Pendry Hotels & Resorts has partnered with SomeraRoad, a Nashville and New York-based real estate investment and development firm, and Trestle Studio, to bring Pendry Nashville and Pendry Residences Nashville to the growing Paseo South Gulch district. The hotel is expected to break ground immediately and will open in 2027.
The property will be designed by local Nashville architectural firm, ESa (Earl Swensson Associates Inc.), and New York-based interior design studio, Post Company. It will feature 180 guestrooms and suites, 146 Pendry Residences, a ground floor restaurant and lobby bar, a rooftop pool with a rooftop garden restaurant and bar, an indoor and outdoor fitness center, a writer’s room and library which doubles as a meeting space, a junior ballroom with a show kitchen and a ballroom with private outdoor terrace. The second floor collectively provides 10,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space.
The design will exude southern sophistication with cozy fireplaces and gracious seating arrangements. Italian marbles, warm woods and burnished brass accents with an eclectic mix of vintage pieces and collected artworks will be featured throughout the hotel, according to the developers.
“It’s an exciting moment for us to be able to bring the Pendry brand to Nashville,” said Alan J. Fuerstman, founder/chairman/CEO, Montage International. “The Paseo South Gulch is such a dynamic and desirable location, already home to a collection of fantastic and acclaimed brands and concepts. We look forward to capturing the true sense of spirit that’s so unique to the city, and showcasing all that Pendry has to offer.”
The 146 residences will offer best-in-class architecture and design, spacious floorplans, bespoke finishes and breathtaking city views, according to developers. Exclusive residential amenities include a private residential pool, offering a unique rooftop experience including a dining room, whiskey and billiards room, security, parking, personalized services, property management and more.
