José Andrés Group to Debut in Nashville Exclusively at W Nashville in 2026

José Andrés Group (JAG) is thrilled to announce that it is bringing its award-winning culinary creativity to Nashville with multiple new restaurant and bar experiences opening at W Nashville in early 2026.

“Nashville has this incredible spirit...the music, the people, the energy. Of course people know it as a music city, but more and more I think we can call it an amazing food city, too! There’s a real culinary movement happening here, and we’re so proud to become a part of it.” - José Andrés

For their debut in the Nashville market, José Andrés Group is happy to share the arrival of several beloved concepts - Zaytinya, Bar Mar and Butterfly - to W Nashville. Beyond these restaurants, guests can look forward to a reimagined food + beverage concept at WET Deck, relaunching with an expanded bar and refreshed outdoor space designed for a day-to-night experience. Additionally, a new premium José Andrés Group banquet + catering menu will be introduced, bringing the group’s signature culinary excellence to elevate events and celebrations at the hotel. 

Sam Bakhshandehpour, Global CEO of José Andrés Group, shared “Few cities blend booming growth with soul like Nashville – and partnering with W Nashville offered the ultimate stage to share our creations with a city where music, food and creativity come together in perfect harmony. The hotel’s design and spaces offered the perfect canvas for our creations. Choosing to start our next chapter in Nashville felt natural - it's a place that celebrates authenticity, and that’s exactly what we plan to bring to the table.”
