Conrad Nashville Hotel Opens
Hilton (NYSE: HLT) announces the opening of the highly anticipated Conrad Nashville, marking the Conrad Hotels & Resorts' brand debut in Music City on June 29. Located in the heart of Midtown, just steps from Music Row, the 234-key hotel includes 24 suites, five wellness rooms, an expansive fitness center, three curated dining experiences conceptualized by Blau & Associates, a chic poolside retreat and 17,000 square feet of stylish meeting and event space.
"With an emphasis on bold design and intuitive service, Conrad Nashville gracefully blends urban sophistication with refined elegance to create a luxury retreat within the bustle of the city," says Martin Wormull, General Manager of Conrad Nashville. "We are thrilled for our guests to discover this unparalleled hospitality experience."
Capturing the spirit of Music City through design, culinary and artistic offerings, Conrad Nashville anchors the destination's newest mixed-use development, Broadwest.
Matthew Schuyler, Chief Brand Officer, shares, "The opening of Conrad Nashville marks the third Conrad property to open so far in 2022, and the second in North America, following the acclaimed Conrad Tulum. The premier location allows travelers access to all the city has to offer, while the design and amenities offer a chance to connect with the hotel. Nashville's hospitality market is growing exponentially, and Conrad Nashville jumpstarts Hilton's energized commitment to the destination, with multiple properties and brands in the portfolio opening through 2024."
Interior design by award-winning firm Champalimaud Design fuses Tennessee inspirations with modern touches to set the stage at Conrad Nashville. The bold and contemporary design references the scale and flow of classical architecture while exploring the theme of music made visible through rhythm, variation and materiality. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a double-height lobby anchored by a jaw-dropping spiral staircase complete with a satin-finished brass balustrade inspired by musical instruments, inviting the ultimate "see-and-be-seen" moment for those descending from Conrad Nashville's second floor meetings and celebration spaces.
Throughout the hotel, local artwork is prominent and harmonizes with a rich palette of dark woods, brass, bronze and neutral tones to capture the essence of Nashville's warm and contemporary spirit.
The spacious guestrooms and suites offer unrivaled square footage in Nashville, averaging 450 square feet up to the Grand Suite at 3,000 square feet, which includes three bedrooms, a generous lounge, a freestanding soaking tub, a dining table for 10, a movie room and butler's pantry. Each of Conrad Nashville's sophisticated accommodations feature sweeping headboards, bespoke wall sconces and expansive wardrobes. Guests can unwind in luxury with soft Italian linens by Frette, marble bathrooms with double vanities, private water closets, rain showers and incredible amenities by Swedish brand Byredo, and a minimum 55" HDTV with state-of-the-art in-room controls. All suites at Conrad Nashville offer balconies, full size dressing rooms and sumptuous soaking tubs, delivering the ultimate urban escape.
Cuisine at Conrad Nashville is helmed by Executive Chef Dwayne Edwards, with the hotel's main restaurant, Blue Aster, named for the Tennessee wildflower, offering an innovative twist on modern Southern cuisine. Seasonal menus at Blue Aster focus heavily on a farm-to-table approach, sourcing ingredients from local and regional purveyors and farms, along with a selection of fresh seafood and a variety of local ranch steaks.
