Design
Designed by ESa, with interior design by Wimberly Interiors, and constructed by Bell Construction, the 16-story hotel’s design elements were inspired by some of the historic buildings of Nashville’s past with hints of an Art Deco influence.
The lobby has a signature hydration bar serving alkaline filtered water. In partnership with Planet Water Foundation and Klean Kanteen guests can purchase reusable water bottles, with $2 from each bottle helping to support water-insecure communities all over the world. In addition, Hilton Global Foundation, Tempo by Hilton and Tempo by Hilton Nashville will fund an AquaTower water filtration system that will bring clean, safe water to a community in Jalisco, Mexico.
The rooms at Tempo by Hilton Nashville have a space called the Get Ready Zone as well as a bathroom with an oversized shower and Bluetooth speaker mirror. The two-bedroom Encore Suite has a wraparound exterior patio with retractable door, kitchen with a communal table, entertainment space and dedicated game room.
The six wellness rooms have a Peloton spin bike with dual sided pedals providing access to digital classes. The rooms also have strength and recovery items including resistance bands and a yoga mat. In addition to the Wellness rooms, Tempo by Hilton Nashville Downtown has a fitness center featuring Technogym equipment open to all guests.
The property has more than 9,500 square feet of meeting and event spaces, including a corner boardroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, and the Debut Room and Terrace—an indoor/outdoor space intentionally created for adaptability.
Tempo by Hilton Nashville is the first hotel in downtown Nashville to offer the immersive Topgolf Swing Suites, two golf simulators.
