A new Hilton Hotels property aimed at both business and leisure travelers, the Hilton Garden Inn, will open in mid-2000 on Royal Parkway, near Nashville International Airport. N.Y. The Hilton Garden Inn is a smaller, more moderately priced facility than the hotels in the Hilton chain. It is planned to appeal primarily to business travelers, but has features to accommodate leisure travelers, such as a pool and a whirlpool spa. The hotel, north of Interstate 40 on Briley Parkway, will have a 24-hour business center, and each room will have a large work desk, two phones with two lines, dataports and voice mail.
Rooms also have microwaves, refrigerators, coffee makers, irons and ironing boards and hair dryers.
The Royal Parkway facility will have underground parking and meeting and conference rooms. The Garden Inns also have an exercise room and self-service laundry. Candy McCampbell covers real estate for The Tennessean . Associated Press content is Copyrighted by The Associated Press.
