In 2024, Hilton announced its new extended-stay brand, aimed at travelers seeking apartment-style accommodations for 20 nights or more.

LivSmart Studios by Hilton aims to offer simple accommodations with the comforts of home to the underserved workforce traveler market.

Now, the first LivSmart Studios hotel is open in Tennessee. Here’s what you need to know.

LivSmart Studios, Hilton’s Newest Brand for Long-Term Travelers

LivSmart Studios by Hilton Tullahoma has opened in Middle Tennessee. The hotel features 89 guest rooms, all of which are pet-friendly and equipped with full kitchens. Other amenities include a fitness center, guest laundry facilities, an outdoor patio and a complimentary grab-and-go breakfast.

Cash rates start at around $108 per night, while award nights start at 35,000 points.

LivSmart Studios hotels participate in the Hilton Honors program. You’ll earn 3 points per $1 spent on your stay and 3,000 bonus points for every 10 consecutive nights. Notably, this is the lowest-earning Hilton brand. Most Hilton brands earn 10 base points per $1 spent for guest rooms, while the budget Home2 Suites by Hilton and Tru by Hilton earn 5x points.

Hilton’s new extended-stay brand, LivSmart Studios by Hilton, which was initially introduced under the working name Project H3, is geared toward travelers seeking longer-term stays. This hotel, in particular, is designed to cater to those working in the automotive manufacturing and energy industries.

LivSmart Studios joins the ever-growing Hilton portfolio, focusing on the underserved segment of consumers, including traveling nurses, military personnel, and those relocating temporarily for work, who seek a comfortable yet simple place to stay for potentially weeks or months at a time.

With more than 90 hotels slated to open in the coming years, and hundreds more in negotiation, there is a significant demand for the lower-midscale market segment.

The brand’s aesthetics exude a modern yet warm and inviting feel by meshing “contemporary farmhouse” with industrial design elements.

Each LivSmart Studios room will be an apartment-style suite with separate spaces for work and rest. Plenty of storage space and movable furniture will allow each guest to feel at home. A fully equipped kitchen will include a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and a 2-burner stove.

Hot Tip:

Hilton has been on a roll with the opening of another budget brand, “Spark,” which offers modern amenities and complimentary breakfast at an affordable price.

Hilton has opened its first LivSmart Studios hotel, a new, lower-midscale extended-stay brand designed for travelers seeking apartment-style accommodations for longer-term stays. This new brand will serve the often-overlooked market of the traveling workforce.
