Ross Sinclair Gold Medal & Travel 2’s USA Product Manager, Ross Sinclair recommends staying at The Guest House at Graceland whilst in Memphis.
Having opened its doors in October 2016, this brand new guest house is located in beautifully landscaped
gardens just steps from the gates of Graceland – home to music legend Elvis Presley.
Down on the south coast of Louisiana you’ll fi nd New Orleans, one of the world’s most fascinating cities best known for being the birth place of Jazz. It’s a bustling place with a unique history and culture where Cajan, Creole and African cultures come together. Take a stroll through the narrow streets of the French Quarter as you listen to the sounds of the talented street musicians. Climb on board the New Orleans steam driven river paddlewheel and take in the city from the famous Mississippi River and don’t miss out on the delicious Creole cooking.
Tennessee boasts two legendary cities, each renowned for their musical heritage, Nashville and Memphis. The home of country music, Nashville is an elegant and welcoming city. Awash with the traditions of country music it offers an array of music-related activities from museums, tours and live music venues ranging from free riverbank concerts to line dancing. They say Memphis is the place where blues and country music had a baby, and they called it rock ‘n’ roll! Still alive with the sound of the earliest rock ‘n’ roll stars – most famously Elvis – and still pushing the boundaries of modern rock music. These two cities are a must for all music fans, suggest your customers take a tour of Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley and visit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Every aspect and detail reflects Elvis’ personal style and the unique character of Graceland, capturing his legacy and hospitality from the southern colonial exterior to the warm, welcoming interiors. A stay here is truly unique and a great recommendation for any music enthusiasts.
Stay 3 nights room only at 4* The Guest House at Graceland including Elvis Experience Tour from £799pp
