About this property

SM 205 · Historic Details, Modern Updates, Prime Location!

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 :)



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 Arena, 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!



**There is NO elevator on the property.

This apartment was great so was contract with the host. It felt very safe walking to Beale Street, restaurants and many local attractions. The trolley runs right in front of the building but Uber and Lift was available for our trip to Graceland and the airport. We really enjoyed our stay there.

GOOD TIMES!

My 13 year old son and I had a bonding experience in Memphis with all it has to offer. From the location of the apartment to everything is fantastic. I’d love to come back with my entire family soon. We are a family of 5 so we would need a bigger space but I’m sure you could accommodate:)

Memphis Stay

The condo was great especially the location and having parking included. The only comment I would say is it would be nice to have the lights go a little brighter (for those of us with older eyes!!!). Otherwise, it was great. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.

Beautiful property, clean, easy access to a lot of downtown Memphis attractions. Took in the local cupcake shop, coffee shops, yoga studio, and restaurants. The National Civil Rights Museum is just a few blocks away as well as Beale Street. The upstairs apartment was a little loud and we could hear the restaurant downstairs but both were quiet by about 10. Highly recommended!

great location and apartment

The apartment was lovely, very clean and comfortable. It was in a perfect location for seeing Memphis sites and close to many restaurants---all within walking distance. We were able to walk to Beale Street to enjoy blues and music, the Civil Rights Museum, the Riverwalk, and was a short drive to Graceland. Parking was off street with a parking place devoted to our apartment only. Tim, our host, arranged for an easy check-in and out and provided recommendations for restaurants and information for sites to see. He was very warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful time.

Perfect Staycation!

This property is about 3 or 4 blocks off of Beale street and right in the middle of some of our favorite spots downtown (SOB, Slider Inn, Old Dominick’s, Birdies, and more)! Was able to pick up a cigar on the way to Beale street, had breakfast at the Arcade Restaurant, stopped by the National Civil Rights museum, got my favorite dry rub wings at central BBQ, and drove or had to Uber. Communication was great. Getting in and out was easy. And the price was better than staying in a hotel downtown. Condo was clean, bed and pillows were comfy. We’ll definitely stay for our next staycation!
