From Speakeasy Nights to Beale Street Strolls: Why Hotel Pontotoc Belongs on Your Memphis Getaway List

First Impressions

I entered my suite at the Hotel Pontotoc in Memphis, Tennessee, as bluesy tunes emanated from the Victrola radio and floorboards creaked. Preserved charm and modern luxury welcomed me.

An intimate 10-room property steps away from Beale Street, the hotel makes a perfect base for exploring. Heading out on foot, I took in museums, parks and cafes, soaking in the sights of Beale Street without a car.

The garden patio and hidden speakeasy bar offer safe, private spaces to gather, making it a great option for a girls’ trip, bachelorette party or even a wedding.
