The Hilton Memphis stands as the tallest hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, United States.
Situated near Interstate 240 within the East Memphis neighborhood, this 27-story building was crafted by Francis Mah, a Memphis-based architect originally from Hawaii, and constructed by Boyle Investment. The hotel commenced operations on September 15, 1975, initially opening as the Hyatt Regency Memphis. In December 1989, it transitioned to the Omni Memphis Hotel, and later, in May 1992, it was acquired by Adam's Mark Hotels and rebranded as the Adam's Mark Memphis.
In April 2003, ownership transferred to Memphis entrepreneur Wilton D. "Chick" Hill alongside Dallas-based Crow Holdings for $45 million. Management responsibilities were handled by Hill’s Davidson Hotel Co. During a $12 million refurbishment aimed at aligning with Hilton’s brand criteria, the property was temporarily renamed the Park Vista Memphis Hotel. Hilton Hotels took over management in 2004. Subsequently, RockBridge Partners together with Davidson Hotel Co. purchased the hotel in May 2007 for $45 million.
As a key convention venue, the Hilton Memphis has hosted notable gatherings such as MidSouthCon in 2011 and Airliners International in 2012. Its facilities feature a gift shop, an outdoor swimming pool with whirlpool amenities, and a restaurant. The hotel is a popular accommodation choice for politicians on election nights and is recognized as the preferred lodging of Lisa Marie Presley during her stays in Memphis.
