Where We Stayed In Memphis: ARRIVE, Memphis

We always spend a lot of time researching hotels before a trip.


And to be totally honest with you…we usually nail it.


ARRIVE Memphis was no exception.


Located on South Main Street, this place ticked every box for us - great location, genuinely lovely staff, and one of those rooms that makes you walk in and immediately start taking photos (we have… a lot).

If you’re planning a trip to Memphis, this is definitely one to have on your list. And here’s why...


Location, Location, Location


ARRIVE is right on Main Street in the South Main Arts District, which turned out to be one of our favourite areas in Memphis.


It’s one of those locations where everything just feels easy.


You’re:


  • on the trolley line

  • within walking distance of Beale Street

  • close to Union Avenue

  • and surrounded by great places to eat


If you’ve read our 10 Things To Do in Memphis post, you’ll recognise a couple of nearby spots - The Arcade Restaurant is just around the corner, and so is the National Civil Rights Museum.


It meant we could explore most places without really having to think about it, which is always ideal when you’re on holiday.

Food, Drinks & That “We’ll Just Stay Here for One More” Feeling


One thing we really loved about ARRIVE is that even when you’re not out exploring, you’re still in a nice place..


There’s an in-house bakery and coffee spot for slow mornings (highly appreciated), and a cocktail bar that’s very good at convincing you to have “just one more” after a long day.


It’s the kind of place where you could easily end up spending more time than you planned, and not be mad about it.


The Rooms


The rooms were honestly one of the highlights for us.


You know when you walk in somewhere and immediately think, okay wow? That.


Ours was:

  • really spacious

  • beautifully designed

  • and just felt a bit different to your standard hotel room

We had a very comfy bed, a gorgeous bathroom, and all the little extras that make a stay feel easy. Bluetooth speakers, smart TV, mini-fridge for snacks (or leftovers!).


It’s one of those places that manages to feel stylish without being try-hard, which we really appreciated.


Final Thoughts


We absolutely loved our stay at ARRIVE Memphis.


It’s got that rare balance of:


  • good design

  • comfort

  • and a genuinely nice atmosphere

Would we stay again? 100%.Would we recommend it? Also yes - without hesitation.
