Former Nashville hosiery factory transformed into exclusive hotel

A former hosiery factory constructed in the early 1900s in Nashville has been converted into a Soho House hotel and members’ club, designed with nods to its industrial setting and the city’s musical heritage.

The Soho House design team used the building’s industrial past and Nashville’s reputation as the Music City to inform the renovation and decor.

“The house design is influenced by a strong pre-war, European aesthetic, connecting to the building’s history with Bauhaus-inspired, striking geometric patterns, bold industrial finishes, and bespoke fixtures,” said the team.

Playing on the colour of original verdigris copper doors, various teal shades were used across the different spaces to visually tie them together.

Meanwhile, the striped tiling around the swimming pool evokes the pattern of a guitar string board.

“Music City influences do not escape Soho House Nashville with its warm, rich textures of the rock and roll era and decorative patterns that nod to the jazz and blues genres,” the design team said.

The building contains three indoor and outdoor performance spaces, a pool, a health club and a screening room.

Food is offered at Club Cecconi’s, the first in-house restaurant of the Cecconi’s chain of Italian eateries owned by the Soho House group.

At the heart of the building, the Club Room is divided by industrial metal shelving into intimate spaces including a library with a fireplace and a games area.

The Sock Room also celebrates the factory’s prior use for producing socks that astronauts wore to the moon, and now hosts live music and events.

Referencing the machinery once housed in the space, bespoke bar lamps with an industrial aesthetic contrast softer materials like velvet and textured sheer linen.

Soho House Nashville has 47 bedrooms that range in size, including a large loft suite that spans over three floors.

The rooms are furnished with bespoke, locally made designs and vintage accessories, as well as large chandeliers and metal screens that conceal the bathrooms.

“Each bedroom has been designed to feel traditional and cosy with woven tapestries, made with bespoke fabric designed in Nashville specifically for the house, to hide all TVs,” said the team.

A total of 170 pieces were acquired from 41 local artists to be displayed throughout the hotel and club areas.
