240 signature rooms and suites, complemented by elevated dining, SongTeller Café, live entertainment and immersive experiences inspired by Dolly’s life and artistry. At the heart of the hotel is Parton’s Live, a vibrant celebration of Dolly’s music and performance legacy, alongside Jolene’s, an intimate live music and entertainment space on the hotel’s top floor, inspired by one of Dolly’s most iconic songs.
Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum begins with Dolly herself, guiding guests into her story from the very beginning. The experience opens on January 19, 1946, the night Dolly was born, before taking visitors through the many chapters of her life and career. Guests journey through her childhood and young years in the Great Smoky Mountains, her early days performing and finding her place in country music, her rise through the Opry stages, and her evolution into a global music superstar and Hollywood icon.
“Dolly’s greatest legacy may be the way she has made people feel - seen, welcomed, inspired and connected. That is the spirit we hope guests feel the moment they walk into SongTeller.” -- Shannon Foster, General Manager, SongTeller Hotel
