A $24 million Overton Square hotel is still on track for its scheduled spring opening — though the pandemic did, at times, cause developers to have second thoughts.
Micajah Sturdivant, president of Mississippi-based MMI Hotel Group, said the 106-room Memphian, which will include 10 suites, is slated to open in April at 21 S. Cooper St. The 75,000-square-foot, boutique hotel is part of the Tribute by Marriott portfolio.
The Memphian is owned by LPI Memphis — formerly Loeb Properties Inc. — while MMI Hotel Group manages the hotel. Montgomery Martin Contractors LLC is the general contractor for the project
The hotel’s ground floor will feature Complicated Pilgrim, a 100-seat indoor/outdoor coffee shop and evening restaurant and bar. On the seventh floor will be the Tiger and Peacock, a 100-seat indoor/outdoor rooftop bar designed by GCD Interiors.
