Memphis TN hotel recs please

So, we're sitting around (me and the gf (no pics a-holes)) and we decide we just want a change of scenery and get away for a few days. We threw darts at a map and ended up with 8 finalist cities and then wrote those down and drew out of a hat.
The winner was Memphis. I haven't been since I was a kid and don't know the first thing about Memphis.
Any hotel recommendations? Must see types of things to do/see?

Memphis sucks
That being said take a tour of St. Jude, it is amazing and quite humbling
Also eat some BBQ

I have been to Memphis a few times on business, and had a great time. Beale St is a must do. I am not a big Elvis fan, but there's Graceland. I do want to see the Memphis Belle next time I go.

Was there a few weeks ago. Will second the Peabody recommendation..
Gus's Fried Chicken, Rendezvous or Central BBQ are good places to eat. Beers at the Flying Saucer. Hit Beale Street once for giggles and photos.
The Gibson guitar factory is there and offers tours. Good way to kill an hour even if you arent a musician.

The Peabody. Book now if you will be there for Memphis in May.
Have fun along Beale, and remember to check out Pink Palace, Stax, and Graceland.
If you want a more suburban hotel, go for the I-240/Poplar area.....but Peabody would be the best.

Peabody for sure. Gus Fried Chicken, get some BBQ too obviously. Memphis is so ghetto though, prayers sent

As stated Memphis sucks, that being said I would suggest the following
Graceland - I had no interest in going but my gf and her friends loved him. Surprisingly I found it very interesting.
Tunica - When I used to go the Fitzgerald casino had a great crab leg buffet. Casinos are spread out so to visit others you usually have to drive, but there are like 9 casinos there.
Pink Palace - LINK had a blast at this place check the link for info.
If you like baseball take in a Memphis Redbirds game, AAA for the StL Cardinals and a very nice stadium.

Definitely spend some time in midtown - Overton square/cooper young where the locals hang
Check out I love Memphis blog
Don't listen to people - People love to hate Memphis but it is heading in the right direction. Lots of money being poured into the city. That being said, just like in New Orleans, BR, etc be aware of your surroundings. Downtown on the edges can get sketchy and unfortunately the end of Beale is around that area

Skip it and go to the much nicer and cooler Nashville.

No Peabody, yes Westin on Beale and Madison.
Posted on 3/24/14 at 3:06 pm to htownjeep
Don't go to Beale Street, go to Main Street downtown.

Peabody. Without a doubt.

I lived there for a while and still visit a lot. Peabody is overrated and overpriced. Stay next door at Double tree and get a bigger/nicer room for half the price. Still walking distance to Beale street and down town memphis. I didnt read the whole thread but there's plenty to do to fill up a weekend. Beale street, Graceland, Red Birds baseball ( a great triple A park. Sit above the outfield on the grass for $5 and eat BBQ nachos), Grizzlies basketball, Tunica casionos/concerts, memphis in may BBQ/music festival.
Make sure you eat at Corky's and Hueys. Skip Rondezvous.
