Guide to Gay Friendly Hotels in Memphis, TN

The Peabody is history, it is grand and takes one back to a time when staying at a hotel was a lifestyle rather than a convenience. The rooms are small but elegant and adequately appointed with bathrobes, but no coffeemaker. The lobby is amazing and was full of people drinking and dining and duck spotting throughout the day and night. It really is quite the experience, not to be missed in Memphis.

The location & atmosphere at “The South’s Grand Hotel” is outstanding. Service is very good, the historical nature of the hotel, ambience & story that goes with it is fun and difficult to beat. The downside of a historic hotel is that there can be physical limitations and in this case the bathroom can be very small even by hotel standards, which reduced my room rating down to average.

We stayed in an Executive King and I would not personally consider staying in any smaller of a room for future stays. The room was nice, but the small bathroom is a feature that is difficult to overcome. When it comes to value, that is tough because the rooms are rather pricey for what you get which is the reason for the average rating on value. If you are going to the social atmosphere & historical nature of the hotel, then perhaps the value is a bit higher but in terms of accommodations of the room itself, the “value” rating struggles.

Overall it was a nice stay and if you only have a few nights to stay in downtown Memphis is it worth doing at least one time. As a repeat visitor to downtown Memphis, you might make a different decision over time.

The hotel was in a wonderful location. We were within walking distance to Beale Street and Main Street. The room was spotless, large, and beautifully decorated. We had the tasting meal at Chez Philippe and it was well worth it-the service, food and presentation was incredible. We had an evening meal at The Capriccio Grill. I highly recommend the Chicken Pot Pie. The chocolate martini at the Corner Bar is an excellent dessert drink.

Do not miss the Duck March-try to arrive early enough to get a seat within the lobby. Room Service is amazingly quick and very tasty-we did breakfast three times from room service. I highly recommend the Eggs Benedict and the egg white omelet. Every associate we encountered was friendly and helpful. This is a class act in every aspect.

Vibrant and modern lobby. This boutique hotel sits atop the 7 story parking garage. The rooms are very nice and aesthetically pleasing. The beds and pillows are amazing! One of the best hotel beds I have slept on.

The pool was right outside our room, on the 8th floor! There is a corn toss game and lawn size jenga. Very nice!

We requested a spare blanket and literally within 30 seconds there was a knock on the door, and we had the extra blanket. Within walking distance of everything. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

The location is excellent! At walking distance of everything you wanna see downtown Autozone park (baseball stadium), Beale street etc etc. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Great little hotel – rooms are updated with a retro vibe, wet bar area with fridge, and very clean. Pros – Cool “rooftop” type pool area, which can be looked over by many rooms on the top 2 floors. Staff is very friendly. Walking distance to Beale – but there are def other closer options.

Very nice hotel in convenient downtown Memphis location. Near lots of restaurants & shops. Great outdoor pool area and our king size bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Davina who was working the front desk in the lobby had great suggestions for great local restaurants and was extremely helpful.

This is our first stay at Hotel Indigo and we stayed comfortably. The retro style deco was fun and cute. The room was a decent size and clean but the shower was a bit narrow once you close the glass door.
The outdoor pool was on the 8th floor and the pool side area was big. We lounged around poolside after dinner and it was very relaxing.

The self-parking garage that connects to the hotel lobby was very convenient, the front desk staff were kind and polite, and it was at great location.

Beautifully restored, spacious, and relaxing, this bed and breakfast is the perfect place to stay when visiting Memphis. The hosts are pleasant to talk to and obviously love what they do. There’s a gated parking lot and downtown Memphis is a literally a couple minutes away.

The owners have renovated this house to the highest standard. The room was huge, bed so comfortable with a remote to make the bed harder or softer for either side of the bed. The bathroom was also huge. The breakfasts were delicious, homemade courgette bread, delicious and the owners could not more helpful with advice where to go or what to see. Better than any large 5 star hotel.

Absolutely stunning romantic weekend getaway at the most beautiful B&B! The James Lee House is oozing with luxury. The new owners did an absolute amazing job with the renovations. The rooms are spectacular.

The beds are so comfortable and let me tell you about the bathroom…the soaking tub up in the window is a beautiful retreat but for me that large steam shower – OMG! I love this place and want to return. The breakfast also was so good and love the parfaits.

Our suite was lovely and the bed was very comfy. The breakfasts kept us full through lunch and were delicious. Homemade cream scones, cheesy grits, eggs prepared a la minute, applewood smoked bacon; all so yummy. The day previous was blueberry pancakes and chicken sausage. José and his wife were involved in every stage of the renovation of this stunner of a Victorian and are only too happy to answer questions. Gated off street parking was fabulous, as well, and there are great dining options within a mile or so of the house. This is a super choice for exploring Memphis.

The James Lee house is nestled in the middle of a quiet, historic neighbourhood, The Old Victorian Village. This beautifully restored nineteenth century house and former art college is a hidden gem of Memphis. The house has a large, gated parking space which was very important for us as we were traveling by car.

We stayed two nights in the Isabel room and everything was superb: a mix of antique and contemporary décor like in the rest of the house; comfortable bed and fine bedding; large and fancy bathroom which made us wish to renovate our bathroom back home; books, including a biography of Elvis and a few classics; a big-screen TV; a coffee maker for the guest’s convenience and the list goes on. It was a pleasure to return in the evening to the comfortably cool, quiet atmosphere of the house and of the room after a long day of exploring the wonders of Memphis.
