Nashville Hotel Development Through New Construction and Renovation

A hotel investment starts with a property decision that shapes everything that follows.

Build from the ground up, renovate an operating hotel, or convert an existing property into something different?

Each approach creates opportunities. Each also brings different costs, constraints, and operating requirements.

For investors exploring Nashville hotel development, the key question involves fit. The development approach should fit the building, its location, and the guests it will serve.

At Imagine Hospitality, our projects bring those choices into focus.

Fairfield Inn & Suites Nashville MetroCenter and Hampton Inn Nashville Airport at Century Place have completed renovations. Residence Inn Nashville MetroCenter adds a completed new build, while our new Fairfield Inn on Dickerson Pike will open soon.

Hotel Preston’s conversion created Delta Hotels by Marriott Nashville Airport. Our planned Morris Memorial Building boutique hotel introduces another approach through adaptive reuse.

These projects show the breadth of our Nashville hospitality work. They also illustrate why hotel investment requires attention to both development and daily operations.

Guests judge a hotel by their stay. Owners have to judge it by much more.

A hotel can deliver a positive guest experience and still have opportunities to improve performance.

Strong hotel management requires more than clean rooms, friendly service, and positive reviews.

It requires disciplined operations, strong leadership, revenue strategy, property care, and a clear understanding of the local market.

When those elements work together, they can strengthen the guest experience and support the hotel as a long-term asset.

So, what should owners expect from a great hotel management company?

Imagine Hospitality team members posing together at one of the company's hotels, representing hospitality careers and hotel management in Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky.

Not every hotel is the same, and neither is every employer.

Two hotels may fly the same brand flag, offer similar guest rooms, and serve the same travelers. Behind the scenes, however, the employee experience can be completely different. One hotel may feel like a place to build a career. Another may feel like just another job.

If you’re considering a career in hospitality, don’t focus only on the position you’re applying for. Take a closer look at the company behind it. The right employer will help you develop professionally, challenge you to grow, and create opportunities you may never have expected.

Imagine Hospitality Tops Out Fairfield by Marriott on Dickerson Pike in Nashville

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Nashville Dickerson Pike construction progress February 2026

Imagine Hospitality has officially topped out its newest Nashville hotel development, marking a major milestone for the growing Dickerson Pike corridor. The new Fairfield by Marriott Nashville Dickerson Pike is a four-story, 103-room hotel located at Skyline Commons, directly across from Lowe’s and minutes from Downtown Nashville.

As first reported by City Now Next, the project represents the latest large-scale commercial investment in the Skyline Commons master-planned retail center. The development continues the steady expansion of hospitality and commercial construction along Dickerson Pike.

A Major Addition to Dickerson Pike Development

The upcoming Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott will be the only ground-up Marriott-branded hotel along the Dickerson Pike transit corridor to Downtown Nashville. The hotel joins Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton across the street, further strengthening the area’s growing hospitality presence.

Dickerson Pike has emerged as a key growth corridor in North Nashville. Investors and developers continue to expand retail, residential, and commercial projects throughout the area. This new hotel reinforces long-term confidence in Nashville commercial real estate development and corridor revitalization.

For business travelers, construction crews, and leisure visitors, the property offers convenient access to Downtown Nashville without downtown congestion. Its elevated location within Skyline Commons enhances visibility and accessibility.

Modern Amenities for Today’s Nashville Travelers

The new Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Nashville will feature 103 well-appointed guest rooms designed for comfort and functionality. Guests can expect:

  • Outdoor pool deck amenity
  • Fully equipped fitness center
  • Brand-standard corner market and lobby lounge
  • Dedicated meeting room
  • Spacious dining area

These features align with demand for modern Nashville business hotels and reliable Marriott-branded accommodations near downtown. The combination of amenities and location positions the property competitively within the expanding North Nashville lodging market.

Continued Growth for Imagine Hospitality in Middle Tennessee

This project builds on Imagine Hospitality’s expanding portfolio across Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. The company recently delivered the Delta by Marriott Nashville Airport and the Residence Inn MetroCenter Nashville, both strategically positioned in high-demand submarkets.

Imagine is also leading the adaptive reuse of the Historic Morris Building into a boutique hotel in Downtown Nashville. This redevelopment reflects continued investment in Downtown Nashville hospitality projects and urban revitalization.

By combining ground-up development with adaptive reuse, Imagine Hospitality demonstrates a diversified growth strategy across multiple hotel segments.

A Proven Hotel Owner and Developer in the Region

Imagine Hospitality owns and operates hotels throughout Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky, including Tru by Hilton, Hampton Inn, Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn, Baymont by Wyndham, Delta by Marriott, and Home2 Suites by Hilton.

The company partners with leading hospitality brands to deliver high-performing assets in growth markets. Its disciplined site selection and development approach support long-term operational success.

The topping out of the Fairfield by Marriott on Dickerson Pike signals continued confidence in Nashville’s economic expansion and travel demand. As development progresses into 2026, the property will further strengthen the Dickerson Pike corridor as a rising hospitality destination.
