Where to stay

The Guest House at Graceland

The Guest House at Graceland is by far my favorite place to stay in Memphis. Touched with Elvis’s style everywhere, the ambiance of this hotel is sure to please. There are two full restaurants, a stylish lobby lounge, a coffee shop, and a theater. The hotel is within walking distance to Graceland. Elvis movies play nightly at the theater. After the movie, be sure to stop by the complimentary Peanut Butter & Jelly Bar for a late-night snack!

Where to eat

Delta’s Kitchen

Start your day at Delta’s Kitchen with a savory breakfast, showcasing a buffet that offers an impressive variety of choices, from eggs and bacon to waffles, and omelets. You will certainly have numerous options to choose from. Also, the service was superb. The restaurant also offers a dinner menu.

EP’S Bar and Grill

EP’S Bar and Grill has the best burger in Memphis in my opinion! They offer lots of choices from burgers to pizza. You’re sure to find something that you’ll enjoy! Already staying at another hotel? That’s OK, you can still visit any of the restaurants without being a hotel guest. There may be a parking charge for non hotel guest.

Places to visit

Sun Studio

Sun Studio is an iconic destination. Recognized for its history of recordings by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and numerous other talented artists. The studio is still open and used by artists today. Be sure to stop by and take the tour, you’ll gain a unique behind-the-scenes insight into the studio’s history.

Lansky’s definitely has a style that will set you apart. From statement pieces to casual tees, they’ll have you feeling, and looking like a rock star! Shop Lansky’s here

Lauderdale Courts

Visit where Elvis lived before he became famous. You can contact them on Facebook. The Facebook page can be found by searching Lauderdale Courts – Elvis Presley Apartment. You can message or call them to find out the schedule. Tours are only available at specific times of the year. The apartment is also available to be rented for a night and you can sleep in Elvis’s bedroom. You’ll have to contact the office for full details.

There’s a living room area and small kitchen, a bathroom and two bedrooms. The apartment probably felt very roomy to the Presley’s compared to the two room house in Tupelo.
