Guest House at Graceland

"Why we love it: An Elvis-theme stay that lets you live like The King himself The Highlights: - Elvis-themed suites - An on-site arena offering family-friendly shows - Shuttles to Graceland, downtown Memphis, and Beale Street The Review: Memphis-based developer DreamCatcher Hotels consulted with Priscilla Presley to help design this property adjacent to the mansion at Graceland, ensuring reverence to The King without any of the usual gaudiness. At the 430-room hotel, guests now find an homage to Presley with just enough glitz and glam to keep things interesting. In addition to the simple but comfortable standard rooms, the Guest House offers 20 special themed suites, with one or two bedrooms and clever details like bold colors, extravagant furnishings, and Vegas-style metallic accents. The hotel’s two full-service restaurants include Delta’s Kitchen, which serves classic Southern cuisine for breakfast and dinner, and the more-casual EP’s Bar & Grille, where guests can enjoy everything from bar fare and pizza to steak and seafood while watching the game on several large TVs. For a different kind of entertainment, head to the on-site arena, which offers 464 stadium-style seats and family-friendly shows that add to the guest experience."
