The 235-room Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Nashville will open in the downtown SoBro entertainment neighbourhood, and will boast The Spa at Four Seasons and work with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak.

Designed by Solomon Cordwell Buenz, the hotel sits in a 40-storey glass tower and will also have a spa and resort-style rooftop deck with an infinity-edge pool.

Guest accommodation at Four Seasons Hotel Nashville includes 193 rooms and 42 suites located between the 7th and 14th floors, with the hotel also home to 144 private residences on its uppermost floors.

Antoine Chahwan, Four Seasons president, hotel operations Americas East, said: “With every new location, Four Seasons takes inspiration from the local community and culture, celebrating what makes it special today, and proudly contributing to its future. Nashville’s creative spirit makes it one of the country’s most exciting destinations, and it will soon be home to a truly exceptional Four Seasons experience.”

The interior design of the hotel is by Marzipan and HOK and pays tribute to Tennessee’s iron industry heritage, using steel, copper, bronze and the state’s native black walnut, while an art collection features local and international artists, including more than 700 reproductions by Berlin-based artist Gregor Hildebrandt.

“Opening up for reservations brings us one step closer to our opening day, and we simply can’t wait,” said Richard Poskanzer, general manager of Four Seasons Hotel Nashville.

“The city’s authentic Southern hospitality and our own commitment to treating our guests with genuine warmth and care are a perfect match. From the beginning, we’ve been welcomed with open arms, and with a large proportion of our staff being recruited locally, we feel a part of this incredible community even before opening our doors.”

Four Seasons Hotel Nashville will introduce Mimo Restaurant and Bar, which will blend south Italian cuisine with Southern US influences, as well as serving creative cocktails and local brews.

As well as being close to the entertainment highlights of the city, the hotel is also walking distance to the homes of the Tennessee Titans and the Nashville Predators, and is within easy reach of GEODIS Park, the home of Nashville SC, the city’s Major League Soccer team.

It is also one block from Broadway, close to Riverfront Park, the Cumberland River and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge as well as being 15 minutes from Nashville International airport.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts currently has 124 hotels and resorts, and 50 residential properties in 47 countries.
