The Central Station Memphis Curio Collection by Hilton

Kemmons Wilson Companies along with Henry Turley Company and Valor Hospitality Partners announced today the opening of The Central Station Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, a 123-room boutique hotel in Memphis' South Main District. The Central Station is Memphis' newest boutique hotel, transformed from the city's 105-year-old historic transportation hub. The property features mid-century architectural design, Memphis-influenced music programming, expansive meeting spaces and will also offer regionally inspired French brasserie cuisine at onsite restaurant Bishop, slated to open in November 2019.

The Central Station Hotel features upscale amenities and immersive experiences, drawn from South Main's distinct history in music, art and craftsmanship:

• Premium Guestrooms: The eight-floor boutique hotel boasts 123 elegant and spacious guest rooms, including nine suites that evoke the essence of Memphis through their rich color scheme and interactive experiences. Guest rooms feature tall ceilings, original oversized double-hung windows, elegant bath areas, custom artwork from local photographer Jamie Harmon and views of the historic South Main neighborhood or the Mississippi River.
• Elevated Amenities: For an authentic, immersive Memphis experience, guests can enjoy The Central Station's daily playlist on custom-designed, in-room EgglestonWorks speakers, controlled through a handcrafted knob on the room's desk. Additional room amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, 49" HDTVs, easy access USB outlets, refined products from William Roam's Steam collection and Keurig^® coffeemakers. Additional amenities include a fully equipped fitness center and 3,750 square feet of retail space.
• Unmatched Audio Experience: The hotel's two-story bar, 8 & Sand, offers a seasonal cocktail list rooted in the classics as well as a locally influenced wine list and beers from local breweries for guests to enjoy among comfortable sofas, parlor-style seating and a unique vinyl art installation. A daily house DJ spins records from a booth creatively designed from an old church organ, and a Memphis-inspired playlist is broadcast throughout the bar and lobby. 8 & Sand also features a separate, acoustically constructed Listening Lounge, showcasing Memphis-based audio designer Jim Thompson's EgglestonWorks speakers and the hotel's original written and produced podcasts on specific Memphis styles of music as explained by an artist of that genre.
• Expansive Events Space: Ideal for large corporate or social events, The Central Station offers 8,000 square feet of event and meeting space, including a 6,500-square-foot Grand Hall ballroom that occupies the transportation hub's former waiting room space. The Grand Hall features the original train marquee, soaring 33-foot ceilings and light fixtures inspired by train lanterns. The Central Station also offers a pre-function space and two boardrooms.

The Central Station Hotel's highly anticipated restaurant, Bishop, will open its doors next month. Led by award-winning chefs Michael Hudman and Andy Ticer, Bishop will offer a bold Southern twist on French brasserie cuisine.

"We are incredibly honored to have the opportunity to share the history of Memphis and South Main with visitors at The Central Station Hotel," said Jeremy Sadler, general manager, The Central Station. "Our mission is to provide guests with a premium, one-of-a-kind, Memphis-inspired experience through art, music and cuisine."

Managed and operated by Valor Hospitality Partners, The Central Station Hotel is located in the heart of the birthplace of rock 'n' roll, award-winning restaurants, historical landmarks and a robust art scene at 545 S Main Street, Memphis, TN.
