Updated: Dec 15, 2020




Graduate Nashville


Taking inspiration from Dolly’s love of Christmas, Graduate Nashville’s lobby, "9 to 5" suite, and F&B components are adorned with 60s, 70s, and 80s inspired gaiety, yet glam holiday décor, while holiday music rings from the lobby. Starting Friday, December 18, guests can marvel at a holiday floral installation crafted by the Nashville Flower Market through the end of December.

White Limozeen will also be offering a variety of Winter Wonderland Cocktails ranging from White Limo Hot Chocolate, White Limo Egg Nog, and more which you can view HERE. For those looking for socially-distanced holiday fun, Graduate Nashville’s high-end animatronic karaoke bar, Cross-Eyed Critters, is re-opening on Saturday, December 12 with limited capacity seating. The bar will be open on Fridays and Saturdays in December from 5pm to 10pm (except for Christmas night), and will be serving a menu of festive holiday cocktails and small bites (menu HERE). Please note that there will be no karaoke at this time and reservations are not required.


Whether traveling from out of town or craving a holiday staycation, guests can book Graduate Nashville’s 9 to 5 suite holiday package starting at $579 per night. The package includes dinner for two at White Limozeen, complimentary unlimited hot chocolate at Poindexter, a complimentary vinyl copy of Dolly’s new Christmas album that guests can play on the record player in the suite, a holiday ornament from White’s Mercantile, an exclusive list of Nashville Christmas shopping recommendations in-room, and a personal concierge.
