Located close to Vanderbilt University and to many attractions that distinguish Music City, it recently undertook a $17 million renovation, including its stunning lobby. One of the most impressive results is the columns finished with semigloss Venetian plaster, an architectural finish that gives them a rich marble look.

Venetian plaster is a mixture of traditional plaster with marble dust, applied in thin, multiple layers, which are burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture.
