British entrepreneur, billionaire and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson has announced plans to operate a Virgin Hotels outpost in Nashville. According to The Nashville Business Journal, the 240-room hotel will be located at 1 Music Square West, which was home to a large 19th-century Victorian brick building until it was demolished earlier this week. The hotel is scheduled to open in 2016, and no details are currently known regarding what restaurants might be included, but this graphic for their planned Chicago hotel may provide a hint.
