The River Inn is an intimate boutique hotel just outside downtown Memphis, bringing together the charm and hospitality of the Old South and the rich history of Mud Island, together with European style. The hotel is nestled in a lovely suburban neighbourhood and has fantastic views over the river to Arkansas.
There are two restaurants for guests to choose from, as well as the impressive Terrace bar — a local favourite where you can enjoy superb sunsets and a vast array of cocktails and finger food. The rooms and suites are individually decorated with a tasteful mix of European and Southern influences.
OUR OPINION:
The River Inn offers all the trappings of a country hotel, with excellent service and homely touches, yet it sits only ten minutes from downtown Memphis, offering the perfect compromise for guests wishing to stay in a peaceful location but still explore the city.
