Mid-century interiors blend with the building’s historic architecture across 123 guestrooms and suites, many of which overlook the vibrant neighborhood or the Mississippi River. The hotel’s design highlights local art and the early 20th-century character of Memphis’ South Main district, reflecting the city’s deep musical roots. The 8 & Sand Bar features a striking 30-foot wall of vinyl records and a comfortable listening lounge, equipped with Memphis-made EgglestonWorks speakers for authentic sound.
