Overview
Chess prodigy Paul Morphy resided at 417 Royal Street in the 1800s, and the Morphy Room, a cozy parlor on the second floor, pays homage to the enigmatic man considered one of the world’s greatest players. The décor evokes the mood of a sophisticated English study, with a red velvet sofa, cocktail table and, of course, a chessboard awaiting a pre-dinner or postprandial match. Rich wine-color lacquered walls have panels of Scottish tartan in salmon, burgundy, and dark green, and are perfectly paired with a checkerboard-patterned rug in matching tones. Adjacent to the Morphy Room is the Veranda [inset photo] overlooking the courtyard, with seating for twelve. Perfect for quaint birthday celebrations or bridal luncheons, this room may also be used for a satellite bar setup during cocktail hour in the Morphy Room.
