Second consecutive year a Margaritaville property wins

Margaritaville Hotel Nashville landed top honors this week as “Best New Hotel” on USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. After opening to rave reviews in October 2019, the property was nominated by a panel of industry experts and voted winner by USA Today readers. The designation is the second in two consecutive years for the Margaritaville brand; Margaritaville Resort Gatlinburg won Best New Hotel in 2018. This is the first time in the contest’s history that one brand has claimed the Best New Hotel accolade two years running.

“This esteemed award is a testament to our commitment to providing guests with a high quality of service, as well as exciting amenities and experiences,” said Jeff Webb, general manager of Margaritaville Hotel Nashville. “Offering a laid-back casual luxe environment and overall guest satisfaction is the cornerstone of everything we do at the hotel, and we’re energized to elevate our services and programming for years to come following such a successful opening.”

“We’re really proud of our Nashville team for achieving this recognition just a few months after their opening,” said Tamara Baldanza-Dekker, CMO for Margaritaville. “To have USA Today’s readers choose a Margaritaville property as their favorite new hotel for the second year in a row is an incredible honor.  We’re grateful for everyone who took the time to vote for us.”

The 12-story hotel features 166 guestrooms, as well as 52 Margaritaville Vacation Club® by Wyndham suites offering owners plenty of space to kick back and relax, with mini kitchens and separate living and dining areas in the apartment-style suites.
