Settle down. MidTenn1 did - and he/she edited their post after I posed my comment.
Attaining the status of "Recommended", "4-Star", and/or "5-Star" is huge to the hotel and its operator. And to do so, one must achieve a certain (internationally recognized) set of standards.
It is what it is.
As previously mentioned. The two ranking authorities in this field are AAA & Forbes. And, it's very hard to reach 4-Star and 5-Star status ("diamond" with AAA).
According to Forbes' star rankings, the State of Tennessee has the following ranked hotels in their 2020 list:
-Blackberry Farm (Memphis; 4-Star)
-The Peabody (Memphis; 4-Star)
-Union Staion Hotel, Autograph Collection (Nashville; Recommended)
AAA records no 5-diamond hotels in Tennessee. However, AAA's 2020 listing shows the following as 4-diamond hotels in the Nashville Metro:
-Bobby
-Fairlane
-Hilton-Downtown
-Hilton-Green Hills
-Hilton-Franklin Cool Springs
-Holston House
-Hutton
-JW Marriott
-Kimpton Aertson
-Loews Vanderbilt
-Noelle
-Omni
-Renaissance
-Hermitage
-Westin
-Thompson
-Union Station
