east nashville. they call it the eastside✨☝️ This one-of-a-kind Nashville hotel used to be a historic church. A historic East Nashville church has been renovated into a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel, and it's the perfect place to spend a night in the Music City. The Russell, named for its location at the intersection of Russell Street and 9th Avenue, is located in what was formerly the Russell Street Church of Christ. While the hotel offers modern style and accommodations, The Russell kept a lot of the church's original charm. The outside looks like the original church building did in 1904, but inside guests will discover inviting, modern accommodations with subtle nods to the building's religious roots. East Nashville is known for its quirky vibe and buzzing restaurant and nightlife, and The Russell is the perfect place to stay to take it all in. Powell Architecture & Building Studio incorporated the work of more than a dozen local independent makers and artists into the hotel's design and found creative ways to reuse the former church's fittings and materials. The Russell's lobby features the preserved architectural of the church, including two massive stained-glass windows, exposed beams and a sweeping 40-foot-tall ceiling. There are also handmade church-style pendants hang from the lobby walls paying homage to legends like Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn. The Russell offers 23 splendidly-colored guestrooms and suites with paint colors that compliment the building's stained glass. In addition, the church's original pews were upcycled to form contemporary headboards, and the rooms feature one-of-a-kind touches by local artists. @russellnashville stay tuned for more content this week featuring our stay at The Russell Nashville #RussellNashville #nashvilleguru #thenashvilleguide #nashvilletn #madeintn #tennessee #nashville #beautifulhotels #tasteinhotels #topworldhotel #globehotels #uniquehotels #amazinghotels #hotel #hotels #dienamicimage #djiofficial #nashvillephotographer #nashvillephotography (at The Russell) https://www.instagram.com/dienamicimage/p/CXNNRMAMfSm/?utm_medium=tumblr
