About this property

SM 305 · Modern in Historic Shell in the Heart of Downtown!

What used to be the "Ambassador Hotel" is now breathing with new life! This historic property was fully renovated from head to toe (but with much of the original character still intact). The brick exterior and interior walls add a lot of charm to this perfectly located downtown property with parking!
Your apartment is 1 of 10 equipped with its own washer and dryer, a super-comfy queen-sized bed, smart TV, SUPERFAST WIFI, and the convenience of a delicious restaurant right downstairs.

From the historic exposed brick walls to your front door everything has been renovated! Equipped with your own kitchen (and all the cooking essentials incl. salt, pepper, and olive oil) a washer and dryer if you will be staying with us a bit longer, smart TV linked to WIFI. Cozy seating areas, a kitchen table to enjoy a home-cooked meal, a delicious meal from the restaurant downstairs, or use it as a space to get some work. You will feel right at home :)

**Please see our photos with additional descriptions**

The Ambassador by Midtown Stays has its own parking lot next to the hotel and every guest gets one dedicated parking space. You can walk to everything downtown Memphis has to offer, including the famous Beal St, The Orpheum Theater, FedEx Forum, Dozens of Restaurants & Bars, and The National Civil Rights Museum.

Your apartment has digital door locks so you can check in on your own! So meeting you there in person won't be necessary but we will be available 24/7 if you need anything at all just send us a quick message!

Your apartment is located right next to everything! Out front of the historic Ambassador hotel, you'll see the trolley passing by on a regular basis on S. Main street where many fantastic dining and entertainment options are located (including "South on Beale" the restaurant on the first floor of your building! No car necessary here (although you will have a dedicated parking place). You can walk across the street and catch some live music or walk a couple of minutes more and find yourself on the famous Beale St!

Hop on the trolley out the front door of your building, rent a bike or scooter from across the street, grab an Uber, or... if you are feeling adventurous, take a seat on one of the horse carriages that pass by regularly! Plenty of transportation options at your fingertips and a short uber ride to the airport (~15 min)

***Other things to note:
We are right above SOB Restaurant and there will be noise that's noticeable during their normal hours of operation of 11am-9pm (10pm on weekends). We feel the convenience and fun nightlife energy just adds to the experience, but if you need more peace and quite...just make sure you reserve a room on the 3rd floor (units 301-305). Refunds will not be given due to noise level in apartment, rent at your own risk...but trust us, you will love it!

Absolutely Wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about this property and our hosts! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could! Communication was so smooth and any messages I sent were immediately responded to. Access to the property was easy and hassle free with keyless entry to both the building and our apartment. The dedicated parking space was so convenient. Being walking distance to Beale Street, The Civil Rights Museum and The Mississippi River was awesome and we were never bored! Graceland, Sun Studios and The Stax Museum were a short car ride or Uber away. The apartment itself was clean and beautifully decorated. Big, beautiful windows let in so much natural light. The bed was comfortable and the ceiling fan in the room made our nights even more comfortable. The full kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and make coffee in the mornings. We loved the open, studio feel that the property had. Although we didn't use them, the washer and dryer were an added convenience that I really appreciated. We were able to stream our own TV services from our phone onto the large smart tv in the evenings and relax on the big sofa. The bathroom had a large tub and shower and even had shampoo and conditioner should you forget your own. We can't wait to visit Memphis again with our family! We will definitely be staying again and have already recommended this property to friends planning on visiting the area.

Great Location and Clean

The apartment is within walking distance(2-3 blocks) of everything! The National Civil Rights Museum, Central BBQ, a cute local grocery market, Beale Street, Flying Saucer, The Orpheum, and more! We drove a short 5 minutes to Sun Studios. The place was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a short 3 day visit. Will definitely recommend to anyone I know visiting Memphis. We felt safe and secure! It’s also above SOB which has fantastic food. We loved our stay here.

Perfect location to many attractions

First time in Memphis. Loved the facility and ease of booking, communication, and Gus Chicken around the corner was best chicken I ever ate. It was great having onsite parking. I wish we would have stayed more than one night but will definitely be back in the future to stay with you again. I do recommend that the cleaners check under couch cushions because there were chip crumbs from previous guests. There were also ants on the night stand and in the bed. But over all the place was clean and I highly recommend staying here.
