Things To Do
City & State
Great for coffee and shopping for local treats.
Gibson's Donuts
A Memphis legend. Even Guy Fieri has been here!
Crosstown Concourse
Quirky venue with shopping and restaurants
Dixon Gallery & Gardens
Sun Studio
Iconic. Well worth the trek but book tickets ahead.
The Peabody Memphis
A taste of Memphis in its heyday. Great for a drink in the grand lobby, or for the theatrical procession of live ducks into the indoor fountain at 11am and 5pm. One of my favorite things to do, however kitschy it may be! Go early to get a good view of this unique Memphis tradition.
Old Dominick Distillery
A little taste of the Tennessee Whiskey Trail. Tours available but book ahead.
Big River Crossing
Get up close and personal with the Mighty Mississippi.
City Silo Table + Pantry (Germantown)
Fresh and healthy food near the hotel. I love the Minty Python smoothie and the whipped carrot feta.
JoJo's Espresso
3 minute walk from the hotel.
Ciao Baby
A transplanted New Yorker plies his craft of making great pizza. Wonderful salads, too! About 15 minutes from the hotel.
Josephine Estelle
More upscale Italian. Brand new.....haven't been yet, but the restaurateurs are James Beard semi-finalists.
Local Lime | Germantown
Fresh mexican fare.
Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken
A Memphis institution, but it"s not your mother's fried chicken. Spicy!!!
Bog & Barley Irish Pub
Beautiful Irish Pub with gorgeous woodwork and huge chandeliers from Italy...in a strip mall, of all places. Good shopping area!
Central BBQ Poplar
A solid choice for Memphis BBQ. Get the homemade chips!
Coastal Fish Company
Great location at sunset. A crowd pleaser.
Elwood's Shack
A complete dive with great food. Another Guy Fieri selection with parking in the Lowe's parking lot. We love the steelhead trout tacos.
Bella Vita Gifts and Interiors
Self-explanatory. Lots of pretty things and next to JoJo's Espresso and the hotel.
Southern Avenue Company
A gift store as only Southerners can do them.
La Maison Antiques
This one's for you, Donna! Fun home furnishing and gift store. Go there and eat at Elwood Shack afterwards to get the full breadth of the Memphis experience.
Kat’s Sourdough and Juice Bar
Bagels, bowls, smoothies, and more. 10 minutes from hotel.
Collierville Town Square
Go for the small town charm, leave with a fabulous pair of boots from Hewlett and Dunn.
