Boutique hotel sues landlord over bomb damage

The owner of a downtown boutique hotel business has sued the owner of its Second Avenue North building, alleging that the landlord has failed to make repairs to the property, rendering it unusable since the Christmas 2020 suicide bombing.

The hotel — Studio 154, a 16-room property developed by Vastland — has been closed since the bombing, which according to a lawsuit filed in Davidson County Chancery Court last week, resulted in severe damage to the building’s rooftop, elevator and entrance.
