Walking in a Winter Wonderland: a Visit to the Igloos atop the Bobby Hotel
The Bobby Hotel has decked the halls and built a winter wonderland up on the rooftop lounge! You may have seen the images swirling around on Instagram, but none can capture the magic of it all.
Stepping inside one of their igloos is like stepping inside a snow globe. Cozy up in blankets around an electric “wood burning” stove and enjoy warm winter cocktails while you play board games and snack on fare that will remind you of the best holiday party you ever attended. You could almost swear you’ve landed in a tiny northern ski village, glowing with icy lights that and fire pits, alive with the hustle and bustle of a good time. You can even try your hand at curling!
Classic Christmas movies play in the background to further set the scene. All the while, you’re surrounded by the Nashville skyline, with the AT&T building just overhead and the river stretching out beyond.
It’s magical.
