Luxury Visit to Memphis

Memphis is in the south-western corner of Tennessee and despite its small-town feel, it is the largest city in the state. Set on a high cliff overlooking the Mississippi River, it developed in the early part of the 19th century as a transportation hub for the cotton industry, but was also a major slave market for the domestic trade.

Today, Memphis is perhaps best known for its role in the 20th-century struggle for civil rights in America, as well as being the city that gave the gift of the blues to the world – along with gospel, soul and rock ‘n’ roll.

Memphis Luxury Hotels for Business and Leisure

Memphis has a select range of four-star hotels. Most are downtown or on Mud Island, which is, in fact, a small peninsula surrounded by the Mississippi River and the Wolf River Harbour.

Choose from intimate classic hotels with fine dining or fancy grand old dames set in colossal historic buildings, or contemporary glass-and-steel fronted hotels with large marble lobbies and a range of restaurants and bars.

At the luxury end of the market, you can expect your four-star hotel in Memphis to offer a variety of flexible guest room accommodation, from standard singles and doubles to luxury suites with separate bedrooms and living areas.

In most of Memphis’s four-star hotels, you’ll also have complimentary WiFi, 24-hour fitness rooms and business centres, with some providing standout features like rooftop terraces and limousine services.

Luxury Highlights in Memphis

You can’t visit Memphis without visiting the King’s Graceland, the former home of Elvis and the Presley family. Along with the tour of the house and its famous jungle room, you’ll also get the chance to nose around Elvis’s private jets and automobile collection.

Alternatively, take a stroll down Beale Street where the twang of a 12-bar blues wafts through every doorway. Stay for a beer and a few melancholy tunes, before heading to one of Memphis’s famous barbecue joints for a piled-high plate of pulled pork.
