The Renaissance Nashville Hotel is a tall building in Nashville, Tennessee. It is a hotel where people can stay. The building is 385 feet (about 117 meters) high. It has 31 floors, which is a lot of levels!

This hotel used to be connected to the Nashville Convention Center. That was a big place for meetings. In 2017, the convention center was taken down.

The Renaissance Nashville Hotel has many rooms for guests. There are 649 regular rooms. It also has 24 special suites, which are like bigger apartments.

Meeting Spaces and More

The hotel is great for events too. It has 25 rooms for meetings. These rooms offer a total of 31,000 square feet of space. That's a huge area for parties or conferences!

A Bridge with a Story

In 1998, a strong windstorm hit downtown Nashville. This storm caused some damage to the special walkway. But it was fixed and is still used today.

Office Spaces in the Sky

The Renaissance Nashville Hotel is not just for hotel guests. The top 6 floors of the building are used for offices. This part is called CitySpace.

How to Get to CitySpace

If you work in CitySpace, you use different elevators. These elevators are only for the office floors. You can find them on the third floor of the building.

A Look Back: The Hotel's First Name

The hotel was not always called the Renaissance Nashville Hotel. When it first opened, it was known as the Stouffer Hotel. Later, a company called Marriott bought the Stouffer Corp. That is when the hotel got its new name.
