Drury Hotels recently debuted the Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Southeast Century Farms in the Antioch neighborhood of Nashville, the company's seventh hotel in Tennessee.

The hotel has king and queen rooms and suites, more than 1,500 square feet of meeting space, a 24-hour business center and fitness center, an outdoor pool and spa and on-site dining. The property—located at Century Farms Circle—is near I-24 and Nashville International Airport and is approximately 10 miles from downtown Nashville. The hotel employs 50 full- and part-time workers and is led by general manager Chad Utzman.

St Louis-based Drury Hotels has expanded its presence in the southern U.S. in recent years with openings in Mobile, Ala.; Tampa and Destin, Fla.; Pigeon Forge and Chattanooga, Tenn.; Charleston, N.C.; and College Station, Texas. The company also has announced plans to open the Drury Plaza Hotel Daytona Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla.

“We are thrilled to welcome guests to our newest hotel in Nashville, in the growing Century Farms development,” Chuck Drury, CEO of Drury Hotels, said in a statement. “The new Drury Plaza Hotel makes it easy for travelers to enjoy all that Nashville has to offer, from the thriving entertainment and business industries to world-class music, food and shopping.”

Dining options include The Kitchen + Bar, a late-night lobby restaurant serving casual dishes, quick bites, cocktails and other beverages. The lobby also has a guest market and 24-hour coffee service. The hotel provides complimentary hot breakfast, popcorn and soda, as well as evening snacks and beverages through Drury’s 5:30 Kickback program.

The property has two meeting rooms that can accommodate groups of up to 150 people. The meeting space is part of Drury’s Meetings with More program, which includes complimentary Wi-Fi, no food-and-beverage minimums and a flexible cancellation policy.
