Local Accommodation Options

NOTE: Please book your accommodations as early as possible to ensure availability.

  • The Russell – close to the dojo. It’s a little expensive, but it’s worth noting that they give away a generous percentage of each night’s stay to local nonprofits who are helping those experiencing homelessness here in Nashville.
  • SpringHill Suites – Nashville Metro Center, 250 Athens Way — Hotels in Metro Center may have better rates than ones downtown. Still just a 10 minute drive to dojo.
  • For Airbnb options, look in East Nashville for accommodations most convenient to the Dojo.
  • The dojo is also an option! We have plenty of mat space and showers in the dojo for those in need of local housing. There is no fee to stay at the dojo. Please let us know in advance if possible.
