Virgin Hotels Nashville, located in the vibrant Midtown neighborhood, is thrilled to announce Richard Poskanzer as the hotel’s new General Manager. In this role, Poskanzer will oversee the operations of the 262-room luxury lifestyle hotel as well as popular dining outlets including Commons Club, The Pool Club, Funny Library Coffee Shop, and The Late Great.
A native of Albany, NY, Poskanzer graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Hotel Administration.

As he steps into his new position, Poskanzer looks forward to leading a team focused on the guest experience in a city where music and hospitality go hand in hand.
