Overview
Hotel Napoleon is located in the historic Scimitar Building, built in 1902 by Memphis’ leading businessman of the day, Napoleon Hill. The historic landmark that once housed the Memphis Press Scimitar daily newspaper now opens its doors to visitors as Hotel Napoleon. Opened fall of 2016, this boutique, upscale hotel offers guests 56 rooms, 2 suites, and extraordinary service at every turn. Setting itself apart from other nearby historic hotels, the boutique hotel’s interior is contemporary, a careful blend of modern design and classic architecture. Situated in the heart of Downtown Memphis, guests are just around the corner from popular neighborhood dining, shopping, and entertainment.
A Historic Destination
Today, Hill’s Scimitar building is one of a very few surviving examples of downtown Memphis’ early 20th century building boom, and home to our unique hotel. We have embraced adaptive reuse to preserve our architectural heritage while staying relevant and responsible into the 21st century. As you enter, take time to admire the historic building’s carefully preserved corbelled balconettes with their elaborate iron railings. If you glance up from Madison Street, you can still see the carved insignia—N and H—for Napoleon Hill, and now, Hotel Napoleon.
An Authentic Experience
Once you enter through our doors, you will notice the original Tennessee marble in the lower lobby and stairs, along with our updated contemporary flair. Thoughtful details highlight Memphis history, and the history of our building. Our experienced concierge can assist you with any detail to make your visit memorable and will go above and beyond to make special arrangements as needed. You will find that everyone at Hotel Napoleon is dedicated to every attention to detail, no matter how small, and that our Southern hospitality is an integral part of your authentic Memphis visit.
