The Memphis hotels we run to
Downtown is compact and walkable. Beale Street closes, Main Street is pedestrian, and the cross streets are where a car belongs. Memphis hotels divide between the downtown and riverfront properties serving the visitor and convention trade, and the East Memphis houses along Poplar carrying the corporate business. Downtown is compact and mostly easy, with two caveats: Main Street is pedestrianised with the trolley running down it, and Beale closes to vehicles most evenings. We work from the cross streets and agree the point at booking.
These are the addresses people actually give a chauffeur in Memphis. Downtown is compact and the east is spread out, and the difference decides the booking.
Where visiting executives stay. Downtown takes the convention and visitor traffic, with East Memphis serving the corporate business along Poplar.
The Peabody Memphis
Downtown
On Union Avenue in the middle of downtown, the grand hotel of the city with a forecourt that works properly and staff long used to chauffeured arrivals. A block from Main and its pedestrian trolley line. During festival weekends the surrounding blocks close and we plan from further out.
Big Cypress Lodge
Downtown riverfront
Inside the Pyramid on the riverfront, which is unlike any other hotel arrival we handle — the entrance is through a retail building with its own parking structure. The address is straightforward and the internal route is not. We know which door.
Hu. Hotel
Downtown
On Madison at Main, right beside the pedestrian trolley line, with a compact entrance and limited kerb. Main Street itself is not available to vehicles. We work from Madison and agree the point at booking rather than discovering it.
The Central Station Hotel
South Main
In the restored railway station in the South Main district, with proper vehicle access off the station forecourt and more space than most downtown properties. Quieter than the Beale blocks and easy to work at any hour.
Sheraton Memphis Downtown
Downtown
Attached to the convention centre with substantial arrival capacity built for group business. During a show it is at the centre of everything. Straightforward vehicle access and a short run to the airport.
Hyatt Centric Beale Street
Beale Street
On Beale itself, which is closed to vehicles on the evenings guests most want to be collected. The hotel has a proper entrance; the street does not cooperate. We agree a collection point on a cross street before the evening rather than negotiating it in a crowd.
Crosstown Concourse
Midtown
A converted Sears building in Midtown holding a hotel alongside offices, clinics and arts space, with its own parking and clear access. Between downtown and East Memphis, which makes it a sensible base for a week touching both.
The Guest House at Graceland
Whitehaven
Beside Graceland well south of downtown and genuinely close to the airport, with a long entrance drive and substantial arrival capacity. It is not a downtown hotel and the journey to anywhere in the city reflects that. We quote it as the separate location it is.
From the Memphis hotels to MEM
Door to kerb, ordinary conditions. Graceland is closer to the airport than downtown is, which surprises people.
| Hotel area | Approx. distance | Off-peak | Allow in peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown · to MEM | 11 miles | 16–22 min | 25–40 min |
| South Main · to MEM | 10 miles | 15–21 min | 24–38 min |
| Midtown · to MEM | 9 miles | 14–20 min | 22–36 min |
| East Memphis · to MEM | 9 miles | 14–20 min | 22–38 min |
| Graceland · to MEM | 4 miles | 8–14 min | 15–26 min |
How Memphis hotel transfers are priced
Hotel transfers are quoted per route and confirmed in writing before you travel, with no surge pricing at any hour. The eastern properties are quoted as the transfers they are rather than as local runs with a surprise at the end.
For a downtown hotel on a festival weekend, we agree the collection point when you book rather than on the night. Beale will be closed and the alternative is better decided in advance.
