The Renaissance Nashville Hotel [1] is a hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. The building is 385 feet high with 31 floors.[2] The hotel was physically connected to the Nashville Convention Center[3] until the demolition of the convention center in June 2017.[4] Construction began on the 5th + Broadway complex at the location of the former convention center in early 2018,[5] and the Renaissance Hotel will be located at the northwest corner of that development. The 5th + Broadway complex has a predicted completion date of spring 2020.[6]
The hotel contains 649 rooms, 24 suites, 25 meeting rooms with 31,000 sq ft of meeting space, and 2 concierge levels including a Starbucks coffee shop, 2 lounges, and a full-service restaurant.[7] One of the lounges is located in an enclosed bridge walkway, spanning above Commerce Street, which connects the hotel to a parking garage across the street. This walkway was severely damaged during a 1998 tornado in downtown Nashville.[8]
In addition to being a hotel, the building also contains office space in its top 6 floors, this portion being known as CitySpace. These office suites are serviced by a separate bank of elevators accessible on the third floor.[9]
The hotel opened in 1987 as the Stouffer Nashville Hotel. It became the Stouffer Renaissance Nashville Hotel in 1993 and then the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in 1996.[2]
