After nearly seven months of extensive reconstruction and renovations, the hotel officially opened its doors this week. A three-day Grand Re-opening celebration is taking place with thousands of meeting planners and honored guests being invited to enjoy the best entertainment that Music City USA has to offer. The re-opening celebration is designed to showcase the entire city of Nashville as the perfect travel destination for business or pleasure.
