Hutton Hotel Named Nashville's First Four-star Property By Forbes Travel Guide

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hutton Hotel proudly announces its receipt of a prestigious Forbes Four-Star Award and inclusion in the 2013 Forbes Travel Guide, the gold standard in hospitality excellence.

"Hutton Hotel's goal reflects Nashville's unique blend of sophistication and Southern hospitality. Our staff delights in demonstrating this mix in every guest interaction. We are honored that Forbes Travel Guide selected us for inclusion as it celebrates its 55^th year," Hutton General Manager Steven Andre says.

Forbes highlights Hutton Hotel's exemplary service levels and modern luxury amenities—from chic interior design to thoughtful touches, such as rain showerheads and complimentary Nespresso machines. This stellar service extends to pets, as well; Forbes notes the Hutton is "more than pet friendly… your furry friend is treated like royalty."

One of the Guide's "Top Green Hotels," the Hutton features eco-friendly practices throughout, including LED lighting, innovative recycling programs and sustainable bamboo flooring and furniture. Yet comfort and quality are never sacrificed: Kone EcoDisc elevators are nearly silent, while also reducing energy consumption by 70 percent, and the hotel's SUV courtesy vehicle is a Lexus hybrid.
