Dream Nashville celebrates its grand opening in downtown today, and the 168-room hotel introduces a portfolio of new swanky dining and nightlife options for downtown. Dream Nashville’s historic Printers Alley placement breathes new life into the 1800s-era entertainment district, adding layers of playfulness and sophistication for 2019 — and there’s even a walk-up sandwich window.
Dining-wise, Stateside Kitchen is the flagship restaurant of the Dream Hotel, showcasing “seasonal cuisine in an intelligent setting.” Stateside Kitchen is open Sunday through Thursday from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. At the helm at Stateside Kitchen — executive chef Michael Kopfman and his collective of Hillstone Restaurant Group alumni. The brasserie-style restaurant sits beneath a a Gehry-esque glass atrium, serving a wide array of sushi options, massive steaks, and more.
