Hilton Worldwide has opened in Tullahoma, Tenn., the first property of its new LivSmart Studios midscale extended-stay brand, the company announced Tuesday.
The new-build property, which opened a little more than two years after Hilton first announced the brand’s planned launch, has 89 rooms, each designed as a suite with a kitchen, stovetop, dishwasher and microwave.
Hilton said LivSmart is designed for stays of at least 10 nights, which it called “a vastly underserved segment,” and said it was designed to blend “the comfort and functionality of studio apartment-style accommodations with the consistency, value and hospitality travelers expect when they stay with Hilton.”
Hilton plans to open more than 90 LivSmart properties “in the coming years” and has “over 225 deals in various stages of negotiation,” the company said.
Hilton in prior discussions of LivSmart development indicated the first property would be in Kokomo, Ind.; that property remains under development and is expected to open its doors later this year, Hilton said.
LivSmart joins the Home2 Suites and Homewood Suites brands in Hilton’s extended-stay portfolio. It’s also the 24th brand in Hilton’s overall portfolio.
LivSmart is the third U.S. extended-stay brand opened by a large hotel company so far in 2025, joining Marriott International’s StudioRes and Hyatt Hotels Corp.’s Hyatt Studios.
