Housed in a 115 year old church in the middle of a charming east Nashville neighborhood with plenty of bars and restaurants but no other hotels around, the Russell is Nashville's most original boutique hotel. With 23 unique rooms and much of the churches original charm preserved in the properties 2019 renovation, the hotel features stained glass windows, brick walls and even reuses the churches old pews as headboards. Amazingly, the hotel donates a substantial portion of each nights bill to local homeless shelters. The Russell's slogan is 'Stay here, change lives' and thus far over 16,000 beds and meals have been donated.
