SongTeller Hotel and Life of Many Colors Museum set to open September 29

Fans of Dolly Parton can soon visit a brand new spot in Music City that promises to be as unique as Dolly herself.

Dolly Parton and Herschend, the company behind some of Tennessee’s most beloved attractions, just announced that Dolly Parton’s SongTeller Hotel and Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum will both open their doors in Nashville on Sept. 29.

This continues a 40-year partnership that has already brought DreamMore Resort & Spa and HeartSong Lodge & Resort to life, and the new hotel is meant to feel like a love letter to the city, packed with that signature warmth, storytelling, and Southern hospitality.

SongTeller Hotel will offer 245 uniquely designed rooms and suites, along with a lively and welcoming vibe right in the heart of the city.

Guests can check out Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum on the hotel’s third floor for an immersive trip through her life and career, guided by Dolly herself with the help of some impressive technology.

Live entertainment is a big part of the experience at this new hotel, with two special venues on-site: Jolene’s, complete with nightly performances from up-and-coming Nashville singers and songwriters, and Parton’s Live, where visitors can enjoy songwriting showcases and even sessions with Dolly’s family members. As part of the grand opening, Richie Owens will perform on Sept. 16 at Parton’s Live, while Jada Star starts her twice-weekly artist-in-residence schedule on Sept. 17 and Sept. 19.

The hotel is partnering with FEMcountry, the group started by Leslie Fram to support women in music, to bring monthly performances by established female artists and songwriters at Parton’s Live.

Tickets for events at Jolene’s and Parton’s Live are available here.

Dolly’s Life of Many Colors Museum, which features pieces from her collection and interactive exhibits that begin in a recreation of her childhood cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains, will also be available to rent for private events like weddings, receptions, and business gatherings.
