When it comes to the city’s hotel stock, Nashville shows no signs of slowing.
The Nashville metro area offers 525 hotels, with as many as 82 additional properties (14,147 rooms) in the works, the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp tells the Post. While not all the projects will likely come to fruition, 42 hotel buildings — accounting for 7,778 rooms — are already under construction or in the final planning phase.
