If you’re looking for a place that’s equal parts unforgettable and uniquely Nashville, The Russell is it. My first stay was pure magic—and it definitely won’t be my last.
The hotel (a former church) is breathtaking with stained-glass windows and nods to country music’s most iconic stars (hi, pop-art Dolly).
Check-in and out were easy, convenient, and seamless. I loved being able to brew a cup of coffee before heading out to the airport or on my way to explore the city.
My room—an interior king—was perfectly appointed with complimentary snacks, waters, and even cute koozies. There were plenty of outlets and USB ports to charge my phone and battery banks, an easy-to-use air/heat unit, plus a Dyson fan and a noise machine to help me sleep.
The dimmable and ambient-friendly lighting let me set the mood when I woke up, settled in for the night, or relaxed. The bathroom was huge—and, honestly, the Dyson hair-dryer sealed my five-star review—and made getting ready in the morning even faster and easier.
The hotel is walkable to some of East Nashville’s finest restaurants, coffee spots, and shopping, and nestled into the most adorable brick-lined neighborhood that I suggest you explore. And getting to the airport and downtown was a breeze. I can’t wait to come back and explore other rooms and see more of Music City while staying here.
