Vandyke Bed & Beverage™ Visitors Stay, Locals Enjoy
Written by Alexandra Rhett / Photographed by Jessica Amerson On ode to classic beauty and sophisticated softness, Vandyke Bed & Beverage™ is a new luxury boutique hotel and local bar founded by Doug Martin and Justin Prince along with their Nashville-based team, who is also behind the popular restaurant and bar Geist. Coining the unique concept, “bed & beverage,” this property features intimate, bespoke accommodations with eight stylish suites, a ground floor bar and outdoor patio, as well as a private rooftop terrace, accessible to guests only. Since opening their doors in early spring 2019 in the heart of East Nashville’s vibrant Five Points neighborhood, this innovative concept has undoubtedly brought a flare unlike any other to the area. Upon arrival into the main restaurant and bar space, guests and locals alike can instantly feel the blushing, southern garden inspiration with soft emerald greens, brushed gold accents and pops of pastels. The centerpiece of the room is a unique, everso-chic, custom-made green velvet banquette that certainly sets 66 slmag.net
the stage for what’s to come throughout the space. To the right, a large garage door can be opened to allow for fresh air and sunshine to beam through on nice days, and with marble tables throughout, whether with friends, family or even a good book, you’ll find it hard to leave. Check-in is located at the main bar, as this allows for guests to have a warm and inviting first experience before settling into their room. Inspired by the spirits served at the downstairs bar, each of the eight rooms and suites at Vandyke Bed & Beverage are designed to give homage to eight themes: Rum, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Wine, Beer, Champagne and Whiskey. The rooms range from a chic suite with touches of gold and rose (the Champagne Room) to a vibrant tropical oasis (the Rum Room) to the loft-like, “top-shelf ” retreat with a punch of retro and two sets of bunk beds (the Whiskey Room). The epic design concept of the space was spearheaded by local interior designer, Brooke Prince.
