The Hermitage Hotel ghost stories

The Hermitage Hotel is a landmark luxury hotel that opened in downtown Nashville in 1910 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Guests and staff over the years have recounted anecdotes of unexplained noises, moving objects, and sightings in public areas and guest rooms; these stories are frequently cited in local guides and ghost-tour narratives. Such anecdotes form part of Nashville’s local lore and are reported without empirical confirmation. The Hermitage continues to operate as a prominent downtown hotel and event venue.
