Top South Main Hotel Reviews

Hu. Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room and friendly staff. Rooftop bar was great to hang out in. Just wish they had a real restaurant on site. The area doesn’t feel great to walk around at night. So eating in the hotel would have been a nice option."

Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the unique room decor! So cool, and we had a beautiful view of the river and the bridge. So many amenities- we were just there for one night so didn’t really use them, however we did make it up to the beautiful rooftop bar- wow! Safe walking to Beale St, we used the public parking garage across the street and it was great. Would stay again for sure"

ARRIVE Memphis

10/10 Excellent

"Arrive is a great boutique hotel in Memphis. We’ve stayed there several times. The rooms are great and it has a wonderful lobby and bar. It has no parking and you need to have your car valet parked. It’s is a rough area of town but I’m happy to say the area was much cleaner and safe the last time we stayed. It’s a favorite hotel for us."
