If thereâs one thing we can say about Memphians, itâs that we love a good time. Whether itâs eating good food and drinking good drinks, finding the best spots to listen to music, or even just discovering a new favorite spot to kick back and relax, there are tons of spots around the city that should be on your radar. Sure youâve got your entertainment districts and we all love a meet-up on Beale, but thereâs something special about the hotels popping up. Not only are they a great place for your family and friends to stay at when theyâre in town, but theyâre also perfect additions to your weekend lineup! Check out our picks for our favorite hotels!
The Central Station Hotel
Central Station Hotel has everything you need for the perfect night out, weekend brunch, stay or vacation, and so much more. What started as a 108 year old train station has now evolved into one of the cityâs favorite hotels and serves as an anchor to the cityâs South Main Arts District. As a vibrant neighborhood filled with music, art, history, and culture, itâs the perfect fit. Here are a couple of reasons why you have to add it to your list of places to stop by!
Eight and Sand
Eight and Sandâs craft cocktails and delicious bites are the perfect addition to your late night hangouts. With the amazing music pumping throughout the hotel and the live dj lineup, youâll find locals and visitors hanging here!
Music, music, and more music
From a listening room, Egglestonworks speaker, live music lineups in the lobby and on the patio, and curated playlists on speakers throughout the hotel, music lives and breathes within the hotel. As soon as you step into the space, youâll see that itâs the perfect mix between a super swank lounge (especially with those delicious drinks we mentioned earlier) and your living room where you can kick back with your friends. Just down the hall and past the bar, the listening room has playlists highlighting Memphisâ iconic music legends, artists from todayâs local music scene, and so much more. Itâs the best way to get a taste of the sounds of the city. The fun continues outside too! You canât miss the Live at the Tracks music seriesâthereâs a lineup packed with some of the cityâs favorite local artists and views overlooking South Main.
Hyatt Centric on Beale
If youâre in the market for a party, this hotel is absolutely for you! The Hyatt Centric on Beale is one of the best places to go. With a selection of bars throughout the hotel, a pool thatâs perfect for all of those Instagram photos, and a rooftop that hosts one of the most live parties in Downtown Memphis, the Hyatt Centric is going to be a staple for you this summer. Speaking of summer staples, a new hotel is springing up next door and youâre going to want to keep it on your radar. The Caption by Hyatt is all about community connection. From the Talk Shop, tech-forward features, and modern design that incorporates Memphisâ soul, itâs a spot you canât miss!
The Arrive
Headed up from The Central Station Hotel? If youâre into aesthetics, The Arrive Hotel is where you need to go! As soon as you step into the lobby, youâll see that design is one of the propertyâs best features (and the vibes continue after you check into a room). If youâre catching up on a couple of meetings in the lobby/coffee shop, Vice + Virtue and Hustle and Dough are delicious ways to make the daily hustle way better. If youâre staying after 5, head down to Longshot and put your shuffleboard skills to use!
The Canopy
The Canopy is right at the entrance to Downtown Memphis and is one of the newest properties on the list! This is definitely the spot for those looking to hang out right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. Itâs right down the street from the FedEx Forum and itâs right across from AutoZone Park. A stellar feature of the property? The dining experiences. Their restaurant, Curfew, has a menu curated and created by Chef Fabio Viviani and has ample space for hanging out with friends.
The Memphian
If you havenât been to the Memphian yet, itâs time to head to Overton Square! The hotel sits right next to The Hattiloo Theater and is in the heart of the entertainment district. A huge plus? The entertainment continues throughout the space. The restaurant, Complicated Pilgrim, not only has menu items that explore flavors from across the world, but there are also dishes that are nods to the cityâs own culinary traditions! If youâre an Instagram expert, Tiger and Peacock is definitely for you. The Memphian has created the ultimate party experience at their rooftop bar. Think: velvet, disco balls, sequins, and all things glitz and glam!
