Business travellers passing through Nashville will now find a suitable roof over their heads for business trips thanks to the recent opening of the Hilton BNA Nashville Airport Terminal. The first hotel directly linked to the Tennessee capital hub by a covered pedestrian footbridge. This development is part of a wider project to expand the airport, of which the facility is a key component. " The Hilton BNA Nashville airport terminal is the cornerstone of our BNA Vision plan" confirmed Doug Kreulen, CEO of the Nashville Metropolitan Airport Authority, which owns the hotel.
Launched in 2017, this three-billion-dollar programme is designed to strengthen the position of this international airport, the world's most important airport hub. one of the fastest-growing airports of the country. In addition to the inauguration of this hotel, which completes this development, the airport has seen the renovation of concourses B and C and the inauguration of the new D concourse, as well as the reinforcement of its facilities, particularly for international flights.
The Hilton BNA Nashville Airport Terminal stands in the middle of it all, offering travellers 298 rooms enhanced by a spacious office and numerous wireless recharging stations. Quite logically, the hotel plays on a theme that, while not revolutionary, is entirely appropriate to the location: the world of aviation. With aviation-inspired works of art in the corridors, a restaurant called Aviators, and even a ballroom with lighting that evokes the luminous trails of aircraft in the night sky.
The establishment intends to establish itself as a place for corporate meetings with almost 2,200 m² of meeting and event spaceIts many rooms pay tribute to aviation pioneers such as the Wright brothers, George Cayley and Lindbergh. As for the Gateway ballroom, it can accommodate banquets for 650 people and up to 900 people in theatre format.
To complement these flexible event spaces equipped with the latest technology, the hotel is adding a rooftop with views of the slopes which can accommodate groups of up to 400 people. The BNA Sky Pavilion, one of the city's largest rooftop terraces, is one of the hotel's highlights, where guests can enjoy a cocktail in the Sky Bar, relax by the pool in fine weather or by the fireplace in winter. "Music City" obligesThe hotel also has a bar dedicated to live music in its lobby.
This opening continues the long love affair between the Hilton brand and airports, which began in 1959 with the opening of a hotel at San Francisco airport, one of the first of its kind. But it also marks the group's focus on the capital of Tennessee, with several new hotels expected this year, including a Tempo by Hilton in Nashville Downtown and, in the autumn, Canopy by Hilton and Homewood Suites in the lively Gulch district.
