Hyatt Hotels and HRI Properties will convert Nashville’s
James Robertson building to a hotel that will be a part of Hyatt’s new Unbound
Collection.
Hyatt and HRI will spend about $50 million converting the
property, which was built as the James Robertson Hotel in 1929. It was
converted to an apartment building in 1978. The building is listed on the
National Registry of Historic Places.
Once completed, the downtown Nashville hotel will have 191 guestrooms
and a rooftop bar. It will be located next to the Nashville Convention Center
and three blocks form Music City Center.
Hyatt launched the Unbound Collection earlier this year. The
group currently has five hotels, including Miami Beach’s Confidante and the
Driskill in Austin, Texas.
