Dannette 'Danni' Williams has been appointed as General Manager at Courtyard Nashville Downtown

Dannette "Danni" Williams answered the calling and now returns to the Music City as the new leader of the downtown Nashville hotel. She previously served as the general manager of the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport. "The big story for me is that I started my Marriott career here at the Nashville Airport Marriott as an hourly associate," she said. Williams' leadership career blossomed in May 2001 when she was named general manager of the MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, TN. Under her tutelage, the team at the 195-room hotel achieved the highest guest satisfaction score for Marriott Hotels and Resorts and improved the house profit margin by 3.65 percentage points in two years. She was honored in 2002 as a GM Rookie of the Year for her efforts. Her career moved her Charleston, SC, where she took on the role of general manager for the Renaissance Charleston Hotel Historical District from May 2004 to January 2009. Her accomplishments included improving revenue by 27.3 percent and achieving a four-diamond status for the boutique hotel. Atlanta, GA, would then become her home, where she served as general manager for the Renaissance Atlanta Downtown and Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport. While working full time, Williams earned her bachelor of science in business management from Southern Wesleyan University in 2008. Along the way, Williams has amassed a number of accolades for her dedication and service to Marriott. She won the Renaissance Leadership Excellence and Renaissance Spirit to Serve Our Guests awards in 2007. She was also recognized with a Marriott Leadership award in 2010. Williams' spirit to serve Marriott transcends into her community affiliations that include being president of the Rotary Club Atlanta Airport and a board member of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. She's also worked with the United Way, Children's Miracle Network, YMCA of Kingsport and multiple local tourism and hotel associations.
