The Kimpton Aertson Hotel will open this month in Nashville on the corner of 21st Avenue and Broadway in the new mixed-use complex Aertson Midtown. The opening will mark the brand"s arrival in Music City as it expands its presence in the Southeast.

Across 17 floors, the hotel"s design from Gensler will pay homage to the nearby university"s namesake Cornelius Vanderbilt and his Dutch ancestor Jan Aertson from the 1600s. The hotel will host 180 guestrooms, including 12 spacious suites. Contemporary art will anchor the property in authenticity, including handknotted painted ropes from artist Orly Genger at the front desk. The open-concept living room will evoke industrial and organic qualities with herringbone tiled floors, reclaimed wood ceilings, and a cascading curtain of river stones installed before a double-sided fireplace. Modern American brasserie Henley will open adjacent to the living room as well.

More than 6,500 square feet of flexible meeting and event space will be located on the eighth floor across four different spaces. The 3,630-square-foot Patterson Ballroom will be equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large wraparound private outdoor terrace. A 24-hour fitness center, eighth-floor outdoor swimming pool, and Woodhouse Day Spa will arrive as well.
