The sustainable luxury lifestyle hotel brand 1 Hotels, founded by hospitality visionary Barry Sternlicht, recently announced the opening of its Nashville property. The new hotel features stunning architecture with tangible textures and touches of reclaimed wood-paneled walls.
Among the sustainability-themed touches are wooden room keys, in-room chalkboards to reduce paper use, closet hangers made of 100% recycled paper, and in-room carafes made from recycled wine bottles. In addition, guests can leave beyond gently used clothing items that the hotel will donate to local organizations. Moreover, the 1 Kitchen Nashville kitchen features innovative farm-to-table dining from Culinary Director and Top Chef alum Chris Crary.
"With the opening of 1 Hotel Nashville, we celebrate our brand's entry into this dynamic and culturally rich region," said Barry Sternlicht, 1 Hotels Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Starwood Capital Group. "We're excited to bring a tangible demonstration of our overarching mission, vision and purpose -- including a commitment to luxury sustainability, communities, holistic health and wellness, and natural design -- to an iconic city, admired for its positive energy, devotion to live music, down-home hospitality, festive food and family fun."
