Gayoso Hotel, originally the Gayoso House was a historic hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. Built in 1842 it overlooked the Mississippi River. It has had a prominent role in the city's history.
It burned July 4, 1899 and was rebuilt according to a design by James B. Cook. Goldsmith's Department Store acquired it in 1948 and expanded into it from next door. It was eventually renovated for use as an apartment and office building with a restaurant.[1]
The Nineteenth Century Club met at it. George Washington Lee was a bellhop at it. Dennis Phillips broadcast from it.
It had murals painted in 1903 by Newton Alonzo Wells depicting Hernando De Soto's voyage that are now at the DeSoto County Courthouse.[2] The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a gelatin silver print of the hotel.[3]
