Ragland Company, the hotel features 210 guestrooms, 2,200 square feet of indoor and outdoor event/meeting space, a large fitness center, and flexible common spaces for working, socializing and hosting small events.

“HRI is thrilled to open the second Caption by Hyatt hotel in the U.S. and play a pivotal role in the growth of this select-service upscale brand,” said Michael Coolidge, chief investment and development officer, HRI Hospitality. “The Caption by Hyatt brand brings a fresh design perspective and unique food and beverage offerings to the heart of Nashville’s Gulch district. We look forward to collaborating with Hyatt to continue growing this exciting brand together.”

The hotel’s location in The Gulch neighborhood, which sits between downtown Nashville and the West End, gives guests easy access to Music City’s famed Broadway Street as well as retail shops, restaurants, bars and live entertainment.

The rich history of The Gulch, a former industrial and railroad hub, is reflected in the property’s design. Its guestrooms are accented with bold pops of color and Nashville-inspired decor. Headboard murals are inspired by train yards, while the corridor walls feature large sketch-style drawings of trains. The stenciled room numbers are a nod to boxcar numbering. Meeting rooms are named after rail industry terms, and several curated art pieces throughout the property incorporate railway motifs. On the first floor, the entry art installation weaves together train imagery and lyrics from iconic train songs.
