800-room locale to be linked to country music museum
Omni Hotels & Resorts and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum have taken the wraps off the design of the 21-story Omni Nashville Hotel and an adjoining 200,000-square-foot museum expansion. The development will serve as the headquarters hotel for Music City Center, the Tennessee city's new downtown convention center, which is currently under construction and set to open in January 2013.
"The Omni Nashville Hotel and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum will become an ideal launching point to enjoy all that is Music City, attracting meetings and leisure guests to Nashville's core," said Mike Deitemeyer, President of Omni Hotels & Resorts. "This unique arrangement is further evidence of our belief in Nashville and our enthusiasm for becoming part of such a vibrant community and destination."
Omni officials say new Nashville hotel’s design—by Dallas-based by HKS Hill Glazier Studio—is a modern expression of the city's distinct culture and character, incorporating natural materials, exposed steel and regional limestone. The 800-room hotel will be connected to an expansion of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on four levels, sharing meeting and entertainment space and bring additional restaurants and retail venues to the area. Like the Music City Center, the hotel and expansion project is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification.
Work on the hotel is slated to start this summer and be completed a few months after the convention center opens.
