There’s nothing quite like a fun vacation with your best girlfriends and Memphis fits the bill. The city is easy to get to from most major airports with tons of great food, drinks, shopping and adventures to be had within walking distance of downtown. Here’s how to have the best time in the Home of Blues, Soul and Rock 'n' Roll.
Where to Stay
Hotel Napoleon
Hotel Napoleon, is a historical building built in 1902 and located in the heart of downtown Memphis. The Scimitar Building was initially home to the old Memphis Press-Scimitar, a newspaper that went out of business in 1983 and sat vacant until it was turned into a stylishly modern boutique hotel, complete with a great lounge. There are a total of 58 rooms in the 114-year-old Scimitar Building which is walking distance to Beale Street, restaurants, bars, shopping, live music and more.
Where to Eat

Get the girls ready to have a great Sunday brunch (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at The Beauty Shop Restaurant, a former hair salon where Priscilla Presley frequented. The décor is futuristic with a 50s twist. Settle into a booth converted from a hooded Belvedere hair dryer and salivate over the endless options. Try eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, eggs Sardou or the southern breakfast with country ham, corn fritter, sunny eggs and apple butter.
