Memphis sits on the Mississippi River in the southwest corner of Tennessee and is known as a birthplace of the blues and rock 'n' roll. Beale Street, Sun Studio and Graceland, Elvis Presley's former home, draw music fans from around the world, and barbecue is part of daily life. Downtown is compact and walkable, while the eastern suburbs of Germantown and Cordova offer quieter bases for travellers with a car.
Where to stay in Memphis with a dog
Pet-friendly hotels in Memphis cluster in three areas: downtown around Beale Street, the Peabody and the Mississippi riverfront; Whitehaven in the south, where The Guest House at Graceland stands next to Elvis Presley's former home; and the eastern suburbs of Germantown and Cordova near Wolfchase Galleria, where suite hotels offer kitchens and free parking. Choosing the area first matters more than choosing the brand.
The Memphian, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, has the highest rating on the list at 9.3, from a smaller number of reviews. It offers family rooms, a restaurant and bar, spa and wellness facilities and an electric vehicle charging station, and it welcomes pets. The Guest House at Graceland, rated 9.2 from more than 2,800 reviews, is the most reviewed hotel here: it sits a short walk from Graceland Mansion and has two restaurants, a theatre, an outdoor pool with a bar and a complimentary airport shuttle. For Elvis fans travelling with a dog, it is the obvious base in the south of the city.
Downtown, the Peabody Memphis is the historic luxury option, rated 9.0 from more than 2,300 reviews. It has an indoor pool, a fitness center, a full-service spa and fine dining, and it sits steps from Beale Street. ARRIVE Memphis, rated 9.1 from more than 850 reviews, is a more modern downtown hotel with walk-in showers, an American restaurant, a bar and a fitness centre. The Westin Memphis Beale Street, rated 8.4, stands opposite the Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum, and Hilton Garden Inn Memphis Downtown Beale Street is close to AutoZone Park. Downtown is compact, and the Mississippi riverfront lies a few blocks west of Beale Street.
Two downtown hotels add a pool to their pet policy. Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis, rated 8.7 from more than 1,000 reviews, has an infinity pool, a fitness center, a garden and a restaurant serving American and Mexican food. Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street, rated 8.6 from nearly 1,200 reviews, includes a complimentary daily breakfast and an indoor pool, within walking distance of the music clubs on Beale Street. FedExForum, the arena of the Memphis Grizzlies, is also a short walk away. Both hotels suit a short city break when you want to walk everywhere with a dog and still have a pool for the evening.
East of the city, the suburbs suit drivers and longer stays. Staybridge Suites Memphis-Poplar Ave East, rated 8.9, has kitchenettes, a daily buffet breakfast and a seasonal outdoor pool. In Germantown, Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis Germantown, rated 8.9, and Hyatt Place Memphis Germantown, rated 8.8 from more than 750 reviews, both accept pets and have a pool. Near Wolfchase Galleria in Cordova, stayAPT Suites offers fully equipped kitchens and free private parking, and Home2 Suites By Hilton Memphis Wolfchase Galleria has a saltwater indoor pool and kitchenettes. Courtyard by Marriott Memphis East/Park Avenue adds free bicycles and a garden.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a first trip to Memphis with a dog, I would choose the Peabody Memphis: it accepts pets, is rated 9.0 from more than 2,300 reviews, sits steps from Beale Street and has an indoor pool and a full spa for the evening. My advice for Elvis fans is The Guest House at Graceland, a short walk from Graceland Mansion, with an outdoor pool and a free airport shuttle.
