“Nashville’s diverse economy, with
innumerable business, entertainment, healthcare and educational outlets, makes
it an ideal location for just this type of upper upscale hotel product.
"I
look forward to supporting the hospitality community and helping the hotel

Nashville.”
She has held multiple similar positions,
including director of sales and marketing at the 283-suite Embassy Suites by
Hilton SE Nashville Hotel and Convention Center and opening cluster director of
sales and marketing for the dual-branded, 361-room Hyatt Place/Hyatt House
Denver/Downtown.
“Between her familiarity with the Nashville market and her background opening

through ramp-up and beyond as the Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown
Convention Center takes its place as the segment leader,” Cole noted.
