On Sept. 29th, two new Dolly Parton centered destinations will officially open in Nashville, celebrating her vibrant life and paying a Dolly-style tribute to Music City.

Dolly Parton's Song Teller Hotel and Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum will open jointly, commemorating the star, and offering guests southern hospitality through their stay at the decorated hotel, as well as an immersive experience to her incredible life through the museum that will take visitors through all the moments in Dolly's journey.

The essence of the new openings feels entirely Dolly, as the late country legend continues her legacy by giving a wonderful gift to fans, Nashville natives and enthusiasts, all while simultaneously taking care of her family and honoring the musicians that will come after her.

Twelve floors exist inside the Song Teller Hotel standing tall in Dolly's home state, with 245 unique guest rooms and suites - and on the third floor, her Life of Many Colors Museum.

Nothing Dolly ever did was ordinary, and that certainly doesn't stop with the opening of the hotel - more than a place for guests to rest their heads, this spot features two live music and entertainment venues, one being 'Jolene's' on the top floor, where Nashville's up and coming artists will be hosted nightly, and the other being 'Parton's Live,' where writer's rounds, songwriter sessions and rising-star showcases will take place, giving guests an introductory-level course to the culture behind Nashville songwriting.

All it takes is a quick elevator ride a quarter of the way to the top to see the rather alluring Life of Many Colors Museum, where guests can experience twenty different decked-out rooms each thoughtfully crafted to honor specific eras, achievements, and daily life activities of the star, such as the "Dolly in the Movies" room and the "Imagination Library" section.

The museum will also feature Dolly herself hosting guests, as developers utilize the latest technology and recordings of the country legend from earlier this year to take guests through her life story, spanning from humble beginnings in Tennessee to worldwide recognition.

Keeping it in the family, Dolly's cousin, Richie Owens, will perform at 'Parton's Live' in the Song Teller Hotel on Sept. 16th, just two days after guest reservations open. Moreover, Parton's niece, Jada Star, will launch her twice-weekly artist-in-residence Sept. 17th and 19th.

Continuing her well-honored philanthropy, Song Teller Hotel will also be partnering with 'FEMcountry,' to help champion women in music and spotlight female artists and performers through monthly performances in 'Parton's Live.'

Guest reservations for Dolly Parton's Song Teller Hotel open Sept. 14th, and beginning Sept. 29th, the opening date for both destinations, tickets for Dolly's Life of Many Colors Museum will be available for purchase.
