Hotel Fraye has opened in the buzzy Midtown section of Nashville. The 200-room urban retreat, the latest entry into Hilton’s Curio Collection, sets the stage for travelers to discover their own Music City story.
Envisioned by Florida-based studio EoA Group, the hotel’s interior design draws upon colorful local history and subtle feminine touches that capture an infectious, courageous spirit. Bold patterns, ornate marble accents, and glamorous light fixtures span the property along with graffiti murals, editorial-style fashion photography, and abstract artwork that instill a vibrant sense of place.
The lobby arrival experience is punctuated by an oversized bronze sculpture depicting stag antlers that towers over a bar, which serves as a bridge to modern American restaurant Gathre. Nashville’s equestrian legacy is also referenced in rope-light chandeliers that recall a bridle and reins, while horse-shape iron door knockers make a funky artistic statement throughout dining spaces.
Also included among Hotel Fraye’s F&B lineup is indoor-outdoor bar and lounge Eddie Ate Dynamite. Located on the rooftop, the sophisticated concept is characterized by a modern design and serves as a venue for live music, embracing the Nashville skyline as its backdrop.
Event and meeting spaces are housed across four rooms on the hotel’s seventh floor, including a 3,000-square-foot ballroom equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows and playful décor.
“Hotel Fraye not only marks the brand’s debut in Nashville, but also Hilton’s first lifestyle hotel in the city, and we are excited to see the continued growth of this one-of-a-kind collection,” says Jenna Hackett, global brand head of Canopy by Hilton and the Curio and Tapestry Collections by Hilton.
