Hotel Preston (733 Briley Pkwy., 615/361-5900, www.hotelpreston.com, $110–140) is a boutique hotel near the airport. Youthful energy, modern decor, and up-to-date rooms set this property apart from the crowd. Rooms are stocked with Tazo tea and Starbucks coffee and there’s and a 24-hour fitness center. The “You-Want-It-You-Got-It” button in each room beckons the 24-hour room service, and whimsical extras including a lava lamp, pet fish, and art kit are available by request when you check in. High-speed Internet is an add-on extra. Naughty packages—like the “Ooey Gooey Night Out” couple’s getaway with late check-out, wine, and whipped cream on request—prove that this isn’t your parents’ motel, though the hotel caters equally to business travelers with meeting rooms and a business center. Two restaurants, including a bar and nightclub, provide food and entertainment.
