Urban Cowboy

So many innkeepers work to restore and maintain their properties’ historic aspects to a T—but not Lyon Porter and Jersey Banks. The creatives behind Urban Cowboy drew on Music City’s fusion of hard rock and honky-tonk to bring a unique design aesthetic to this Victorian mansion, built in the 1890s in East Nashville. The Urban Cowboy Bed & Breakfast’s eight suites boast an eclectic blend of wallpapers, textures and colors (the owners call it Southwestern Deco) accenting each with Pendleton blankets and fur throws. Chat with other guests in the communal parlors, grab a drink at the public bar out back, indulge in in-room spa treatments or get out and explore the lively Five Points neighborhood.
