Construction work has begun of an upscale hotel and a parking garage directly next to the terminal at Nashville International Airport (BNA) in the US.

The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) has broken the ground on the Hilton-branded upscale hotel and parking garage.

The $95m hotel is slated to open in late 2023.

The hotel and parking garage are considered to be important elements of BNA Vision, a multibillion-dollar expansion project of the airport.

MNAA president and CEO Doug Kreulen said: “This dynamic hotel is a jewel in BNA’s expansion and will change the landscape and broaden what the airport offers to travelers, the business community and locals alike.”

The hotel will be developed by Chartwell Hospitality, which will also act as the hotel operator for the property.
