Ryman Hospitality Properties is a self-administered real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns and operates a portfolio of upscale, convention-focused resort hotels managed by Marriott under the Gaylord Hotels and JW Marriott brands, generating roughly 83% of revenues from room rates, meeting space rentals, food and beverage services, and ancillary offerings across approximately 12,000 rooms in major U.S. markets. The company also owns approximately 70% of Opry Entertainment Group, an entertainment business centered on the iconic Grand Ole Opry brand and complementary music venues and properties, which generates the remaining revenues through ticket sales, performances, radio broadcasting, merchandise, and brand licensing. As a REIT, Ryman distributes substantially all taxable income to shareholders, avoiding federal double taxation, and pursues growth through selective acquisitions of large-group-oriented hotel properties and entertainment asset expansion.
