About Ryman Hospitality Properties, I
About Ryman Hospitality Properties, I
Ryman Hospitality Properties owns seven upscale convention hotels totaling 11,869 rooms — including five Gaylord Hotels properties and two JW Marriott properties across Nashville, Orlando, Dallas, San Antonio, Washington D.C., Denver, and Phoenix — plus two overflow hotels. The Hospitality segment generated approximately 83% of 2025 revenues; Entertainment (Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, Ole Red, and related assets through an approximately 70% stake in Opry Entertainment Group) contributed the remaining 17%. JW Marriott Desert Ridge (950 rooms, Phoenix) was added in June 2025.
Ryman earns Hospitality revenue through TRS lessees that lease hotel properties from the Operating Partnership and engage Marriott under long-term hotel management agreements as the eligible independent contractor for day-to-day management. Group meeting and convention demand, contracted years in advance, forms the core revenue base, exposing the company to margin pressure when fixed group rates are locked before operating cost increases — including labor, supplies, and insurance — take effect. The company identified over $1 billion in capital investment opportunities across its portfolio in 2024, with phases planned through 2027, including a nearly $225 million expansion at Gaylord Opryland adding approximately 108,000 square feet of premium meeting space. The Entertainment segment includes the Grand Ole Opry, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2025, the Ryman Auditorium, six Ole Red venues, and Category 10 Nashville, opened in November 2024.
Show full overview
Ryman's financial results depend on Marriott's management execution across all hotel properties generating substantially all Hospitality segment revenue. Marriott controls room rates, group bookings, cost management, and staffing while also owning the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brand trademarks. The 10-K notes that Marriott operates the Gaylord Pacific Resort & Convention Center — a competing 1,600-room venue that opened in May 2025 but is not owned by Ryman — and manages the competing Marriott Orlando World Center and Washington D.C. Marriott Marquis. Hotel management agreement covenants prevent Ryman from selling properties to Marriott competitors without Marriott's approval, constraining exit options.
