Inside the Nashville Hotel Where Maren Morris Recorded Her Smash Single

Everybody knows that Nashville is the spot for up-and-coming musicians—it’s been dubbed “Music City” for a reason—but it’s an even better destination for the fans, especially if you’re craving a touch of insider access to your favorite artists. We recently had the chance to explore the newly redesigned Hutton Hotel located in the heart of legendary Music Row, which boasts access to the Writers Studios, where Coveteur-alum Maren Morris recorded her smash hit “The Middle.” If you’re feeling inspired, you can even lay down a track of your own after visiting the two studios.

The recent remodel with Studio 11 also connects the hotel proper to the Analog venue, where we sipped many a few cocktails and caught a show from local group The New Respects. If the serious rock ’n’ roll vibes weren’t enough to convince us to stay in Nashville forever, the food certainly did it. A hot chicken sandwich is a *must-try* local tradition, and luckily Hutton has the WestEnd Kitchen and Bar to whip one up for you, plus the most insane BBQ we’ve ever had. Pack your stretchy pants, y’all, because the South doesn’t mess around with butter or hot sauce. Check out the gorgeous interiors of the hotel, the Writers Studios, Analog, and WestEnd Kitchen and Bar, and get ready to book your ticket ASAP.
