Conrad Nashville opens its doors

Hilton has announced the opening of Conrad Nashville, marking the debut of Conrad brand in the city.

Conrad Nashville is located in the heart of Midtown, just steps from Music Row.

Interior

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.

Accommodations

The hotel features 234 guest rooms and suites including 5 wellness rooms, with average area of 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.

King Room

The Wellness Rooms, a standout feature of the property, are designed for the fitness-conscious traveler. Each room includes a Peloton bike, Echelon Reflect Fitness Mirror, a variety of free weights, yoga mat, and a minibar offering healthy alternatives. The rooms also provide an AtmosAir purification environment and an elevated aromatherapy bathroom experience by ZENTS.

Martin Wormull, General Manager of Conrad Nashville, said:

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. We are thrilled for our guests to discover this unparalleled hospitality experience.

Matthew Schuyler, Chief Brand Officer, Hilton, said:

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.

Lately, Nashville has been getting a lot of new luxury hotels. In 2021, Hyatt opened Hyatt Centric Downtown Nashville while Marriott opened W Nashville. This year, Four Seasons too will open its property in Nashville.

Meanwhile, Hilton recently announced the opening of Hilton Maldives Amingiri Resort and Spa.
