The hotel towers above the surrounding downtown streetscape, with upper floor views spanning the Mississippi River to the west, FedExForum sports arena nearby, and the neon corridor of Beale Street to the southeast. Guest rooms are offered in Standard King, Double Queen, and Suite configurations, furnished in the contemporary Doubletree style with premium bedding, work desks, and flat-screen TVs suitable for both leisure and business travel. An on-site restaurant and bar serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, complementing Beale Street's dense concentration of dining options available within a 5-minute walk. The rooftop pool is a notable leisure amenity, with its elevated position providing panoramic views across the downtown Memphis rooftops and Mississippi River waterfront. The pool area is a sought-after gathering point during warm weather months. A fitness center with cardio and weight equipment is available on the premises. Valet parking is offered at the hotel entrance, and self-parking options are available in nearby municipal facilities. Hilton Honors loyalty members can earn and redeem points during their stays.
