Seldom does a place impress me so much but The Russell is it! An expertly renovated and repurposed church, every inch of this hotel is decorated, articulated, and designed to impress, dazzle, and comfort. Beautiful stained glass, handy luggage lockers, simple and great coffee, beautiful lamps and décor. The rooms are a continuation of the same thoughtful design, with beds from repurposed pews (incredible), mirrors that echo the buildings past, beautiful tiling, thoughtful complimentary snacks (where others charge), and little details from a white noise machine, to quiet Dyson fans, super comfortable robes, and great outlet access. Our room had a beautiful garden view to top it off. The bed and bedding are some of the most comfortable I've slept in at a hotel, and were a welcome relief after a stiff mattress at an Airbnb over the weekend. Totally without a front desk, the check in, check out, and support are entirely conducted over an email, text or phone from a super prompt and helpful team - at first, it felt strange, but quickly was one of my favorite details as it let me be fully present and undistracted by my stay and experience. Lastly, it can't be left out that the hotel is in an incredible neighborhood - beautiful, quiet, incredible restaurants, bars, and only a dash from anywhere in Nashville. Contribution to 'Rooms for Rooms' coupled together with the rest of this hotel shows this is a one-of-a-kind team. Easily one of the hotels that's most excited me over the years, and I could keep writing. Thrilled to have stayed and will be back without question anytime I'm in Nashville!
