About Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc.

Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (NYSE: RHP) is a U.S.-based, publicly listed company traded on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States. It is structured as a lodging and entertainment REIT with an unusual hybrid profile that combines destination hospitality with iconic live-entertainment and music brands. For French-, Belgian- and Swiss-based investors, RHP stands out because it is not a conventional hotel landlord: it owns and operates large-scale, group-oriented resort assets while also controlling a portfolio of culturally powerful entertainment properties headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. The company’s roots are tied to destination hospitality in Nashville and the development of the Gaylord Hotels platform. Over time, RHP broadened its footprint beyond pure hotel real estate and built Opry Entertainment Group, turning legacy assets such as the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium and WSM-AM into a broader entertainment platform. That strategic evolution gives RHP a differentiated investment case: the business is exposed not only to room revenue, but also to meetings, conventions, food and beverage, banquets, ticketing, venue operations and branded entertainment experiences. RHP’s core Hospitality segment is centered on large upscale properties that are primarily designed for meetings, conventions and destination leisure travel. Its portfolio includes the Gaylord Hotels properties, selected JW Marriott hotels, the Inn at Opryland and the AC Hotel. These assets are typically located in markets with strong event demand and favorable group-travel dynamics. This segment tends to benefit from high ancillary spend per guest because the properties are built to capture revenue from conferences, events, catering, retail and entertainment services. The Entertainment segment is equally important to the story. It includes the Grand Ole Opry, the Ryman Auditorium, Ole Red, Category 10, Block 21 in Austin, and Southern Entertainment. This portfolio supports a broader branded-platform strategy built around country music, live events and experiential leisure. In competitive terms, RHP occupies a niche position among U.S. lodging REITs: it is focused on hard-to-replicate destination assets rather than commoditized select-service or urban transient hotels. The moat comes from brand equity, scale, integrated event infrastructure and the ability to monetize multiple revenue streams from one destination asset. Recent developments have been constructive. In its 2025 and early 2026 disclosures, RHP reported strong overall performance, including record revenue in parts of the business and continued momentum in Entertainment, while also highlighting temporary disruption from renovation activity in Hospitality. Management has also pointed to ongoing investment in Nashville assets, the continued rollout of Category 10, and broader brand-expansion initiatives. Overall, RHP offers investors exposure to premium U.S. hospitality, live entertainment and destination real estate, with the added benefit of being listed on the NYSE in the United States.
