Make the most of your long weekend with a low-key, walkable escape based at The Countrypolitan.
Welcome to Your Long Weekend
Labor Day Weekend is your cue to slow down, sleep in, and soak up the final vibes of summer. Nashville is the perfect city for it - vibrant but never overwhelming, and full of pockets where time seems to pause. And when you stay at The Countrypolitan, you’re perfectly placed for a weekend that blends rest, culture, and local flavor - no detailed planning or car keys required.
Friday: Check-In & Ease In
Arrive and breathe - you’ve made it. The Countrypolitan’s lobby welcomes you with bold style and a laid-back energy that instantly shifts your pace. Drop your bags, freshen up, and kick things off with dinner at the hotel’s own Countrypolitan Bar & Kitchen.
Their Field & Fork menu features rotating seasonal dishes crafted from ingredients sourced from boutique farms around Tennessee. From heirloom vegetables to small-batch cheeses, every bite is an introduction to the flavors that shaped Nashville’s food scene.
After dinner, take a leisurely stroll through nearby Printer’s Alley or simply unwind in your room. This weekend isn’t about rushing - it’s about returning to yourself.
Saturday: Stroll, Sip, and Discover
Start your morning slow - maybe coffee and pastries at a nearby café or a full brunch just steps away. Then head out on foot. Within a short radius, you’ll find vinyl shops, vintage bookstores, local boutiques, and small art galleries that offer a slice of Nashville beyond the tourist trail.
Need a break? Find a shady bench along the Cumberland Riverwalk or head to a rooftop bar for a daytime cocktail with a skyline view.
In the evening, stick with your relaxed rhythm. Whether you explore Nashville’s jazz or blues scene, or circle back for a second meal at The Countrypolitan’s kitchen, your options stay flexible and close. No need to venture far when everything you need is nearby.
Sunday: Local Flavor & Quiet Moments
This is the heart of the weekend - the perfect day for unstructured time. Sleep in or grab a seat for breakfast at the hotel. Then spend your day hopping between quiet spots that let you linger: a tucked-away wine bar, a local exhibit, or simply a slow walk through the historic district.
If shopping’s your thing, explore boutiques featuring locally made goods, prints, and artisan wares - ideal for taking home something meaningful, not mass-produced.
Wrap up the evening with another laid-back meal. The beauty of a place like The Countrypolitan is that you don’t have to chase experiences - they’re built into your surroundings.
Monday: One More Moment
Check-out doesn’t mean the weekend is over. After one last breakfast and a few quiet moments, take a final loop through the neighborhood or grab lunch nearby before heading home. You’ll leave not just recharged, but reconnected - to your city escape, to Nashville’s rhythm, and maybe even to yourself.
Stay at the Heart of It All
Whether you’re local to the South or flying in from farther out, a long weekend at The Countrypolitan gives you everything you want in a Labor Day escape: comfort, character, and connection. You won’t just check out rested - you’ll check out with stories, memories, and maybe a new favorite spot or two.
This Labor Day, make your getaway count. Book your stay at The Countrypolitan, and let the weekend unfold naturally, from check-in to check-out.
