Hotels with a Pool in Memphis
Memphis gives pool lovers two very different bases. Downtown, near Beale Street, the choice runs from the Peabody Memphis, with its indoor pool and full-service spa, to the infinity pool at Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis and the indoor pool at Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street. In Whitehaven, The Guest House at Graceland pairs an outdoor pool with a bar a short walk from Graceland Mansion, and it holds the best score of the group at 9.2 from more than 2,800 Booking reviews. Further east, hotels in Germantown and near Wolfchase Galleria add pools for travelers with a car.
Memphis is a music city with deep roots: the blues clubs of Beale Street downtown, Sun Studio a short drive east, Graceland in the south of the city and the Mississippi River along its western edge. Its hotels follow that spread, so where you swim depends on which part of the city you plan to explore.
Indoor, infinity and Graceland pools compared
A pool matters in Memphis because summers on the Mississippi are long, hot and humid, and an afternoon swim is the easiest way to break up a day of museums and barbecue. Indoor pools, like those at the Peabody and at Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street, also work in the cooler months, while outdoor pools suit the warm season.
The Guest House at Graceland is the top-rated pool hotel in this selection, with a 9.2 score from more than 2,800 Booking reviews. Its outdoor pool comes with a bar, and the hotel sits a short walk from Graceland Mansion, so a morning at Elvis Presley's home and an afternoon swim fit easily into the same day. There are two restaurants and a theatre on site, a complimentary airport shuttle and an evening Peanut Butter and Jelly Bar. The hotel is pet-friendly and also lists spa and wellness facilities. I would choose it for a trip focused on Graceland, especially with children who want pool time.
The Peabody Memphis is the classic downtown choice. This historic hotel combines an indoor pool with a full-service spa, a fitness center and fine dining, steps from Beale Street, and its lobby is known for the daily march of the Peabody ducks to the fountain. Its 9.0 rating comes from more than 2,300 reviews, the second-largest sample on this page. Because the pool is indoors, it works in every season, which matters in a city where summer afternoons are humid and winter evenings can be chilly. Pets are welcome. I recommend it when you want evenings on Beale Street and a morning swim, with spa treatments in the same building.
Three other downtown hotels widen the pool options around Beale Street. Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis has an infinity pool, a fitness center, a garden and a restaurant serving American and Mexican cuisine, with a score of 8.7 from more than 1,000 reviews. Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street is the simpler option, with an indoor pool, a fitness center and a free daily breakfast, rated 8.6, and it lists the entertainment district within walking distance. Hilton Garden Inn Memphis Downtown Beale Street adds a pool and spa and wellness facilities near AutoZone Park and the Orpheum Theater. All three accept pets.
East of the city center, the pool hotels suit travelers with a car. Hyatt Place Memphis Germantown scores 8.8 and offers a pool, spa and wellness facilities and pet-friendly rooms in the suburb of Germantown. Holiday Inn & Suites Memphis Southeast-Germantown by IHG, also rated 8.8, has an indoor swimming pool, a fitness center and a modern American restaurant, and it is convenient for Memphis International Airport. Hyatt Place Memphis Wolfchase has an outdoor pool and free parking a short walk from Wolfchase Galleria Mall. I would pick one of these for a road trip or a family visit when you prefer quiet streets to downtown nightlife.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a first visit centered on Elvis, I recommend The Guest House at Graceland: its outdoor pool with a bar is a short walk from Graceland Mansion, and its 9.2 score is the highest here. If you would rather stay near the blues clubs, I would book the Peabody Memphis, whose indoor pool and full-service spa sit steps from Beale Street and work in any season.
