Luxury Hotels in Franklin, Tennessee

Keep The Farm And Town In View

Southall Farm & Inn brings a working-farm setting, a lake and food interests to the accommodation choice. Consider how much attention you want to give that landscape when choosing the stay. Its rural character is part of the experience, alongside the time you choose to spend in Franklin itself.

Read The Downtown Streets Through Architecture

Victorian architecture from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries shapes much of downtown Franklin, with Art Deco details adding another period to the streets. This mixture gives an architecture-focused visit different things to look for, rather than one uniform historical style.

Notice The Franklin Theatre's Film Motif

The Franklin Theatre opened in 1937. Decorative brickwork beside the window near the top of the building is designed to resemble film reels, connecting the facade with the theater's purpose. It is a specific detail to look for when the history of cinema or architectural decoration interests you.

Examine A Carpenter's Show House

For an interest in furniture and woodcarving, the Lotz House adds a craftsman's domestic showroom. German immigrant Johann Albert Lotz, a carpenter and piano maker, completed it in 1858. Three carved fireplace mantels range from simple to elaborate designs. The curved staircase has a solid black-walnut handrail, while its newel post was made from a piano leg. The collection also includes a table handmade by Lotz and a sofa he carved.
