The Hampton Inn and Suites Memphis-Beale Street is our value pick, and its location is hard to beat at any price. It stands at 175 Peabody Place, about a minute’s walk from the Beale Street clubs and a couple of minutes from FedExForum, home of the Memphis Grizzlies, so you can walk home after a night of live music. The 144 rooms and suites are clean, practical and comfortable, with the suites adding extra space for families or longer stays. The free hot breakfast buffet is a real saving for a family, and there is an indoor pool with round-the-clock access and a 24-hour gym. The hotel lobby is also the meeting point for the Taste of Downtown Memphis food tour, which makes it easy to fit into a trip. The Peabody ducks, the Rock ’n’ Soul Museum and the riverfront are all a short walk away. Expedia rates it excellent from more than 1,300 reviews.
Location and getting around: the hotel is in the middle of downtown, steps from Beale Street, FedExForum and The Peabody. The Rock ’n’ Soul Museum is a short stroll, the Civil Rights Museum and South Main are a walk of about fifteen minutes or a quick trolley or rideshare ride, and Graceland, Sun Studio and Stax are short drives.
Rooms: standard rooms and suites have a simple, modern look, and the suites add a sitting area. Rooms on the Beale Street side can pick up some noise on busy weekend nights, so ask for a higher floor or a quieter side if you are a light sleeper.
Who it suits: budget-minded travelers, families and groups who want to walk everywhere downtown, and basketball fans going to a Grizzlies game.
Good to know: the free hot breakfast is served on weekdays and at weekends with slightly later hours. Covered self-parking costs a nightly fee with in and out privileges. Prices rise on big event and game nights, so book early.
