All you need to know
The Memphian Hotel is the kind of place where art, history, and Southern charm collide in the best possible way. Nestled in the revitalized Overton Square neighborhood, it gives off serious “stay-at-your-friend’s-cool-art-studio” vibes, with bold colors, textured décor, and a chandelier made out of fishing bobbers.
The hotel feels very much like the heart of the arts, paying homage to Memphis’s creative spirit through thoughtfully curated design and works by local artists.
With 106 unique rooms (plus nine suites), each space blends timeless architecture with modern furniture in a way that encourages creativity and rest at the same time.
But it’s not just about the look. The Memphian really delivers on experience. You’ve got the all-day eatery Complicated Pilgrim, which feels warm and welcoming whether you’re grabbing breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Then there’s Tiger & Peacock, the rooftop bar with celestial-inspired cocktails and a moody, moody atmosphere. Perfect for winding down after a day exploring Midtown.
There’s also a 24-hour fitness studio, pet-friendly rooms, and plenty of quirky corners where you can just chill, reflect, or let your imagination run wild.

nice hotel but service lacking.
The facilities are very nice . rooms clean and quiet- although no bathtubs. close to the areas I needed to be in . gym is nice.
the staff was not especially helpful. requests for extra coffee pods took 3 calls to accomplish. room was cleaned halfway- only some items attended to. no food options unless you use the restaurant- no room service, in room bar, or even soda/snack machine, I was referred down the street to a gas station at 10 pm to get a soda or snack. few in room amenities. great facility but service was lacking. service not matching up to facilities.

i would probably come back if I could check the room first
The aesthetic of the hotel is top tier. Plenty of beautiful selfies. Amazing breakfast and kitchen staff. I was upgraded to a suite because after having my sheets changed there was still hair on them. Jasmine upgraded my room and apologized. She ensured the rest of the stay went amazing. The entire kitchen staff was so nice ! The other guests were amazing. the music was so pretty and the Christmas spirit was everywhere! aside from those beginning hiccups the stay was nice. Had Jasmine not been there I would have left. Also a member of the housecleaning who came to change the sheets the first time was so nice ! she listened and changed the sheets without any questions, unfortunately they still had hair on them.
Originally I booked a room with two queen beds. there was long and short hair all over one bed and makeup on the pillow case and short hair all over the second bed. One member of the staff was extremely rude but I reported her to higher management and Jasmine was amazing ! (See above for the good stuff)

Good potential for an excellent hotel but falls short.
We had a nice breakfast there.
Staff was non-responsive. I left an air pod in the room when I checked out at 5am. at 10 am I called from the airport to ask if they would look for it for me. the operator said that he would tell the manager and she would get back to me about this. No response. the next week I called and talked again to he operator. He again said that they would have the manager call me. no response. I called a third time and asked about my air pod and again the operator appolgize for my troubles and promised me that the manager would call me to tell me something about the air pod. This time I did receive a call from the hotel but missed it. They did not leave a message and when I called back within 10 minutes of the call the front desk said that they did not know who called me and asked around but no-one knew anything about the call. No one ever called back. I have given up.
