The Brown Hotel

Hotel Information: Guests enter a lobby full of Southern antique replicas, a hand-painted plaster-leaf ceiling, and pristine marble floors. The museum-like opulence of the décor is a quirky contrast to several laptops on wheels, which business guests and vacationers use to check e-mail in public spaces. Huge windows to one side of the lobby flood the room with natural light.

Insider tip: Diners at J. Graham’s Café can choose the “Hot Brown” sandwich, which was created in 1923 by Chef Fred Schmidt for guests who were hungry after an evening of dancing. The Hot Brown is an open-faced turkey sandwich with bacon and a delicate Mornay sauce. The pre-printed recipe is available upon request.
