River Inn of Harbor Town
This 28-room boutique hotel still feels like one of Memphis’ best-kept secrets. Ensconced in the upscale community of Harbor Town, on a small island a few blocks north of the Pyramid, the inn has a west-facing, rooftop terrace that offers breathtaking sunset views over the Mississippi River. Fine furnishings, four-poster beds, and a wood-burning fireplace in the cozy lobby, as well as free champagne or wine upon check-in, keep loyal visitors coming back. It’s ideal for fitness-minded folks who relish early-morning or sunset workouts on the nearby well-manicured walking trails and picnic areas on the Mississippi River bank. Service is typically gracious and intuitive, and the included breakfast is one that’s actually worth eating, made by onsite Paulette’s Restaurant, which has been famous for its warm, fluffy popovers with strawberry butter (weekends only) for over 40 years.
