About this Property
Welcome to The Russell — Nashville's #1 boutique hotel and one of the most unique properties in the city. Housed in a beautifully restored 115-year-old historic church in the heart of East Nashville, The Russell offers 23 individually curated rooms that blend original architectural character with modern comfort.
As a technology-driven, concierge-less hotel, The Russell makes check-in seamless and puts the guest experience first. With a perfect 5-star rating on Google and ranked the #1 hotel on TripAdvisor out of 52 specialty lodging options in Nashville, our commitment to exceptional service is undeniable.
Best of all, every stay at The Russell makes a difference. Through our "Rooms for Rooms" program, 100% of every night's stay is donated to local homeless ministries — each stay providing beds, warm meals, and showers for people in the community. Stay here, change lives.
Please Note: Quiet hours for the rooms and the lobby are from 10:00pm – 8:00am. There are always other guests in the building (many in town for business) so please refrain from being too loud, yelling, playing loud music, etc. between those times. We want The Russell to be enjoyable for everyone!
