◗ GERMANTOWN Why go: Nashville’s first suburb was named after the German immigrants who settled here in the mid-19th century. Recently revived with new shops, hotels and some of the city’s best restaurants, it retains its historical charm. High-end boutiques and art stores occupy original Victorian buildings, putting the area on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s also designated a city arboretum by the Nashville Tree Foundation, as a result of its abundance of leafy lovelies.


What to do: The area has a delicious reputation thanks to restaurants such as Rolf & Daughters. This popular spot serves Mediterranean dishes infused with flavours of southern soul food. Alternatively, recommend Butchertown Hall, a lofty space with chunky wooden tables and a wraparound patio. Its Mexican brunch dishes are especially tasty. One of the newest hangouts, Germantown Bar, has a restaurant, terrace area and vintage trolley car that has been converted into a bar. Suggest clients walk it all off by


exploring the many bookshops and boutiques, including luxury footwear company Peter Nappi, and Wilder, which sells a mix of unique home goods and souvenirs. Or recommend a walking tour with Local Tastes of Nashville, which takes guests around Germantown and the


Gulch, with tasty bites to sample along the way. The Tennessee State Museum, due to open on October 4, and the huge outdoor Nashville Farmers’ Market are also a short stroll away. Where to stay: The Germantown Inn became the area’s first hotel
