Visitors Information for Creative Soul Clients
<back to home - back to About Us >>

One of the great things about traveling to work with Creative Soul is the wonderful city of Cool Springs and Franklin, TN.

Franklin is a unique blend of history and progress. Since it's beginning in 1799, it has grown from a tiny, agricultural community into a strong blend of residential, commercial and corporate citizens. There is much to see and do in Franklin, from a Civil War battlefield, to a host of museums and antebellum mansions, to our thriving downtown shopping area and the Cool Springs Galleria. Just a few miles from town is the Natchez Trace Parkway, and if you like antiques, Franklin has some of the best shops in Tennessee.

Downtown Franklin, comprised of a beautiful 15 block historic district, offers true Southern hospitality with a great American Mainstreet and 200 years of rich history. Visitors will find commemorative brick sidewalks, beautiful landscaping, lovely Victorian architecture, and stunning renovated historic buildings – all located in the heart of Franklin. Downtown Franklin offers elegant shopping, restaurants, antique shops, a variety of clothing stores, art galleries, professional services, and more.

When you are visiting and working with Creative Soul, we recommend you stay near I-65 in the heart of the shopping area called Cool Springs. The area stretches across four exits off I-65, and offers many hotels and restaurants, as well as a good deal of shopping. You'll find a Target, Walmart, 20-Screen movie theater, and even restaurant chain you can think of (and some you can't!) CoolSprings Galleria has over 165 specialty stores, 5 national department stores, and over 20 eateries at the 500-seat Oasis Food Court. For a complete listing of the store directory and for more mall information, please visit http://www.coolspringsgalleria.com.

Hotels

Our clients have stayed in all these hotels and you will find them competitive. If you use Priceline.com, you will find even better deals by entering 2-Star Suite in Franklin, TN and putting in $30-40 per night. The secret is, there is no bad hotel in Franklin, so a 2-star equals a relatively new hotel with lots of safety and shopping.

All the following hotels are within 2-3 miles of each other, and all are within easy driving distance from the studios we will be working in. Please check out the websites for each hotel for reservations, pictures, and full information.

(Note: Because of the distance from the airport, Franklin Hotels generally do not offer airport shuttle service. If you are flying into the Nashville airport, you will need a rental car to drive from and to the airport, as well as to the studio on days we are working together.)
