Literally and practically, Drury Plaza Hotel in Franklin, Tennessee rises above other hotels in the area. Drury Plaza Hotel can be seen from miles around, and its stunning presence is a symbol of luxury for guests. The location is superb for shopping and for business (because many major U.S. corporations have headquarters in Nashville), and the amenities go well-beyond the norm.

Stunning appearance in a coveted location

Franklin, Tennessee is one of the fastest growing destinations in the United States, and travelers along Interstate 65, heading into Nashville from the south, will be stunned by the impressive appearance of the Drury Plaza Hotel. The CoolSprings Galleria, the quaint shops of Downtown Franklin and even the Lotz House Civil War Museum are within a four-mile drive (6.4 km). Downtown Nashville with its Bridgestone Arena and Nissan Stadium are only 18 miles (28.9 km.) away making the Drury a perfect choice for a comfortable night’s stay or as a launching pad for a visit to many attractions.

Guests rooms with plenty of comfortable and practical amenities

Not only is the bedding comfortable and luxurious, the seating in the room contributes to great relaxation and TV-viewing. There is also a convenient desk and chair for guests who are in town for work. Each room has a microwave, a refrigerator, a coffeemaker, an iron and a full-size ironing board. Wireless internet access is complimentary, and parking is free. The lavish toiletries and shower products are by H2O Bath Aquatics.

More than just breakfast

Breakfast at Drury Plaza is a feast with many choices of cold and hot items including pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, along with fresh fruit, cereals, yogurt and unlimited juice and coffee.

The unexpected food offerings, though, happen at the Free 5:30 Kickback. At that time, guests may help themselves to a generous buffet of salads, baked potatoes and pasta, with the menu changing nightly. Although, there are hundreds of restaurant options within a few miles of the hotel, this perk is extremely nice for budget-conscious travelers as well as those with young children or those who want the convenience of staying in the hotel and continuing to work without the hassle of driving.

Complimentary soft drinks and fresh popcorn are also available in the lobby at any time throughout the day and is especially nice when relaxing with a good movie on HBO or a game on ESPN in the guest room.

Options for exercise
