Sheraton Nashville Downtown, Brutalist hotel in downtown Nashville, United States
The Sheraton Nashville Downtown is a Brutalist hotel with 27 floors in the city center, defined by bold concrete forms and geometric lines. The building rises approximately 300 feet (91 meters) and occupies a prominent location on Union Street with all standard hotel amenities.
The building was completed in 1975 as a design by John Mastin & Associates and represents the Brutalist architectural approach of that era. It underwent major renovations starting in 2012 when new ownership took over and invested in updating the interior and guest spaces.
The location near major music venues makes this a base for visitors exploring Nashville's famous live music scene and recording studios. People passing through often use it as a starting point for discovering the city's deep connections to country, soul, and Americana music.
The hotel is located on Union Street in downtown Nashville and provides conference facilities, dining options, fitness amenities, and rooms for both business and leisure guests. The central location makes it easy to walk to nearby shops, restaurants, and attractions throughout the area.
Designer Anna Busta oversaw a major redesign of the interior spaces, bringing contemporary style to the Brutalist structure without erasing its original character. The transformation demonstrates how concrete buildings from the 1970s can gain new life while keeping their distinctive architectural bones intact.
