Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc., a lodging real estate investment trust, has announced plans to expand Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center.
The planned expansion, expected to be complete by Spring 2027, includes a new 31,000-square-foot ballroom, 38,000-square-feet of breakout space, and 39,000-square-feet of pre-function space. Once complete, this project will bring Gaylord Opryland’s total exhibit and meeting space to approximately 756,000-square-feet.
“In recent years, Nashville's popularity as a top meetings destination has skyrocketed, and we anticipate annual visitors and spending to continue this upward trajectory,” says Mark Fioravanti, president and chief executive officer of Ryman Hospitality Properties. “Our premium group customers are seeking modern, flexible carpeted meeting space, and this expansion will deliver the high-quality experience our guests have come to expect from us. In addition, we believe this expansion will attract new corporate groups to Music City.”
Here’s 3 improvements we are excited about:
- A $40 million new 550-seat sports bar
- A 6,200-square-foot event lawn
- A new beer garden
We will share more details of the expansion as they are completed.
