“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.”

The 16-story hotel has design elements inspired by the buildings of Nashville’s past with hints of an Art Deco influence. By honoring the factors that make up Nashville—art, history, architecture, and music—the design combines tradition with design elements, creating a connection to the city.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a communal lobby with a hydration bar offering alkaline filtered water. In partnership with Planet Water Foundation and Klean Kanteen guests may purchase reusable water bottles, with $2 from each bottle helping to support water-insecure communities. In addition, Hilton Global Foundation, Tempo by Hilton, and Tempo by Hilton Nashville will fund an AquaTower water filtration system to bring clean, safe water to a community in Jalisco, Mexico.
The rooms at Tempo by Hilton Nashville are designed with Power Up and Power Down experiences for morning and nighttime rituals. Each room has a space called the Get Ready Zone, an area for preparing for the day or a night out; a bathroom with a Bluetooth speaker mirror and APOTHEKE bath amenities; and a sleep environment with Sealy Accelerate mattresses dressed in cooling linens. The property is pet-friendly. Two-bedroom Encore Suites have a wraparound patio with a retractable door, a kitchen with a communal table, a large entertainment space, and a game room.
