JLL's Capital Markets group has announced the successful arrangement of a $300 million refinancing for the Omni Nashville Hotel, an 800-key luxury property located in the heart of downtown Nashville. The refinancing was secured on behalf of TRT Holdings, Inc., the hotel’s parent company, through a fixed-rate, seven-year loan facilitated by a U.S.-based insurance company and AllianceBernstein Commercial Real Estate Debt.
A Prime Destination
The Omni Nashville Hotel, a 21-story property seamlessly integrated with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, is celebrated for its prime location at 250 Rep. John Lewis Way South. Opened in 2013, the hotel offers over 80,000 square feet of meeting space, including Nashville's largest hotel ballroom at 23,800 square feet. Its amenities include multiple dining options such as Bob's Steak & Chop House, a rooftop pool, the Mokara spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
Strategic Importance
The property is positioned across from the Music City Center convention facility, which spans 2.1 million square feet. Nashville, one of the top-performing lodging markets in the U.S., draws over 14 million annual visitors, bolstered by both booming tourism and a growing corporate sector.
Expert Insights
Commenting on the financing deal, Kevin Davis, Hotels & Hospitality Group Americas CEO at JLL, said, “The Omni Nashville exemplifies the strength of Nashville's hospitality market, consistently ranking at the top of its competitive set for RevPAR. With its irreplaceable location next to Music City Center and high-quality amenities, the property is well-positioned to continue its market-leading performance as Nashville experiences tremendous growth in both leisure and business travel demand.”
About the Stakeholders
TRT Holdings, Inc., the Dallas-based parent company of Omni Hotels & Resorts, has been a leader in hospitality and real estate since its founding in 1989. AllianceBernstein (AB), a global investment management firm, played an advisory role in securing the loan through Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company.
