This simple yet contemporary hotel is really all about the location. Located near Beale Street, famous for its blues entertainment and buzzing night market, there’s plenty to keep you entertained nearby. A free shuttle service to historic downtown Memphis with its fantastic restaurants and boutiques runs regularly. From here, you can visit Elvis’s Graceland, paddle-boat on the Mississippi River or watch the Memphis Grizzlies play at the FedEx Forum.
High ceilings, shining marble walls, historic balconies and extravagant chandeliers; just stepping into the lobby of this remarkable hotel is an experience in itself. Add the undoubtable charm of the iconic Peabody Duck March and it’s not hard to see why this enchanting up-scale hotel is a Memphis favourite. Timelessly elegant, only the finest French cuisine is served in Chez Philippe, offering a classic afternoon tea as well as exquisite fine dining.
Thompson Nashville is at the heart of The Gulch, one of Nashville’s most upscale neighbourhoods. The location is excellent – you’re just a 10-minute walk from Broadway and a 20-minute walk from the city’s famous Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, as well as Bridgestone Arena where you can watch everything from ice hockey to concerts. When you’re done exploring for the day, unwind in the luxurious décor of your chic room. They each have hardwood floors, sleek bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking The Gulch and downtown Nashville. On the ground floor you’ll find the main restaurant, Marsh House – it specialises in sustainable seafood and inventive southern cuisine, has an extensive wine list and serves brunch seven days a week as well as bottomless Champagne brunch on weekends. Grab your morning coffee at Killebrew, the café next to the lobby and named for J.B. Killebrew, the first Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, with a pastry counter and serving takeaway snacks including sandwiches. We love L.A. Jackson, the indoor-outdoor rooftop bar and restaurant which has live music from DJs on the weekends. Here you can enjoy cocktails and small sharing plates from a late night menu, accompanied by views over downtown Nashville’s skyline.
