NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 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.

"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."
