Sonesta Simply Suites Memphis East Poplar Pike

Comfortable, Suite-Style Stay Near the Memphis Music Scene

Modern and down-to-earth, Sonesta Simply Suites Memphis East Poplar Pike offers a relaxed stay just outside the center of Memphis. Located on a main road just 11 miles from downtown, this all-suite hotel provides home-style comfort with in-room kitchenettes, perfect for longer stays or travelers who like a little independence. Its low-key vibe makes it a great retreat after a night of live music and high energy.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a short drive from downtown means you're never too far from major concert venues like FedExForum or Minglewood Hall — but you also get to escape the late-night crowd noise afterward. With late check-out at 12:00 PM and quiet, residential surroundings, it’s easy to sleep in and recover. Free Wi-Fi and easy highway access make pre-show planning and post-show uploads simple. You’ll also appreciate the on-site grocery delivery service for stocking snacks before heading out.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends who want to hang out together in a suite with a kitchen
Solo travelers catching a legendary act in Memphis
Couples making a weekend of music and Memphis culture
Fans needing a quiet space to recharge after a loud night
Budget-conscious travelers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel provides a simple grab-and-go breakfast with items like muffins, granola bars, and fruit — great for mornings after a late show. There’s also a coffee station to get you going. With your own in-room kitchen and nearby grocery options (plus delivery), you can prep your own meals or late-night snacks. Several restaurants are within easy driving distance as well.

Nightlife Options

You’re just a short ride from Memphis’s famed Beale Street and its legendary blues clubs, dive bars, and lounges. While the hotel itself is more for relaxing than partying, its location makes it easy to enjoy the city’s music scene, then return to a quiet room for a good night’s sleep.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious, apartment-style suites and the friendly, accommodating staff. Many mention the convenience of having a kitchen and the peaceful location that's still close to everything. Cleanliness and comfort are consistently praised, along with the value for money.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury hotel or a downtown hotspot, and there’s no on-site bar or restaurant. If you’re looking for in-house nightlife or a social lobby scene, this may not be your top pick. Also, breakfast is light — more of a snack than a full meal.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quiet, comfortable, and affordable place to recharge after the show, Sonesta Simply Suites Memphis East Poplar Pike hits all the right notes.
