STAMFORD, Conn. - May 7, 2014 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE:HOT) today announced that its popular Westin brand will soon launch in Nashville, Tennessee as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the city's vibrant downtown. Opening in early 2017, The Westin Nashville will be located across the street from Music City Center, the recently opened 1.2 million square foot convention center. Construction on The Westin Nashville will start this summer at the previously acquired Cokesbury site. Owned by Nashville Hospitality Capital, LLC and managed by Wischermann Partners, Inc., The Westin Nashville will feature 430 spacious rooms, state-of-the-art meeting space and all the brand's signature amenities designed to inspire well-being.

"We look forward to collaborating with Nashville Hospitality Capital, LLC, and expanding our partnership with Wischermann Partners to introduce the popular Westin brand to downtown Nashville," said Allison Reid, Senior Vice President of North America Development, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. "On track to open its 200th hotel worldwide this year, Westin is enjoying robust growth in North America due to the resounding success of its distinctive wellness positioning and brand-led programs."

Highlights of The Westin Nashville will include a signature restaurant, a rooftop pool and lounge, an indoor pool, full-service spa and WestinWORKOUT® fitness studio. The hotel will also offer approximately 25,800 square feet of leading-edge meeting facilities for meetings and social functions of all sizes, and a business center.

"The Westin Nashville will offer a fresh, new option for visitors to this up-and-coming travel destination, celebrated for its live music scene, world-class entertainment and innovative southern cuisine," said Kevin Fee, Managing Partner of Nashville Hospitality Capital, LLC. "The Westin brand's emphasis on inspiring well-being combined with the experience and insight of Wischermann Partners will be sure to deliver a first-class guest experience."

"This latest announcement underscores the tremendous demand for Nashville among convention and leisure travelers," said Nashville Mayor Karl Dean. "The hospitality industry has always been a significant economic engine and the addition of the Westin brand further validates the investments we've made in it. It's rewarding to see the success of the Music City Center as it continues to reap rewards and spur new development across the city."

"Demand for this city is at a historic high. The addition of the Westin to our hotel package will help ensure our continued success," said Butch Spyridon, President and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. "The 430 rooms, within walking distance of the MCC, lower Broad and The Gulch, with a brand that is new to Nashville makes this a perfect fit. And the timing couldn't be better."

Located at 100 Clark Place, The Westin Nashville will be walking distance to the city's top entertainment venues including Ryman Auditorium and Bridgestone Arena, as well as numerous shops, restaurants, bars and night clubs. Other nearby attractions include the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Country Music Hall of Fame Museum, Music Row and The Pantheon. Less than eight miles from Nashville International Airport (BNA), the hotel will also offer proximity to the offices of KPMG, AT&T and Deloitte.

The sensory-rich environment at Westin offers a respite from the rigors of travel and sets a welcoming tone. The Westin brand's innovative programs and instinctive service transform every aspect of a guest's stay into a revitalizing experience. All guestrooms and suites at The Westin Nashville will feature the world-renowned Westin Heavenly® Bed – featuring lush sheets, down cushioning and a patented pillow-top mattress, which cradles and contours to the body for complete comfort.
