Memphis' most storied hotel has been catering to a who's who of Southern gentry since the 1860s. The current incarnation, a 13-story Renaissance Revival–style building, dates to the 1920s and remains a social center, with a spa, shops, restaurants, an atmospheric lobby bar and 464 guest rooms in soothing turquoise tones.
Valet/self-parking is $33/24 per night. The pet fee is $100 per stay; pet-shot records required at check-in.
