Hospitality

Akwaaba Bed & Breakfast Inns is the upscale lodging collection owned by husband-and-wife team Glenn Pogue and Monique Greenwood. The couple fell in love with inns when they stayed at their first bed and breakfast back in the early ’90s. As guests, they enjoyed the hominess and intimacy of the B&B experience, and Monique quickly discovered that innkeeping combined all her personal passions – architecture and interior decorating, entertaining and meeting new people while helping them create wonderful, lasting memories. She serves as president and CEO of the company.

There’s nothing like The Ivy Hotel. Gorgeous, romantic and welcoming, The Ivy is a bastion of world-class hospitality in a historic Mount Vernon mansion. Seventeen beautiful guest rooms and suites, charming public spaces, a small luxury spa, and our acclaimed culinary concept, Magdalena, A Maryland Bistro.

Located in the heart of East Nashville, Urban Cowboy’s eight uniquely designed suites are housed in a historic Victorian mansion dating back to the 1800’s. Eight guest rooms but two bars (because we’ve got our priorities straight). The main house is home to our Parlor Wine Bar, with nightly live music performances by some of Nashville’s best artists. The Public House is our bar ‘out back’ – housed in an old carriage house and equal parts local watering hole / cocktail lover’s paradise. Roberta’s pizza, famous from Brooklyn, serves up wood-fired pizza right in our own backyard. You’ll leave us full, buzzed, and inspired.

Please note our hotel rooms are 21+.
