Now that its framework is completed, The Memphian’s developers on Monday unveiled the concepts for the restaurant and bar, and the “vibe” that the boutique hotel will have. (Tom Bailey/Daily Memphian) Other partners in the seven-story building at 21 S. Cooper are Overton Square landlord Loeb Properties and boutique hotel developer LRC2 Properties. The Memphian will be part of Marriott International’s “Tribute Portfolio,” which comprises about 40 “characterful independent hotels.” The 106-room hotel’s atmosphere will be relaxed and “lived-in,” the release states. The hotel will be both “offbeat and elevated” to give guests a taste of Midtown’s unconventional personality.
