Posted on | by Joe Mo | 1 Comment on New South Roadshow Stop #3 – Conrad Nashville

Our third stop on our 2023 New South Roadshow brings us to the Conrad Nashville. Opened in June 2022, the hotel represents everything that Nashville does best — layering in luxury hospitality with its 234 guest rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Conrad Nashville is decorated with art works of local artists, another nod to a city that has long been recognized for being a home to those wishing to express themselves.

On lobby level Blue Aster — named after the Tennessee wildflower, known for its unique star shape symbolizing love, wisdom and charm — serves seafood-centric American cuisine with Southern flavors.

On the hotel’s third floor, Thistle & Rye is hip a whiskey bar featuring shareable, globally-inspired small plates while you sip cocktails on the patio overlooking downtown Nashville.

Come see for yourself and join us in Nashville on Wednesday, March 22nd from 10 am – 12 pm for our Luxury Destination Showcase in the ballroom followed by a Luncheon at Thistle and Rye at the Conrad. We look forward to welcoming you to Nashville and the third stop on the 2023 New South Roadshow!

Venue Spotlight: Stop #1 on the New South Roadshow – Virgin Hotels, Nashville

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Venue Spotlight: Stop #1 on the New South Roadshow – Virgin Hotels, Nashville

Retreats Resources brings the Roadshow to you, but did you know we select the host venues with an experience in mind for every Meeting Planner and Event Specialist who attends. Let’s start with a little background on our first stop on the New South Roadshow: Virgin Hotels, Nashville.

Did you say…Virgin Hotels? Yes, as in that same iconic red logo lifestyle brand you see in the air on Virgin Atlantic, the same brand you see out at sea on Virgin Voyages, with the same hip vibe we know and love about the Virgin brand. As part of the Curio by Hilton collection Virgin Hotels will appeal to many clients being able to offer guest membership rewards and service standard consistencies they count on in business travel…while also feeling like a rock star, or in the case of Nashville, a country star, staying just off of Music Row. Opening amid a Pandemic in 2020, with hotels currently located in Dallas, Chicago, Las Vegas, Nashville and New Orleans (and coming soon to New York, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Miami) they are now available in some of our favorite cities for business (and fun!).

And did you know…Virgin Hotels are pet friendly? Virgin is a big fan of the fuzz. Pets stay free, with no breed or size restrictions. (If you have ever traveled with your dog you know this is unheard of!)

The hotel of course has cool features like the Shag Room, a private space off the lobby, that features a (shag) fiber sculpture in the ceiling.

The Funny Library Coffee Shop is part coffee shop, part lounge, part remote work space, part favorite place to hang.

The well appointed rooms are referred to as “Chambers” at Virgin. The virtual assistant’s name is Lucy, and she can do anything from order you room service or lower the temperature in your room.

The space where we will meet you on our Roadshow? Well, that’s top secret. You will have to join us to find out and sip away the end of this 21st century Prohibition….as we see the events industry come ROARING back!

We look forward to welcoming you to the Virgin Hotels and Music City and the first stop on the New South Roadshow!
