Conrad Nashville in the Gulch is the marquee new property in the city and prices around 70,000 to 95,000 points a night against $500 to $800 cash on a typical Saturday. Diamond breakfast at the Conrad saves $70 to $90 per day. The annual free weekend night cert covers a Friday or Saturday cleanly and the $400 Hilton resort credit can apply within 12 months at other Hiltons. Nashville's weekend cash rates make this card pay back fast.

Local tip

What to know before you book.

Nashville weekends are bachelorette party central from March through October and downtown hotel rates reflect it (often double weekday rates). Stay in East Nashville or the Gulch for a calmer base. The CMA Awards in mid-November is the single most expensive hotel week of the year.
