The Local Palate
"Set in the heart of Memphis’ Overton Square, The Memphian opened in May 2021. The space presents a playful tribute to the area that surrounds it. Reflecting the neighborhood’s arts scene, the space is full of bright, irreverent paintings and installations, from a chandelier crafted from fishing bobbers to the subtle nudity hidden in the restaurant’s wallpaper. The 106 modern rooms are outfitted with pillow-top beds and funky artwork, plus pink velvet and cheetah print accents. Tall windows framed by floor-length drapes gaze out over the square and each stylish bathroom is accented by subway tile showers. Look for the LaVazza coffee station as well as reusable bottles to be used at the communal water stations on each floor." [Read More]
