The new lounge, to be built in the airport’s new Concourse A, will be the largest of the airport’s airline lounges, nearly three times the size of the existing lounge. The complex will offer spacious seating areas, work and relaxation spaces, and a design inspired by the local culture and landscapes of Tennessee.
Among the lounge's notable features are outdoor balconies overlooking the runways, alongside an indoor balcony overlooking the concourse area. These elements are designed to reflect the city of Nashville's social and open nature.
The project in Nashville is part of a broad strategy by American Airlines to expand and upgrade the Admirals Club lounge network around the world, while adapting the design to the nature of the destinations while maintaining a uniform service standard.

In addition to the physical aspects, the company also emphasizes the service experience in the lounge. Among other things, a unique initiative is mentioned in which a guitar signed by famous artists and guests passing through the city will be donated to non-profit organizations, as a way of giving back to the local community.
