USA: The Eighteen by Locale will be a boutique apartment hotel that is set to open in the Five Points neighbourhood, located at 18 McFerrin Ave in East Nashville this April.
Locale will handle property management, marketing, and guest services. An affiliate of the group said that the company has said that the company has “selected Locale to manage the property given their unique residential hospitality expertise and owner-centric approach to management”. Powell, a design-build firm, worked on the architecture, construction, and the interior design of the property.
The Eighteen by Locale will feature 11 short-term rental units, with two bespoke penthouses, a ground-floor commercial space, and a rooftop deck with views of downtown Nashville. The aparthotel also features fully equipped kitchens, in-unit washers and dryers, a 24-hour virtual concierge service and keyless self-check-in technology. The property will have veined quartz, hand-hewn tile, warm walnut and oak wood tones, porcelain tile with accents of indigo blues, and black plumbing and hardware in its design.
Nitesh Gandhi, founder and CEO of Locale said: “The Eighteen by Locale is a perfect example of home meets hotel. With our tech-forward operating platform and strong brand and revenue management capabilities, we’re looking forward to delivering a fantastic guest experience and superior returns to ownership.”
The brand now manages five properties across Nashville and operates in Dallas, Austin, Menlo Park, and Houston, with upcoming projects in Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Madison later this year.
