The Union Station Nashville Yards has finished renovations to its 125 rooms and suites and hotel corridors.
The multimillion-dollar facelift pays homage to the building’s former life as a train station, drawing design inspiration from railway travel according, to a news release.
“We’re excited to restore The Union Station to the grandeur and luxury of the past,” said Bill Simmons, general manager of Union Station, in the release. “This building was once the epicenter of American travel, and our reimagining of its design will allow us to restore its stature for future generations.”
These renovations are part of a larger plan, ongoing since Southwest Value Partners acquired the hotel for $56 million in 2020. Phases already complete, in addition to the rooms, are exterior repairs and the launch of dining concept Stationary and lobby bar Ergo.
Projects slated for 2024 include upgrading meeting spaces and the 250-capacity veranda, as well as enhancing the grand lobby with lighting, a new concierge desk and reception pods.
The Union Station, which is part of Marriott International’s (Nasdaq: MAR) Autograph Collection, was originally a terminal on the L&N Railroad. It has been a luxury boutique hotel since 1986, according to its website.
“These elegant guest room renovations underscore our firm’s commitment to creating an exceptional experience at our hospitality properties,” said Cary Mack, managing partner of Southwest Value Partners, in the release. “Whether you stay for the night or come in for a meal, the combination of the hotel’s rich history and modern amenities will leave a lasting impression.”
Nashville Yards is one of Nashville’s most transformative developments, reimagining the entryway to downtown Music City. The 18-acre project includes the Grand Hyatt and The Union Station Nashville Yards, two Amazon towers, 4,500-capacity live music venue and more.
