HRI Lodging and Hyatt have added the Holston House in downtown Nashville to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand portfolio. The 1920s-era James Robertson Hotel was converted into the new Unbound Collection property.
The 191-room hotel originally designed by Nashville-based architects Marr & Holman in 1929, has been redesigned by New York-based design firm Stonehill Taylor. The property is near the Cumberland River and many of the city's attractions.
Hotel manager HRI Lodging now operates a portfolio of 25 hotels with the addition of the Holston House. Its parent company HRI Properties has completed more than 80 projects with more than $2.5 billion invested capital, including more than 5,000 apartment units, more than 5,000 hotel guestrooms and more than 1.4 million square-feet of office and retail space.
The next hotel to open under The Unbound Collection brand is the Hotel Martinez in Cannes, France. Hyatt will convert the 409-room Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez near the Bay of Cannes and Mediterranean Sea to operate under the brand ahead of its reopening in spring 2018. Parisian design firm Pierres-Yves Rochon has been leading the renovation of the Unbound. The property was previously a home to English aristocrats in 1929 before hotelier Emmanuel Martinez redeveloped it into the largest hotel in the French Riviera.
