Sheraton Grand Nashville Expands Group Options with Music City Flair

Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown is enhancing its appeal to meeting planners with a slate of immersive group experiences and updated event amenities that capture the spirit of Music City. From bourbon tastings to cowboy-boot fittings, the property blends business with authentic Nashville culture in a dynamic, planner-friendly setting.

Beyond the meeting rooms, the hotel has introduced a curated lineup of team-building and wellness-focused experiences designed to foster creativity, camaraderie and a connection to local culture. Each of these experiences can be coordinated with the hotel’s Sales & Events team.

Only-in-Nashville Moments

Planners can choose from experiential add-ons such as Ariat Custom Boot Fitting, where attendees design their own western footwear, or hat-shaping sessions with Rustler Hat Co., Nashville’s original hat bar, which can accommodate up to 100 participants. The Strings for Hope workshop invites guests to create jewelry from repurposed guitar strings, supporting a local nonprofit that helps women in recovery.

Sip and Savor

Team-building takes a flavorful turn with bourbon-forward experiences like the Buffalo Trace tasting, paired with chef-crafted small bites, or a custom blending session at Nashville Barrel Co. For groups seeking a hands-on component, the Classic Cocktails 101 class guides participants through martini-making and food pairings with a culinary twist.

Mindful Breaks and Wellness-Inspired Additions

To balance the pace of multi-day programs, Sheraton Grand Nashville offers “Mahjong & Mindfulness,” introducing guests to the strategy game in a relaxed, instructor-led format. Wellness offerings are also expanding through new collaborations with local fitness studios, integrating movement and meditation into group itineraries.

Heart of Nashville

Located in downtown Nashville, the Sheraton offers nearly 29,000 sf of recently refreshed event space across 18 venues. Standout options include the Platinum Ballroom with 22-foot ceilings, the Terrace Ballroom overlooking the Tennessee State Capitol and two Executive Boardrooms equipped with smart hubs and 70-inch monitors. 

The Studios serve as flexible, on-demand spaces for breakout sessions or private dining, while soundproof booths in the lobby cater to one-on-one virtual meetings. Updated guestrooms and suites, combined with views from the 28th-floor Skye Lounge, round out the property’s elevated group offering.
