Hardin Construction Co. and Hunt Construction Group have broken ground on a 13-story Hyatt Place hotel in downtown Nashville. The hotel is a joint venture between White Lodging Services Corp., and Host Hotels and Resorts Inc. The 13-story hotel, White Lodging’s second hotel in Nashville, will include 3,600 square feet of meeting space and a 163-space parking garage. All 255 suites are 20 percent larger than the average hotel room, and decorated in Hyatt’s signature, upscale décor. The project, designed by PFVS Architects, will be located at 301 3rd Avenue South, a block from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. It is scheduled for completion in late 2013.
