The building is beautiful and the neighborhood is extraordinary. We had several exceptional meals and a great night of live music within walking distance and used ride shares for everything else. Took a self-guided walking tour of East Nashville, which features gorgeous architecture and multiple historical sites. Bed was very comfortable, shower was terrific, and the coffee pods in the common room - where we spent an afternoon reading and relaxing - were the best we’ve ever had. Staff was quick to respond to our requests (via text).

Our stay at The Russell was phenomenal. The property is so unique and in such a perfect spot for walking around and exploring all East Nashville has to offer (and is a very short, easy drive to other parts of the city) The lobby is beautiful and fun and the rooms have so much character as well! Everything was clean and comfortable. I loved all the attention to detail and the free water, snacks and coozies were such a welcoming added bonus! We loved everything about our stay at The Russell and can't wait to stay there again soon!

The Russell had lovely, modern, but not overdone aesthetics, in both the room and common areas. It was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and there were great coffee shops, food options, etc within easy, safe walking distance.

We decided to stay at The Russell after leaving a nightmare Airbnb stay. What a great choice that was! As soon as we pulled up to The Russell, we were awed by it’s former church structure, and the sorbet-tinged country vibe of its interior design. We also loved that our stay contributed to meals and accommodation to Nashville’s houseless population. In short here is what we loved about The Russell: Aesthetic Location Cleanliness Customer Service Bed We will definitely stay here again!

The Russell Nashville is an extraordinary boutique hotel experience! I was only in town for one night, and exhausted by the time I arrived at the hotel after an event. My room was quiet, impeccably clean, sublimely comfortable, and gorgeous. I appreciated the thoughtful touches (tasty snacks and bottled water). The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been a huge bathtub. That said, the shower was enormous. I felt good that part of my room rate helped homeless charities in the area, and I hope to stay at The Russell again soon.

Loved the location and the repurposed church as a hotel while keeping the architectural elements.

It was interesting to see how they used the space in this heritage church. Common spaces were great. The ensuite was great, lots of electrical and USB support.

The location was great - walkable to many restaurants & bars. The room was cozy & clean & quiet - a sound machine was provided in the room. We extended our stay & the correspondence was excellent to rearrange checkout.
