When it comes to finding the perfect place to stay in Memphis, our city offers a variety of hotels and other forms of lodging, no matter what you’re coming here for.
From hotels in the lively Beale Street area to boutique bed-and-breakfasts that offer quiet comfort, the Bluff City has something for everyone.
Downtown
In Downtown Memphis, you’ll experience the fun and history of the city. Start your day at Tom Lee Park and learn about one of Memphis’ greatest heroes, then walk along Big River Crossing for unparalleled views of the Mississippi River. Don’t forget to check out the shops, galleries and restaurants lining Main Street as you head closer to the live music and party atmosphere of Beale Street.
The lodging options in downtown Memphis run the gamut from as high-end as the historic Peabody Hotel to as quaint as the guest houses hidden just blocks away from Beale. The Peabody is perhaps the most famous hotel in Memphis, offering modern amenities, historic charm, and views of the Mississippi and the city skyline.
East
If you’re looking to rest your head in quieter, more suburban surroundings, East Memphis is the place for you. Within its scenic, tree-lined neighborhoods, you’ll experience fine dining, boutique shopping, the Memphis Botanic Gardens and many more treasures.
Staying on the east side of Memphis puts you in close proximity to attractions such as Shelby Farms Park, the Dixon Gallery and Gardens and the Crystal Shrine Grotto. You’ll find household-name hotels like Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn in this part of town.
Midtown
Ready to dive in to the eclectic arts scene of Memphis? Look no further than Midtown. Drop by Playhouse on the Square, the Hattiloo Theatre, the Brooks Museum and Ballet Memphis, then rock out to music at Minglewood Hall or one of the free summer concerts at the Levitt Shell. What’s more, there are plenty of restaurants all over Overton Square and Cooper Young when you’re ready to grab a bite.
There are a handful of nearby hotels that won’t break the bank, notably the Best Western Gen X Inn and the Holiday Inn Express Memphis Medical Midtown Center. Alternatively, the midtown area is an Airbnb hot spot!
Graceland
For all you Elvis lovers, there’s no better lodging option than the Guest House at Graceland. Conveniently located just a few minutes from the Memphis International Airport, the Guest House offers prime walking access to all things Elvis.
Beyond Graceland itself, there are a number of other attractions to enjoy in the area. Rockabilly Rides will take you on a tour of Memphis in style, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel is just a few miles away.
