- Vision Hospitality Group, Inc. began construction
this week on a Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott located in the
Gulch
district of Downtown Nashville. This hotel is one of six
Marriot-branded hotels
either in operation or development in Tennessee for the
Chattanooga-based firm.
This hotel will be the first to be developed in
this dynamic neighborhood. The hotel will be eight stories high with
126 rooms
and suites, and an attached parking garage. The Fairfield Inn &
Suites,
Nashville Downtown @ the Gulch has been designed to complement the
contemporary
feel of the Gulch, and along with the modern design, the hotel will
feature
rooftop meeting space that will have panoramic views of the Nashville
skyline.
The Gulch is known for its commitment to
environmental responsibility, becoming an official LEED certified Green
Neighborhood in 2009. In keeping with the characteristics of the
neighborhood
the Fairfield Inn & Suites will pursue LEED certification. Vision
Hospitality Group’s President & CEO Mitch Patel explained that this
new
hotel will be both an exceptional addition to the company’s portfolio
and a
“unique contribution to the Marriott brand”.
“Our continued partnership with Marriott
reinforces our ongoing strategy to invest in premium brands in growing
markets,” Patel said. “We look forward to becoming a part of this
growing
neighborhood.”
The Fairfield Inn & Suites is projected to
open in February of 2014, and is one of eight Vision properties
currently under
construction. The Chattanooga-based company has a portfolio that
currently
includes two properties in the Greater Nashville region; the Hyatt
Place
Nashville Airport and the Hilton Garden Inn Nashville/Franklin/Cool
Springs
with two additional hotels in development; the Residence Inn and
Courtyard by
Marriott in Murfreesboro, TN.
