Great location for Blues lovers |
185 Union Avenue (at 3rd Street) Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 528 1800 http://www.doubletree.com |
In virtually the same location as the Peabody Hotel but with less expensive rooms, this place is a great value. Walk two blocks to Beale Street to eat in the Elvis Presley restaurant, listen to some great blues at B.B. King's, then have a drink in the Peabody lobby while you watch the socialites and prom-goers go by. Or instead, work out in the weight room or relax on the roof top swimming pool.

Memphis United States |
Downtown Memphis grew from the warehouses that stored cotton and other goods shipped up and down the Mississippi River. For much of Memphis' history, this meant that the riverfront was just a place for commerce. Now, when you take a ride on the paddlewheel boats that run regular tours from the Memphis harbor, you can spot joggers on the Riverfront Walk, visitors on Mud Island and elegant homes along the bluffs (including Cybill Shepard's--look for the round window). Visitors can take a beautifully restored trolley car up Main Street and stop at the Pyramid arena, grab a bite and a brew in one of the Pinch Historic District pubs, loop back to the south to see the Orpheum Theatre and continue on down to the Civil Rights Museum, located in the old Lorraine Motel, site of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination.

Heart-shaped pool and themed suites |

The Elvis Presley Corporation took over a Wilson World Hotel in 1998 and renovated it to create one of the most unusual and fun places to stay in the country. The lobby is furnished in retro, 1950s-style furniture in bright colors and animal prints. The gold, harlequin patterned walls form a backdrop for photos of Elvis, while the Jungle Room cocktail lounge is decorated in gold lame and sequins. Even the pool is heart-shaped to evoke images from the song "Heartbreak Hotel." Guestrooms are a similar mix of kitsch and glamour; each contains a kitchenette with microwave oven. This place is a must for anyone who loved "The King." Review © 2007, Wcities |

This place is a popular choice for newlyweds spending the night after their reception. You can sit in the lobby bar and watch horse-drawn carriages drive up with brides in beautiful gowns. However, if love is not in the air and the trip is all about business, then this place can meet the needs of the mobile office. Each room includes two-person whirlpools and French decor. Jazz music is featured in the bar on weekends, while the nearby theaters, restaurants and shopping of Overton Square provide additional reasons to choose this all-suite hotel.

Convenient to Memphis Attractions |
1180 Union Avenue (At I-240) Memphis, TN 38104 United States +1 901 276 1175 http://www.hamptoninn.com |
Just minutes from both downtown and Graceland, this midtown hotel is centrally located and convenient to many Memphis attractions. Take Union Avenue to Poplar and it's a short drive to East Memphis. It is also located next to Interstate 240, making everything outside of Memphis easily accessible as well. When you are not out seeing the sights, relax in comfort with a free in-room movie channel. The hotel also provides free breakfast to get your day started out right. But beware of idiosyncratic service- if you're allergic to frequent house cleaning, this place is for you.

939 Ridge Lake Blvd (Poplar at I-240) Memphis, TN 38120 United States +1 901 684 6664 http://www.hilton.com/en/hi/ho... |
This hotel is set well off the Interstate 240 perimeter around Memphis and overlooks a wooded area. The tall cylindrical structure with a blue glass exterior is an east Memphis landmark. The lobby bar with its live jazz music is one of the hottest spots in East Memphis, and the restaurant's wait staff often breaks into song while shuttling plates to the kitchen. With all the amenities of a luxury hotel, the Hilton is very popular with visitors. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The heart of Memphis |

This place is a true southern original - perhaps the only hotel in the world where ducks live on the roof and ride the elevator to the main floor and promptly march to the lobby fountain every day at 10a. Restored to its late 19th-century elegance, the Peabody is the heart that pumps Memphis social life. On any given weekend, you can sit in the lobby bar and watch people come and go from charity events, weddings and high school proms. With its central location two blocks from Beale Street and its two superb restaurants, Dux and Chez Phillippe, the Peabody is well worth the cost. Famous guests that have stayed here include Robert E. Lee and William Faulkner. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Memphis got its name from ancient Egypt. As a modern symbol of that heritage, this 32-storey stainless-steel pyramid rises from the banks of the Mississippi River. Completed in 1991 at a total cost of USD65 million, the Pyramid serves as a sports and concert arena, with 22,500 seats. It also serves the University of Memphis, housing the Tigers' basketball games and university graduations. The history of the Pyramid's construction is loaded with scandal, controversy and danger, take a tour and learn the whole story. Tour admission varies. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The University of Memphis is largely a commuter campus, thus it has not developed the usual collection of businesses catering to students. Instead, the stretches of Highland and Park along the borders of the campus have an odd collection of bars and a Middle Eastern restaurant called Mo-Jo's, which looks like a fast food place, but isn't.
