The Russell is truly a work of art. My partner and I stayed for a few nights and marveled at how much work went into the conversation from old church to hotel. The care and details are 5-star. We also were surprised at how much we loved the concept of a hotel without a concierge: being able to check in and out with a keypad, help ourselves with storing luggage with the keypad-operated lockers, self-service coffee bar, etc. the communal lobby area was enjoyable and we made many conversations with other guests coming and going. There was a calmness and quietness about the experience that was very peaceful and contributed to the experience. The room was large and felt expensive. The bathroom was massive and overlooked the garden. Also the neighborhood was great and we found we loved East Nashville way more than the rest of the city. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again if we’re in Nashville.
