Sheraton Nashville Receives Grand Designation

Skye Rooftop Event Space

Following a $35-million renovation spearheaded by JRK Property Holdings, Sheraton Nashville Downtown has moved into the brand’s prestigious “Grand” category. It is one of just five properties in the United States to receive the distinction.

The reno included the guestrooms; 30,00 square feet of expanded meeting space; a remodeled fitness center; diverse new culinary offerings; and the debut of Skye, an extraordinary penthouse event space overlooking the city.

“JRK is proud to have Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown at the forefront of the widely esteemed Sheraton Grand category,” said Jim Lippman, chairman and CEO of JRK Property Holdings. “We have invested significantly in both the physical design as well as the guest experience to dramatically shift the perception of Sheraton with today’s modern traveller.”

• Skye: Formerly known as Pinnacle, this rooftop event space features a 360-degree view of downtown. Its centerpiece is a tank full of 150 jellyfish.
• New lobby with a lavish 25-storey, hand-blown glass chandelier; a floating wooden staircase, terrazzo tile and plush custom seating areas.
• New f&b offerings including a Library Bar serving more than 50 varietals of bourbon and southern inspired bites, and Broadway Kitchen, which offers casual comfort cuisine in a modern setting.
