The country legend announced that the SongTeller Hotel, located in downtown Nashville, is now accepting reservation requests ahead of its planned June 2026 opening, and that pre-sale ticketing has also begun for the hotel’s in-house museum, Dolly’s Life of Many Colors — a 20,000-sq-ft exhibition space devoted to her career and personal story.
Parton shared the update in an Oct. 29 Instagram Reel, smiling into the camera and speaking directly to fans as she introduced the two-part concept.
“Today I’m excited to share some big news with you about my brand new SongTeller hotel and Life of Many Colors museum right here in downtown Nashville,” she said, encouraging viewers to explore renderings and booking options on the project’s website.
designed as an immersive Dolly universe
According to project materials, the hotel will include 245 guest rooms and suites — each styled to reflect Parton’s songwriting history and visual identity. Renderings show a brightly colored lobby with butterfly-inspired hanging fixtures, lyric motifs along the walls and flooring elements shaped like guitars. Additional art elements highlight moments from Parton’s six-decade career.
Room concepts previewed include the “Acoustic Suite” and a signature guest room with guitar-shaped accent décor.
The release describes the hotel as “Dolly’s love letter to the city of Nashville” — a physical extension of the storytelling she has long been associated with.
two on-site performance spaces
The SongTeller Hotel will also include two original live-music venues — Jolene’s and Parton’s Live — each designed to host performances by Nashville-based artists as well as feature localized food and beverage menus.
the museum: the largest dedicated Dolly exhibition yet
The third floor will house Dolly’s Life of Many Colors museum — billed as the largest curated public exhibition dedicated to Parton to date. It will be open to visitors whether or not they are hotel guests.
Parton’s message to fans
In her announcement, Parton closed with a simple invitation:
“Can’t wait to see you next summer.”
The hotel remains under construction — but reservations, and a new wave of Dolly-themed tourism planning, have officially begun.
