Drift Hotel began with a vision to revitalize and breathe new life into an existing Nashville property - the historic Stadium Inn. Initially focused on interior design, the project expanded in 2022 to include full architectural involvement. Subtle refinements to the building’s existing structure modernized it while maintaining its historic charm. The hotel's penthouse was completely reimagined to include a high-end experience with exclusive views of downtown Nashville. Additionally, a new pool area was designed to establish a vibrant social hub, featuring private cabanas and an atmosphere of relaxation and connection. 

Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by a striking walnut wood ceiling, which sets the tone for the lobby’s transformative design. By day, the lobby serves as a café and coworking space; by night, it shifts into a lively lounge. The space seamlessly blends terrazzo flooring and polished concrete with warm wood accents, organic shapes, and subtle textures, creating an industrial yet inviting atmosphere. Rich, jewel-toned velvet couches line the lobby and common areas, adding a playful and opulent touch to this dynamic space. 

Drift Hotel represents more than just a renovation; it’s a commitment to restoring vibrancy and setting a new standard in a rapidly evolving neighborhood – infusing it with a renewed sense of character and energy.
