    Pioneering a new class of hotels for Hilton that raises the standard on business travel

    For decades, business travel has played to the extremes of “value” and “luxury.” Hilton was eager to seize the gap in between by delivering a more elevated experience that was still within reach. Our challenge was clear: How do you create a new class of ‘select service’ hotels that is curated to serve the evolving lifestyles of modern business travelers? And, with competitors moving in quickly, how do you accelerate the conventional process to go to market in less than a year?

    An image of a Tempo hotel room focusing on bedding with the Tempo logo by Hilton overlayed over the photograph.

    While business travel forces a detour on their growth journey, we built a balanced and uplifting experience where modern achievers can keep momentum and continue becoming their best.
