The brand’s largest hotel in the U.S. offers unparalleled views of the Music City skyline and the highest rooftop bar and restaurant in the city
MCLEAN, Va. and NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 25, 2022 – Hilton proudly announces the opening of the largest Embassy Suites by Hilton hotel in the U.S., Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown. In Nashville, it matters where you stay, and the spacious 506-key all-suites hotel situated adjacent to Music City Convention Center is a destination for both business and leisure guests to meet, gather and celebrate their next big event.
The new-build, 30-story hotel extends high into Nashville’s skyline, offering breathtaking views from all angles and is within steps of the city’s top attractions. The amenity-filled property boasts the city’s highest rooftop restaurant and bar, veranda and more than 32,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space outfitted with state-of-the-art technology.
“Nashville is one of the hottest leisure and convention destinations to visit right now, and we’re excited for Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown to be the newest place to stay and experience Music City,” said Bonnie Campagnuolo, brand leader, Embassy Suites by Hilton. “Beyond having an unparalleled location in the center of it all, the new hotel has been sustainably and thoughtfully created to provide a modern yet approachable space filled with sunlight and paying homage to the city with music-inspired touches.”
Sustainable and Musical Design
The purposeful architectural design of Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown features subtle cues to Nashville’s musical roots. Born from deeply traditional regional materials, combined with modern steel and glass, the hotel bridges the historic character of the city with the newer modern architecture of the Music City Center.
A nod to the life and spirit of the songwriting capital of the world, the exterior of the hotel includes design features such as the crown resembling the lid of a grand piano in a lifted position; the blade sign and steel structure supporting the roof feature takes the form of a large violin bow; and the front façade reflects a large sheet of music with each row of windows unique from the staff above and below.
When entering different public spaces throughout the hotel, guests will notice the porte cochere ceilings are curved, resembling musical instruments, sound waves and the Cumberland River, which bisects Nashville. At check-in, travelers will catch sight of the front desk pods shaped as musical notes and each suite of the hotel features beautiful artwork that pays homage to the city’s renowned musical history.
Also significant are the sustainable attributes at the core of the design and development process for Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown. The LEED-certified hotel infuses sustainable elements throughout the hotel, including its use of reclaimed wood, stone and iron. Daily operational practices continue the hotel’s commitment to sustainability and include a glass recycling program, low mercury lighting, and reduced water use programs.
Experience the Comforts
Operated by Davidson Hotels, Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown offers leisure and business travelers an upscale experience with best-in-class customer service. Awaiting guests are 506 spacious suites, many with floor-to-ceiling windows, and panoramic views of Nashville’s dynamic skyline from the 27 balcony suites overlooking downtown.
As a full-suite hotel, guests will enjoy separate living and sleeping areas with ample space to spread out, especially in the unique one-bedroom suites with two king beds. The hotel also provides free Wi-Fi for Hilton Honors members and a 24-hour fitness center with the latest cardio, balance and weight-training equipment to maintain exercise routines away from home.
Taking Food & Beverage to New Heights
Beyond the comforts of home away from home, Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown offers elevated dining options across four unique concepts:
Good Citizen Coffee Co.: This specialty coffee bar features Tennessee’s own roaster, Good Citizen Coffee Co., which is committed to biodiversity and supporting eco-friendly farmers.

The brand’s first outpost outside of Scottsdale, Arizona also includes a full mixology bar with signature cocktails, draft beer, as well as an award-winning wine menu.
- Harmony: This concept offers Embassy Suites’ acclaimed free made-to-order breakfast each morning, with the brand’s signature omelets – a favorite of travelers across the nation – as well as complimentary drinks and snacks every night during the evening reception. Following the reception, Harmony remains open for the evening to feature live music in a lively bar environment.
Space for Any Event
Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown boasts distinctive, indoor/outdoor, semi-private and private event spaces flooded with natural light that can accommodate 10 to 400 people. The hotel’s multi-purpose, state-of-the-art convention and conference area, Crossvine Event Space, features 32,000 square feet of meeting and event space with five ballrooms all on one level – the largest of which is 9,300 square feet.
