A 5-star Ritz-Carlton Hotel is coming to Nashville s SoBro District, the project s developer announced this week.
The two-tower $585 million development will also include for-sale condominiums, Ritz-Carlton branded rental apartments and a signature rooftop restaurant, according to a news release.
The mixed-use project, located on a parcel next to the Korean Veteran Boulevard roundabout acquired by M2 Development partners for $35 million in March 2020, is targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2025.
The Ritz-Carlton will be Nashville s third 5-star hotel, following The Hermitage Hotel and the Four Seasons, which is still under construction. While we have reached a point where more hotel rooms for the sake of more isn t always good, the proposed Ritz Carlton is an important and strategic addition, CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation Butch Spyridon said in a written statement.

No Nashville festivities would be complete without a trip to Monell’s for their annual Victorian Christmas Dinner. This historic family-style restaurant, located inside a 19th-century townhouse in Germantown, is all about honest, southern soul food. Come December, folk flock here to sit at the communal tables and feast on holiday favourites like stuffed jalapeños, Tennessee bread soup and beef with Béarnaise sauce.
