Manuel Zeitlin to bring history back to life in adaptive reuse property The Fairlane

In downtown Nashville, Tenn., Charlestowne Hotels is scheduled to open the Fairlane Hotel this fall. The property will open as an 82-room boutique property repurposed from a midcentury bank building. Manuel Zeitlin is involved in the project, which will have original modernist architecture and design details harking back to the 1960s and 1970s.

The Fairlane will include an all-American restaurant and bar, lobby café, and two rooftop penthouses with outdoor terrace space with views of Music City.

The Fairlane’s opening is part of Charlestowne Hotels’ historic adaptive reuse projects. The company has already opened The Collector Luxury Inn & Gardens in March, which involved Anastasia Design. As the first luxury accommodation of its kind in St. Augustine, Fla., The Collector Luxury Inn & Gardens comprises an entire block on the edge of Old Town and has a set of nine buildings repurposed from historic homes dating back to 1790, including seven guest houses, The Well Bar and General Story lobby building—each with museum-quality décor from the Dow collection of antiques on display.
