Boutique Hotel Design: How We Turned a 1950s Motel into Salt Ranch Nashville

When I first walked onto that 2.5 acres in East Nashville, I saw a tired 1950s motel. The bones were there, sure. But the design was dated, cramped, and honestly, forgettable. I knew right then that boutique hotel design would make or break this project. And I wasn't interested in another cookie-cutter renovation. I wanted something that felt like Palm Springs met Southern hospitality. Something locals would actually want to hang out at, not just tourists passing through.
