FUNCTIONALITY MEETS DESIGN AT FAIRLANE HOTEL: Q&A WITH OWNER ETHAN ORLEY
"hen you enter the building, there is a grandness to the design akin to some of the great mid-century lobbies of the era. As you move to the fourth floor restaurant, the space turns to a more masculine social club and American grill. The rooms above evoke a more contemporary vibe with their crisp airness, however they are drawn back to the international style with our choice of fabrics, woods and shapes. Finally, the Penthouse is meant to evoke the bank President’s personal 70’s playpen equipped with a hanging fireplace, glam bathroom and true retro trimwork, not to mention an outdoor terrace featuring a 280-degree view of Music City."

Summary
Hotelier & Hospitality Design highlights Fairlane Hotel as a retro-modern oasis in downtown Nashville, built inside a historic bank building and featuring 81 mid-century inspired rooms, Ellington’s on the 4th floor with a terrace, and a bookable Penthouse with a 280-degree view of Music City, as explained by owner Ethan Orley.
