Talbot Heirs Guesthouse
Talbot Heirs is a pleasant surprise for travelers accustomed to staying in conventional hotels. Located in the heart of downtown Memphis, just a block and a half from legendary Beale Street, Talbot Heirs offers guests comfort in private surroundings that are as original, authentic and spirited as Memphis itself.

Talbot Heirs is small and privately owned. You won't find a traditional lobby here- just an office and private access to the rooms. Our innkeepers will meet you out front upon arrival and will give you personalized recommendations and assistance throughout your stay.
Services
All accommodations are spacious suites which comfortably accommodate two. Each is equipped with with a queen-sized bed, CD player, cable TV with HBO and a kitchen with stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, toaster, cookware and dinnerware. Most suites also have dishwashers and microwaves. Though some people refer to us as a bed & breakfast, we are not a typical B&B.

Very fortunate to stay several days with extended family for a wedding. Rooms are all unique with a creative sense of local style.
Staff went out of their way to assure everything went as planned. In the heart of downtown Memphis which make walking to all the local sites.
Well worth trying all the different and unique rooms.

Seriously 5 stars..

Take an Uber here from the airport. It will be about $30 vs $80 on car service :(

Each "room" is more like a super cool apartment. It's about 22 steps up to the main level. First floor has a convivence store.

We were in Room 6 which was great. The was a separate bedroom which is what we wanted.

The room had
- roll away bed
- iron
- blow dryer
- cereal
- milk
- bottled water and OJ
- coffee
- Full kitchen with eat in area

The bathroom was large and comfortable. The bed was great and I slept like a baby.

The staff is very friendly and helpful

Unique boutique hotel right in the heart of downtown Memphis. Eight custom decorated suites which were once apartments in this 1915 building. Walking distance to Beale Street and all it has to offer. Owner and employees friendly, accommodating, and go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Reasonable rates, too.

Hidden Gem! Only subtle door signage marks the entrance. Minimal street noise. Friendly staff. Worth every penny.

Glenn greeted us upon arrival and made us feel right at home showing us around our apartment!… #4. Yes ,these rooms are large ,comfortable apartments!!!!! Not just a hotel room. Beautifully furnished and VERY comfortable and quiet. Walking distance to the Orpheum and Beale St. and across the street from the Peabody. Mimi was awesome as well, suggesting when to go and how to get there. She was WONDERFUL !!!!!!!! If you are ever in Memphis , this is THE place to stay!!!!!!

This is a cute, comfortable and convenient place to stay if you're visiting Memphis! Jerry, the property manager, carried our bags, took us to the parking garage so we'd know just where to go and what to do, make great recommendations on sights and eats, and was just all-around friendly. The place was sparkling, the bed comfy, the shower great and the patio private. We'd definitely stay again! Right across from The Peabody and just 2-3 blocks from Beale St.

We were very pleased with Talbot Heirs Guest House. Our instructions were to call the manager just prior to arriving by car, so he could meet us at the curb. Our luggage was taken was taken to room six while Tom the manager went with my husband to park the car in a parking garage. Parking is $10 a day. There are eight rooms, on the second floor. There is not an elevator.. Our room was a suite which had a large living room a full kitchen nice bathroom and a large bedroom. It was nicely decorated, right down to the violet plants in the window. When we checked in one of the managers spent time with

Lovely hotel. Our suite is beautifully furnished . The hosts met us at curb to help with luggage. Hosts spent time telling us sites to explore. One of the nicest hotels I have experienced .

Our home away from home when celebrating our wedding anniversary during the Beale Street Music Festival! Wonderful owners and staff who have become great friends over the years! Can't say enough about how convenient the hotel is located in the Heart of Memphis! Across the street from the Peabody, next door to the Flying Fish and walking distance to Beale Street, Lorraine Motel/Civil Rights Museum, trolley cars, etc! The units are beautifully decorated and Comfortable with kitchens that have EVERYTHING you'll need! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You'll love Jerry and Sharon!

Hands down the best hotel experience in Memphis. It's unique and every other hotel should recreate what they have. If I can't stay here I won't stay in Memphis

The definition of a hidden gem! Tom goes out of his way to make sure you have a 5 star experience. The rooms are large and comfy. The hotel itself is creative and unique with a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. You won't find a better place in a better spot! Our stay was in March 2016.

I just took a job in Memphis and, arriving 5 days ago, needed a place to stay until my apartment was ready. I consulted Yelp in advance and, on the strength of the reviews, booked my stay at Talbot Heirs.

So glad that I did!!!

The great Yelp reviews are spot on. The hospitality of Tom and Sandy is second-to-none. My big, comfy and clean room, beautifully restored hardwood floor, the outdoor deck... I can go on, but you get the picture.

Bottom line: I may be moving into my own residence, but anyone I know who visits Memphis will be told they must stay at Talbot Heirs. Period. Full stop.

I'll reiterate everything that's already been said about how great Talbot Heirs Guesthouse is, and how friendly and accommodating Tom and Sandy are as hosts. This little eight-room gem in downtown Memphis was a joy to stay at, and centrally located across from the Peabody. It's easy to walk to downtown museums, Beale Street, FedEx Forum, Tom Lee Park. The suites themselves are large, clean and comfy. We didn't want to leave our room it was so nice.

The rate is super affordable, and there is affordable parking nearby that they'll give you a keycard for, so the charge can

Talbot Heirs is the place to be.

I cannot recall where I found them online, perhaps here on Yelp. All the rave reviews you see on here are true. A small place in terms of number of rooms, but spacious well kept suites. Comfortable, with everything you need.

It gets better though. Stay here and you are right in the middle of just about everything. Graceland is way out of the way, but you probably don't want to stay near Graceland anyway, there is not much else over there. Based out of Talbot Heirs you can walk to most fun things to see and do.

Tom and Sandy are great. Very nice

THIS IS IT! If you're looking for a place to stay in Memphis - look no further. TALBOT HEIRS GUESTHOUSE is your ticket. And Tom and Sandy --- you will not get rid of us now :-)

For starters, this place is more like an apartment than it is a hotel. Only instead of taking care of your own bags and parking your car, Tom meets you on the street when you arrive, stops traffic, gets your bags out, and places them inside the "always locked" door. Then he will get in the car with you to drive you to the covered parking deck across the street. There couldn't be better arrival

There's nothing about the Talbot Heirs Guesthouse that makes it seem like a hotel.

First, there's the entrance. It's a nondescript door sandwiched between a restaurant and a convenience store on Second St. It's the sort of door that, unless you're specifically looking for it, you'll miss completely.

The rooms, which are all located on the second floor of the building, are less like hotel rooms and more like studio apartments. You could spend some serious time in these suites - each one has a full kitchen that come stocked with free snacks and water, and some have

I am so happy I stayed here on our recent trip to Memphis. The owners Tom and Sandy were amazing, nice, and super helpful. They greeted us everyday to check in to see where we were going and offer up great directions, dining suggestions, or just awesome stories.

We were in town for Gonerfest and couldn't have picked a better place to rest after a long night of shows in a smoky club. Cute rooms with great decorations, quirky paintings all over the place. Awesome kitchen stocked everyday with tea, coffee, cereals, granola bars and treats.
