PB hotel design editorial

Franklin, Tennessee carries its Civil War history close to the surface — the town's Main Street grid was laid out when the battle of Franklin was still living memory, and any new construction here negotiates with that weight. The Harpeth Franklin Downtown, which opened in 2017 as part of Hilton's Curio Collection, meets that negotiation through a four-story brick and limestone facade that draws freely from the Federal and neoclassical vernacular of Middle Tennessee without tipping into theme-park pastiche. The street elevation presents tiered balconies fronted by painted colonnades and wrought-iron railings, the massing broken across two connected volumes to read at a civic rather than monolithic scale. A restaurant marked 1799 at street level — referencing the county's founding year — signals from the pavement that the property intends to root itself in local chronology. Inside, that historicist frame gives way to something considerably warmer. Guestrooms are fitted with chevron-pattern walnut headboard panels, leather bench ends, and blown-glass pendant fixtures that lean toward contemporary craft without abandoning the earthy palette the exterior implies. The dining room is the most resolved interior space: curved banquette seating in bent plywood wraps around a gilded column beneath a warm timber-slatted ceiling that filters amber uplighting, the geometric patterned carpet anchoring the whole composition. The cobblestone courtyard, framed by a symmetrical double staircase and fire-pit seating in natural teak, extends the hotel's civic ambition into a gathering space that Franklin itself seems to have needed.

"Just 2 weeks ago my family and I spent a long weekend at the Harpeth Hotel in Franklin, TN celebrating the wedding of our daughter. The rehearsal dinner was at the Harpeth in the courtyard. I felt like I was in an Italian villa. So pretty!! Kimberly and Molly were so helpful with the accommodations for our out of town guests and the planning of the event. They were both on hand that night overseeing the event. We had a wonderful wedding and a wonderful weekend!! Everyone was so nice and so accommodating from the moment we got there starting with James and Bryson who valet parked our car all weekend. Then Dan the doorman welcomed us in with professionalism and humor. A great combination. Inside we met Autumn, Anna and Lauren working at the reception desk. They were all so friendly and polite and knew us by name by the time we left. Throughout the weekend I would meet Terry in the lobby where we chatted about how great the food was at the cafe, or what a great town Franklin is. Great shopping and eating within walking distance from the Harpeth. I will definitely stay here again. The beds were so comfortable, and the maid service was excellent, very clean. Thank you for a great experience. Lynne"

"The Harpeth was a very pleasant place to stay near the Franklin downtown activity. The food in the 1799 Bar and restaurant was really nice along with being able to dine in the courtyard. Rooms were well taken care of and quite. Even our favorite car valet person, Brett, was so kind and informative of some activities to partake in while visiting. All in all it was a good experience and we would recommend The Harpeth to friends and family when visiting! Kay C."

"We had a great stay at The Harpeth and would rate it five stars overall. The property itself is charming and well-located on a quieter stretch of 2nd Avenue, which made it feel a bit removed from the busier areas while still being very convenient. The lobby strikes a nice balance—warm, comfortable, and slightly elevated without trying too hard. The staff across the board were consistently excellent, which really stood out. Valet (James, Jackson, Brycen, Ben, and Brett) were efficient, friendly, and easy to work with throughout the stay. The doormen, Dan and Alan, set a great tone immediately—welcoming, helpful with bags, and genuinely pleasant every time we came and went. The front desk setup is a nice change from the typical large counter—it feels more personal. Emily, Susan, Autumn, and Ivory were all great during our stay. Emily in particular helped us resolve a booking issue ahead of arrival quickly and without any hassle, which we really appreciated. Natalie, who assisted us at checkout, was equally professional and easy to work with. Claudia and Rebecca from housekeeping were wonderful—very kind, and clearly great with guests (and dogs—our bulldog was a big fan). The bar and restaurant (1799) were a highlight. The space itself is well done—cozy, a little moody, but still modern. The bourbon display is impressive, and the cocktail list is solid. Judah, Corey, Billie, and Caleb behind the bar were personable and attentive, and kept things running smoothly. Ashley and Bell on the floor were equally strong—Ashley especially stood out as someone who is both attentive and naturally engaging without overdoing it. Food was genuinely excellent. The four cheese pizza and the gnocchi (with burrata and mushrooms) were standouts, and desserts—especially the apple pie and carrot cake—were clearly made in-house and worth ordering. The Caesar salad was also notable, with thoughtful details like fried capers and boquerones. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. We had a balcony with seating, which was a nice bonus. The bathroom was spotless and well stocked, and it was refreshing to have a proper number of hangers (rare, but appreciated). The TV setup was also well done—you can log into your own streaming services, and HBO plus standard channels are included, which makes it easy to unwind. We also had breakfast at McGavock’s—Shannon took great care of us and made the experience easy and enjoyable. A few other small things worth noting: fresh towels arrived in under five minutes when requested, there’s a well-stocked 24-hour shop (including wine available until midnight), and the staff were consistently helpful with local recommendations. The hotel is also genuinely dog-friendly. While dogs aren’t allowed inside the dining areas (understandably), the courtyard is a great option—nicely lit, comfortable, and you can have full dinner service there with your dog, which is a great touch. Overall, this is a place where the staff really elevate the experience. It’s a well-run property with a strong food and beverage program, and the service level makes it stand out."
