MCLEAN, Va. - Canopy by Hilton, Hilton’s (NYSE: HLT) lifestyle hotel brand, today announced the addition of Canopy by Hilton Memphis Downtown. The 174-room hotel opens today at 164 Union Avenue, on the previous site of the Benchmark Hotel. 

“We are pleased to bring Canopy to the heart of Downtown Memphis,” said Jose Nieto, Chief Enthusiast/General Manager for the hotel. “The downtown district has everything visitors look for, including immediate access to the AutoZone Park, FedEx Arena, Orpheum Theater, restaurants, popular tourist destination and, of course, unlimited access to the best barbeque you will ever have!”

Locally Inspired Design

Canopy Memphis is designed by HBD Design and developed on the old site of the Benchmark Hotel. Its design will pay homage to the soulful spirit of the neighborhood while infusing a hip, modern look and feel. 

Guest Room 

  • Headboards are inspired by old thunderbird backseats
  • The canopy over the bed is designed out of old cane speakers
  • The bedside lights are designed to resemble old microphone heads
  • Every mattress is made exclusively for Canopy and features Serta cool gel technology
  • Each room is outfitted with a Nespresso machine
  • Bathrooms feature floor to ceiling marble 

Eat. Drink. Smile. 

The hotel will feature a signature restaurant, Curfew, by celebrity chef Fabio Viviani – American cuisine with a Spanish and Italian flare – and a sophisticated bar program.
