Learn more about hotels in Memphis

Rooted in the cultural confluence of the sweeping Southeast, Memphis, Tennessee’s second most populous city, finds its rhythm along the stunning Mississippi River. This metropole is steeped in a rich tapestry of history, the remnants of which still linger in the air, much like the heart-throbbing melodies of blues that birthed in the city. Founded in 1819 by John Overton, James Winchester, and future president Andrew Jackson, Memphis evolved into a beacon of the Antebellum South, owing to its thriving cotton plantations and bustling river traffic.

As much a locus of history as it is a melting pot of music, Memphis played a significant role in the American Civil Rights Movement, a heritage still whispered in the city's cobblestones. Today, it stands as an imposing commercial centre in transportation and logistics, with FedEx among its notable employers. Yet, at its heart, Memphis remains a city that strums to the beat of the blues, earning itself the apt moniker of the "Home of the Blues". The city's flagship landmarks range from Sun Studio, 'the birthplace of Rock'n'Roll', to the charmingly kitsch, ancient-Egypt-inspired Memphis Pyramid. And while blending into the city's rhythm, don't forget to savour a bite of the world-renowned Memphis-style barbecue, sure to lure you back again and again.

When to visit Memphis

Memphis, Tennessee, a city that sings. You may be wondering when to visit this culturally rich metropole. The optimal time would be during the mild spring and fall seasons when the climate lends itself to the outdoor fun this city is known for. Spring welcomes you with balmy temperatures, averaging between 50°F to 70°F, offering gracefully hued settings of the Memphis International Film Festival and the Memphis Farmers Market.

Come autumn (September to November), the city remains pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F. As the leaves take their crimson hue, the city comes alive with the vibrant Memphis Music and Heritage Festival and the bustle of the Mid-South Fair. Exploring Memphis during the sweltering summer season should be reserved for those used to a heftier heat. Meanwhile, winter paints a calm picture with celebrations like the Memphis Christmas Parade and ice skating at the Memphis Zoo. Just make sure to circumvent the high traffic during major holidays and popular events for the most enjoyable experience.
