Jeffrey Soffer, co-chairman and CEO, Turnberry Associates.
The JW Marriott Nashville, scheduled to open summer 2018, has reached its height — a staggering 386 feet — in the Music City skyline. Sitting on one of the highest elevation points in Nashville, the construction milestone moment was celebrated with a topping out ceremony attended by city officials, hospitality partners and industry leaders from around the country.
“The building has already reshaped Nashville’s iconic skyline,” said Jeffrey Soffer, CEO and co-chairman of the property’s ownership organization, Turnberry Associates. “I would like to express our pride in taking part in the remarkable revitalization of one of the country’s most thriving and vibrant cities.”
The JW Marriott Nashville will feature 533 guest rooms and suites, 50,000 sf of meeting space, a trio of award-winning restaurants, including Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak, a full-service Spa by JW, a heated rooftop pool and a state-of-the-art fitness center. The hotel’s distinctive elliptical shape, conceptualized by esteemed architecture firm Arquitectonica, and its stunning and sleek interior, created by design firm Stonehill & Taylor, embodies the creative spirit of Nashville while exuding the approachable luxury of the renowned JW Marriott brand.
“The incomparable location and amenities give our property a unique advantage in the Nashville market,” stated Lukus Kindlesparker, general manager of the JW Marriott Nashville. “We are engaging and building relationships with local vendors to provide the most inspired and immersive Music City experience.”
Turnberry Associates will have infused more than $250 million into the local economy upon completion of the project, and the hotel will provide nearly 400 jobs to the local community by opening.
Stated Kindlesparker in closing, “We’re thrilled to be opening our doors next summer to travelers from all over the world—leisure and business travelers, tourists and locals alike.”
