James Lee House

Top choice in Memphis


Dating in parts to 1848 and 1872, this exquisite Victorian mansion in the city's historic Victorian Village at the edge of downtown is one of Memphis' most refined sleeps. The building sat abandoned for 56 years before it underwent a glorious $2-million renovation guided by the owner's keen eye for detail and design.

With preserved crown moldings, mirrors, cornices, 14 fireplaces and some hardwood flooring, the hotel offers five spacious suites, each impeccably furnished. The peaceful garden has an original fountain.
