HRI Hospitality and Hilton have opened the 306-room Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown, the second property nationally to open from Hilton’s new contemporary lifestyle brand.
Developed and owned by HRI Hospitality and operated by HRI’s operating company, HRI Lodging, the property is half a block from Broadway.
The hotel features more than 9,500 sq. ft. of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting spaces, a 1,000-sq.-ft. fitness center, a rooftop outdoor bar and pool area, an outdoor event terrace and a fifth-floor sky lobby with views of downtown Nashville and Nashville Yards. The hotel also offers the unique amenity of the city’s first Topgolf Swing Suites.
It is also home to a variety of food and beverage concepts, including Nashville’s first Bluestone Lane Café with indoor and outdoor patio seating; Lovelorn Lounge and Pool Bar with shareable New American dishes; and the outdoor pool bar offering a Mediterranean-inspired menu with spirited and free-spirited cocktails.
“With our target customer in mind, the modern achiever, it was a no-brainer when choosing Nashville as a location for our newest Tempo by Hilton property, adding to the Music City footprint of outstanding accommodations by Hilton and growing the new lifestyle brand,” said Kevin Morgan, global brand head, Tempo by Hilton. “We’re thrilled to watch this wellness-focused brand grow with the success of Tempo by Hilton Nashville, Times Square and the over 30 others in the pipeline including Raleigh and Louisville.”
Michael Coolidge, chief investment and development officer, HRI Hospitality, said, “HRI is ecstatic to bring this game-changing brand, offering a new lifestyle-focused accommodation to the heart of Nashville. The property offers a unique stay catered to guests’ well-being from special wellness rooms, an expansive fitness center to health-conscious culinary offerings including the exciting partnership with Bluestone Lane Café, Topgolf Swing Suites and more, in the premium location in the Nashville market.”
Designed by ESa, with interior design by Wimberly Interiors, and constructed by BELL Construction, the 16-story hotel showcases design elements that were inspired by some of the grand buildings of Nashville’s past with hints of an Art Deco influence. By honoring the multitude of factors that make Nashville so unique—art, history, architecture and music—the design combines tradition with glamourous design elements, creating a strong connection to the spirit of Nashville, according to the developers.
