River Inn of Harbor Town

The Good Life Magazine published the article, “River Inn of Harbor Town” featuring the River Inn of Harbor Town.

On an unusually chilly early April Saturday afternoon I arrived with my sister, Betty Ferree Powers, at the River Inn of Harbor Town in downtown Memphis. It was love at first sight!

The inn is located in the picturesque community of Harbor Town on the banks of the Mississippi River, which this particular weekend was swollen with rain water, causing hundreds of gawking drivers to cruise beside the river to observe trees that typically are in Greenbelt Park but were now eerily standing in swampy water.

Best Kept Secret In Memphis

The Calhoun County Journal published the article, “Best Kept Secret In Memphis” featuring the River Inn of Harbor Town.

The River Inn of Harbor Town may just be Memphis’ best kept secret.

The small, luxury, boutique hotel sits aside the Mississippi River just five minutes north of Downtown Memphis.

My wife Lisa and I enjoyed its many amenities last weekend while celebrating our ninth wedding anniversary with a quick weekend get-away.

Harbor Town itself is a unique “neighborhood,” which more resembles a small town with a view of the Downtown Memphis skyline. Harbor Town has its own grocery, cleaners, pizza parlor, fine dining, a retail shop or two and more. But the addition of The River Inn, which opened last October and its accompanying restaurant Currents, may be its biggest coup yet.
