Room, 2 Double Beds, River View

This room faces the Mississippi River. The hotel sits at 33 Beale Street, at the corner of Beale and South Front Street, so you wake up to the river and the Memphis waterfront at the edge of downtown.

The room has two double beds in a one-bedroom layout and sleeps up to four guests. That works well for two couples, friends travelling together, or a family with children. The hotel welcomes children of any age, and guests 18 and over are charged as adults.

The private bathroom has a bathtub or shower with a rainfall showerhead. It also comes with bathrobes, a hair dryer, shampoo, soap, towels and a magnifying mirror.

You get a 55-inch smart TV with digital channels and closed captioning, plus a coffee/tea maker, a mini-fridge and a minibar. There is free Wi-Fi, climate-controlled heating and air conditioning, and a laptop-compatible safe. A work desk with an ergonomic chair and convenient power outlets suits anyone who needs to get things done. Daily housekeeping is included.

Yes to both. Two double beds give a family of up to four room to sleep, and connecting rooms are available for larger groups. For business travellers, the desk, free Wi-Fi and laptop-compatible safe make the room practical. The hotel also has about 9,000 square feet of meeting space in the historic Ellis and Sons Ironworks building.

The room includes lever door handles, a magnifying mirror, a visual fire alarm and a closed-captioned TV. The hotel also offers a wheelchair-accessible pool, fitness center and business center.

Beale Street is about 0.17 miles from the hotel, and the Orpheum Theatre is roughly a 2-minute walk. On property, CIMAS Restaurant and the CIMAS Lobby Lounge serve guests, and the rooftop Beck & Call whiskey bar looks out over Beale Street, the skyline and the river. The hotel's resort-style outdoor pool has cabanas and lounge seating, and in-room dining runs daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 PM.

The outdoor pool is a heated, zero-entry pool with cabanas and a sun deck, and hours can vary by day and season. The fitness center is open 24 hours, with cardio machines, strength equipment and floor-to-ceiling windows facing the pool. There is no spa on site.

Check-in is at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM; early check-in and late check-out can be requested, subject to availability, and luggage storage is available. The primary guest must be at least 21 with a photo ID and credit card. Valet parking is $36 overnight. Up to two dogs of 50 lb each are welcome for a nonrefundable $100 fee for stays of 1–6 nights, but cats are not permitted. Service animals are always welcome.

The hotel is about a 15-minute drive from Memphis International Airport (MEM) in typical traffic. Graceland is roughly an 11–15 minute drive south. A rideshare typically costs about $18–28, which is easier than public buses that need transfers. The Main Street Trolley connects Beale Street with the National Civil Rights Museum and South Main.
