NASHVILLE, Tenn.
Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants announced the opening of Kimpton Aertson Hotel, located at the corner of 21st Ave. and Broadway in Nashville’s Midtown neighborhood—Kimpton’s first venture in Music City.
From the living room to the 17th floor, Kimpton Aertson Hotel was designed to tell a story true to its name, one of grit and honesty with elevated style. Homage to its neighboring university’s namesake, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Aertson Hotel recalls the humble beginnings of the Vanderbilt family’s Dutch ancestor Jan Aertson (a humble farmer and immigrant to the U.S.), who established the family’s roots in America in the mid-17th century.
Many of Kimpton Aertson Hotel’s 180 guest rooms, including 12 suites, offer city and Vanderbilt campus views and all a welcome reprieve from the bustling streets of downtown. Aertson juxtaposes that authentic yet accommodating service against a compelling contemporary arts program throughout.
“We are ready to bring our innovative and authentic boutique hotel experience to one of America’s most exciting cities, Nashville,” said General Manager Mark Hayes. “Our guests will be treated like family from the moment they arrive, welcomed with a genuine smile and locally tailored amenities.”
Adjacent to the hotel, and also accessible through Aertson’s living room, is Henley, a modern American brasserie featuring James Beard Award-winning Chef RJ Cooper serving a culinary menu of shareable dishes and innovative communal courses highlighting regional flavors. Henley’s full bar, wine and cocktail program evolves seasonally with a strong emphasis on whiskey, bourbon and Southern spirits.
On its eighth floor, Aertson Hotel boasts more than 6,500 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. The star of the floor’s four spaces is its 3,630-square-foot Patterson Ballroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and a large wrap-around private outdoor terrace, providing unobstructed views of Music City.
For those looking to take their meetings and events to even greater heights, Aertson Hotel’s 17th floor indoor event space and private outdoor terrace treats up to 150 guests to 270-degree panoramic views of downtown Nashville. All of the events at Aertson Hotel enjoy chef-driven creative catering menus from Henley’s Executive Chef RJ Cooper, bringing award-winning dining experiences to attendees.
