Ryman Hospitality Properties (NYSE:RHP) is a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership and operation of group‐oriented, large convention center hotel resorts. The company’s portfolio is anchored by its Gaylord Hotels brand, offering integrated resort, convention, entertainment and dining experiences under long‐term management agreements with Marriott International.
Ryman’s flagship properties include Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center near Dallas/Fort Worth and Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. These resorts feature extensive meeting and exhibition facilities, multiple restaurants, retail venues and year‐round entertainment programming designed to attract domestic and international convention and leisure travelers. The company also owns or manages additional hospitality assets in key U.S. markets, maintaining a focus on destination resorts and group business.
Originally founded as Gaylord Entertainment Company, the firm rebranded to Ryman Hospitality Properties in 2012 following a strategic separation of its media and entertainment operations. The new name pays homage to the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, a venerable live music venue acquired by the company in 2000. Since then, Ryman Hospitality has pursued disciplined growth through property investments, renovations and strategic brand partnerships.
Ryman Hospitality is guided by an experienced leadership team with deep expertise in hospitality, real estate investment and asset management. The company’s strategic priorities include expanding its portfolio of group‐oriented resort properties and enhancing existing assets to drive sustainable, long‐term value for its stakeholders.
