The 130-key, six-story hotel is located at 710 East Jefferson Street and is co-owned by First Hospitality and Weyland Ventures. This inaugural Tempo by Hilton property is slated to open in time for the 2021 Kentucky Derby.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking ground less than eight weeks from the Tempo by Hilton brand launch, this milestone marks one of the shortest time periods from brand announcement to groundbreaking in Hilton history. Additionally, the brand continues to exhibit robust deal momentum, with more than 30 confirmed deals in cities including New York, Maui, Boston and Washington D.C., as well as an additional 40 deals in various stages of development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen an incredible response from owners who are excited about Tempo by Hilton, and we are working together with them to bring this new offering to market in record time,\u201d said Phil Cordell, SVP and global head of new brand development, Hilton. \u201cThe brand delivers a unique blend of elevated yet within reach offerings that have been specifically developed to appeal to the burgeoning class of modern achievers, and we believe that the NuLu neighborhood is exactly the kind of place where Tempo by Hilton will not only fit in but thrive.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In line with the brand\u2019s commitment to localized touches in each property, this first Tempo by Hilton groundbreaking saw brand representatives and local dignitaries gather for an exciting event that included nods to the historic Kentucky Derby with details such as a burst of rose petals that evoked the famous race also known as the \u201cRun for the Roses\u201d. The ceremonial groundbreaking was symbolized by the staking of a Tempo by Hilton flag into the property site ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to be the first city in the world to welcome the Tempo by Hilton brand,\u201d said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. \u201cOur city\u2019s economy is booming, with more than $15 billion in investment since 2014, more than 1,200 hotel rooms added in the past 18 months, and an additional 1,100 hotel rooms under construction. The Tempo by Hilton will add to that great economic vitality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once open, the new Tempo by Hilton Louisville NuLu will offer a rooftop bar, allowing patrons to sip in style as they take in the surrounding skyline. The property will provide guestrooms that have been designed as welcoming treats with the brand\u2019s signature Power Up and Power Down collections to assist guests with getting energized for the day or winding down for the night, as well as inviting public spaces, including flexible meeting space, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and surprising, uplifting artistic touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs part of the next generation leading First Hospitality, a long-time Hilton partner, I\u2019m beyond proud that we are breaking ground on the very first hotel of this next-generation brand,\u201d said Sam Schwartz, VP of Asset Management for First Hospitality. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited for this property to be going up in NuLu, a neighborhood known for its rich arts and culinary scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thoughtfully designed with the modern achiever in mind, the new Tempo by Hilton Louisville NuLu will also provide complimentary coffee and tea via the in-lobby Fuel Bar, as well as a range of additional food and beverage options including an innovative caf\u00e9-style offering serving a variety of smoothies, lattes, breakfast sandwiches, bowls and more, limited market, and in-lobby bar specializing in both spirited and non-spirited craft cocktails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tempo by Hilton Louisville NuLu will participate in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hiltonhonors3.hilton.com\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hilton Honors<\/a>, the award-winning guest loyalty program for Hilton\u2019s 18 world-class brands.
