Location score of 9.4 says it all—this is the closest hotel to the heart of Beale Street’s action. The indoor pool gives you a controlled swim option after a night on Beale. Guests rave about the roominess and thoughtful amenities. “Best room we stayed in on our 3-week road trip,” one reviewer wrote.

What You Actually Get

The indoor swimming pool is clean and well-maintained. The big differentiator here: book a Handy Park View room to get a balcony overlooking Beale Street’s main park.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Memphis hotels with pools are open year-round?

For year-round swimming, look at indoor pool properties: La Quinta by Wyndham Memphis Downtown (#1), Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street (#5), Hilton Garden Inn Memphis Downtown Beale Street (#13), La Quinta Inn & Suites Memphis I-240 (#16), Holiday Inn & Suites Memphis – Wolfchase Galleria (#17), and Holiday Inn & Suites Memphis Southeast-Germantown by IHG (#12). The Guest House at Graceland’s outdoor pool and Hyatt Centric Beale Street’s pool are seasonal, typically open May-September.

Are pets allowed at these Memphis pool hotels?

Yes, several properties welcome pets. The Guest House at Graceland (#2) allows pets with charges. Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street (#5) is pet-friendly. La Quinta Inn & Suites Memphis I-240 (#16) charges just $25 + tax per pet—the best value in the guide.

Properties that do NOT allow pets include Comfort Inn Memphis Downtown (#7), Holiday Inn Express Memphis Arpt (#10), SpringHill Suites Memphis Downtown (#15), and Four Points Memphis Southwind (#18).

What’s the best time to visit Memphis for swimming?

May through September is outdoor pool season in Memphis. July and August average 90°F+, making pools essential. Note that outdoor pools typically open Memorial Day weekend and close after Labor Day. If you’re visiting outside those months, choose an indoor pool property like La Quinta Downtown (#1) or Holiday Inn & Suites Wolfchase (#17). November through March temperatures can dip below 40°F, so indoor pools are the only reliable option.

Which Memphis pool hotels are closest to Beale Street?

For pool access plus Beale Street proximity, Hyatt Centric Beale Street Memphis (#6) is literally on Beale Street with an outdoor pool and rooftop bar. Hampton Inn & Suites Memphis-Beale Street (#5) is on Peabody Place, one block from Beale Street, with an indoor pool and balcony options. Hilton Garden Inn Memphis Downtown Beale Street (#13) sits on Union Avenue, two blocks from Beale Street, with an indoor pool. La Quinta by Wyndham Memphis Downtown (#1) is a two-minute walk to Beale Street and offers an indoor pool.

How do I get from Memphis International Airport to these hotels?

Two properties offer free airport shuttles: The Guest House at Graceland (#2) provides a complimentary shuttle from 6 am to 11 pm (call from baggage claim to arrange pickup), and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Memphis Arpt Elvis Presley Blv (#10) offers a free shuttle for Graceland and airport runs. For other properties, ride-sharing (Lyft/Uber) to downtown runs approximately $20-30, and to Wolfchase/Germantown $30-45. Taxis are available from the airport taxi stand with rates around $25-40 downtown. Renting a car makes sense for suburban properties where free parking is included.
