NASHVILLE, Tenn.
The 224-room Thompson Nashville is set to open in October 2016, marking Thompson Hotels’ first property in the greater South and the first new-build, lifestyle hotel in Nashville.
The hotel is being ushered into Nashville by AJ Capital Partners and The Berger Company, investors, owners and developers of hospitality assets, along with Nashville-based MarketStreet Enterprises, the Master Developer of Music City’s The Gulch neighborhood. Located in the heart of The Gulch, the 224-key luxury boutique hotel, which has a culinary partnership with Chef John Besh’s Our House Hospitality (OHH), is aiming to bring a signature upscale, lifestyle experience to Music City.
Thompson Nashville will rise 12 stories and inhabit the “crown jewel” site within The Gulch, the city’s up-and-coming and vibrant neighborhood. Stationed at the intersection of 11th and 12th Avenues, the hotel’s arrival completes the development of the city block that is the longtime home to legendary music venue The Station Inn. It’s also within a mile of other top cultural attractions.
“It has been an exceptional year of expansion for Thompson Hotels as we introduce the brand to yet another dynamic, growing region of the U.S.,” says Niki Leondakis, CEO of Commune Hotels & Resorts. “There’s no better time to be in Nashville and our mission is to provide a modern experience steeped in local traditions to the many incoming travelers, while also welcoming locals to an energetic destination.”
The hotel’s 224 guest rooms include both king rooms and suites, as well as a penthouse, and have a distinctly residential feel. All rooms include floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden floors. Suites feature high-end wet bars and central hearths. The residential nature of the guest rooms carries through to the bathrooms where guests will find graphic floor tiles offset by milky-toned white tile walls.
Thompson Nashville’s dining outlets will be overseen by John Besh’s Our House Hospitality. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Nathan Duensing, the hotel will feature three distinctive dining options: signature seafood restaurant Marsh House, Killebrew, a coffee shop, and rooftop bar L.A. Jackson.
The hotel will also host 6,185 square feet of meeting and event space on its second floor, comprised of three dedicated meeting rooms and a 1,219-square-foot outdoor terrace.
Reservations can be made now for stays starting Oct. 20, 2016.
