The Central Station Hotel, Memphis
More photosExpert reviews
“Directly across from the FedEx Forum and the gateway to Beale St, this is one of Memphis’ flashiest hotels. Spacious rooms – each with bathtub and separate shower – have all the four-star trimmings and excellent service.”
“The Central Station Hotel is perfectly situated to take in the sights and sounds of Memphis, set in a century-old but still-working railway station. Memphis is the birthplace of soul music and Central Station has integrated this legacy into the hotel, combining history with modern technology in unexpected ways.”

All you need to know
Memphis’s Central Station, situated in the heart of the recently revitalized downtown, primarily serves as a functioning rail and trolley station.
However, with the American rail system’s decrease, space has been made available for a feature of Central Station that will pique your interest: a 123-room hotel, part of the Curio Collection by Hilton. This brand manages to merge local flair and individuality with Hilton’s practiced professionalism.
Be sure to visit the bar dedicated to honoring the musical heritage of Memphis. Also, don’t overlook Bishop, the on-site restaurant that incorporates Southern ingredients and influences into traditional French brasserie cuisine.
A continental, Full English/Irish or American breakfast is available daily.

Pay too much for too little
Very cool place, interesting location. The room was quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was wonderful, large, clean, nice shower. Bishop's restaurant downstairs has great food. The bar is super chill.
The room was small, with no coffee maker, table, pretty much a bed and side table. There was no coffee or breakfast available. The bar is expensive.

Our stay was quick and easy.
The location was great. I also really enjoyed that the hotel was modern and clean.
my only complaint with the property was that it was poorly lit in the hallways and in our room. Our room had two big windows that during the daytime let in plenty of light but at night, we only had two beside lights to turn on. It was just unnecessary dark.

Just 1 more thing. If one is staying at the hotel I feel parking should be free. Not a $27.00
Location was good. Did not have breakfast. Did enjoy the bar area, maybe it could open before 4 p.m. sharp. Bartenders were attentive and good. We did have an appetizer. very tasty !
The room itself was a bit warm. Would have liked to have had a ceiling fan in our room. Also thought it was a bit tacky for the cleaning staff to leave a note asking for a tip ?

Great location and great value.
Great room, great location!
There was no bag for laundry in our room, and we could not get one after lots of trying!

loved the room and hotel, hated how they pretended to be part of the station but cut themselves off from the station com
Location off the train
How the hotel treats the station, that it is giving off of, like a scab. no connection to the actual station, thinking Denver Union Station. You can see how it treats train travelers as second class to their hotels vibe. It was sad.

Our stay was pleasant and the customer service was good.
I really liked the decor and the location of the hotel. The bed was comfortable and the restaurant was delicious.
The rooms were a bit small. Also, I asked to have my room serviced after 11a, I was given towels but couldn’t get my bed serviced.

Very cool, very fun and super delicious
Loved the location, trolley access, DJ, Bishop and Eight and Sand were amazing! Staff was SO FRIENDLY and everything was clean and cool!
Very tiny complaint that there was not enough light in our room. The windows are fantastic but it was overcast. Maybe a floor lamp or two? But otherwise awesome!

Cool Hotel!
The restaurant at the hotel was amazing for all meals!
The hotel was within walking distance to many restaurants as well as Beale Street.
There were 4 or us and only 3 towels and we only got one visit from housekeeping for a 3 night stay.

The atmosphere was great! The staff was so friendly at check-in, the bar, and the Bishop restaurant!
The heater made a loud noise and they offered to have someone come fix it. We just turned it down a little and it stopped

tasteful redo of former train station right downtown
Rooms: quirky retrofit of a former train station - rooms on level 2B are especially interesting as they are pieces of the upper lobby
Restaurant: French restaurant on first floor is outstanding but you will need reservations- the secret is out
Lobby Lounge - is a tasteful redo of a former train station hall; on weekends all of Memphis is there to mix in peace, love, & fine threads. tough to overdress here
parking is not free & valet parking is part time. a car parked on Saturday night by valet is a treasure hunt by owner on Sunday morning

Great location close to the downtown shops and local restaurants.

The water in the shower didn't get hot. And when I asked for clean towels I didn't receive them.

Other Memphis hotels
River Inn of Harbor Town, Memphis
Frommers + 2 more“It’s been around since 2007, but River Inn still manages to fly under the radar, and in fact, many Memphians don’t even know it’s there. On the banks of the river, in the yuppie waterfront community of Harbor Town, this boutique hotel feels very European: it’s perfect for an anniversary or other romantic occasion.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Memphis.
The Westin Beale Street, Memphis
Frommers“The rooms are classic Westin—bright, white, and sun-drenched—and in my opinion there’s nothing better than the Westin’s signature “Heavenly Bed,” with its plush, pillowtop mattresses and 250-thread-count sheets.”
Hampton Inn & Suites Beale Street, Memphis
Frommers“Hampton Inns used to just be budget options, but in recent years they’ve become more boutiquey, but without the big price tag. Everything about this hotel is reliable (including the service) and convenient (particularly the location). You’ve gotta love a hotel that doesn’t try to nickel-and-dime you, and it’s hard to beat getting freebies like the Wi-Fi and the breakfast.”

Hotel The Peabody, Memphis
Fodors + 2 more“Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth a stop to see this 12-story downtown landmark, built in 1925. The lobby has the original stained-glass skylights and the travertine-marble fountain that is home to the hotel’s resident ducks.”

Tornado warnings going off when we got there, we felt safe in there.
