📜 On this day in 2012…

The Memphis Business Journal shared plans for a new beginning at The James Lee House.

After years of sitting vacant, this historic home was given the opportunity to become something special once again.

Today, our rooms have welcomed thousands of guests, our courtyard has celebrated countless weddings, and our halls continue to collect new stories every day.

History isn’t just something we preserve.

It’s something we get to be part of.

From the Innkeeper 👩🏾‍💻

One of the most rewarding parts of this job isn’t checking guests in or serving breakfast.

It’s hearing from them after they’ve gone home.

As innkeepers, we spend so much time focused on the details—the breakfast menu, the cleanliness of a room, fresh flowers, late-night snacks, special requests, and making sure every guest feels welcome.

Sometimes we never know which of those details will stay with someone.

Then a message like this arrives.

To every guest who has chosen The James Lee House, thank you. Whether you’ve left a review, sent a note, recommended us to a friend, or simply returned for another stay, your support means the world to us.
