The Guest House at Graceland Hotel on track for a Fall 2016 opening

An extension of Elvis Presley’s Graceland Mansion in Memphis, the new 450-room, resort-style Guest House at Graceland Hotel has been on Graceland’s “wish list” since the mansion and grounds opened for tours in the early 1980’s.  The gracious, giving spirit of southern hospitality that Graceland conveys and Elvis Presley embodied, was a significant inspiration to HBG’s design process.  The hotel design complements the mansion and celebrates it, without overpowering it, ensuring the mansion retains its prominence as the focal point of the Graceland experience.
