There are sixteen hotels within walking distance of the University at a variety of price points. Parking on campus is difficult, but renting a car should not be necessary. The venue (Featheringill Hall) for the collaboration meeting is in the middle of campus. The closer a hotel is to campus the closer it is to Featheringill, and there are a variety of hotels right on the campus edge.

Vanderbilt is located in the heart of Nashville and is within easy walking distance of several good restaurants, brew-pubs, and entertainment.

To get from the airport to campus and surrounding hotels you can take the Airport Express operated by Gray Line or take a taxi. The cost of a taxi is estimated to be $25 each way.

There is a good Vanderbilt website showing a map of hotels within walking distance of campus. Links are given which give information on “Vanderbilt rates” which you should request when making a reservation.

One nice option listed is the Scarritt-Bennett center, an old converted seminary with gothic architecture and beautifully landscaped grounds. It is very close to campus and offers “nice dorm-style rooms” at $50/night. These are single rooms, each of which shares a full bath with one adjoining room.

There are two relatively distant hotels that offer rates of $69/night, rates for the rest of the hotels vary between $109 to $179.
