For a romantic retreat in Memphis look no further than the gorgeous River Inn of Harbortown. River Inn is a boutique hotel, located on an island in the Mississippi, has become a landmark in the historic Harbortown district. This compact and walkable area is a collection of picturesque and historic buildings with beautiful gardens and a riverside park. With so many famous attractions in Memphis a short ride away, such as the Stax Museum and Graceland, it is worth booking an extra night in town to make sure you have time to explore Harbortown with its delicatessens, cafes and restaurants. For a night out Harbortown makes for a much quieter evening than the barbecue, beer and rock 'n' roll of Beale Street. Across the street from River Inn is Tug's, a casual bar with a great line up of tap beers. At the hotel experience southern cuisine in a heritage setting at Paulette's Restaurant. Rooms continue the cosy heritage feel of the hotel with heavy drapes at the windows and four poster beds. Most rooms have views of the Mississippi River.
