What Guests Are Saying
“This is a serene boutique inn overlooking the Mississippi from within a lovely upscale neighbourhood. Tug is a place to relax with a nice, casual menu and cocktails.Paulette’s is upscale with a historic past. The Terrace combines views of the river with funky artwork and lovely appetizers to accompany drinks. But what really makes The River Inn special and welcoming is each and every member of the service team. John, Judy, and Skye.” — Jussi, 5 stars

“We really enjoyed our time at River Inn. Harbor Town is quiet and lovely. The river greenbelt park was wonderful for daily walks. The restaurant was also very nice and convenient. We were staying there for a wedding which was held on the lawn out front and catered by the hotel. Everything was really nice.” — Kathy V., 5 stars

What guests are saying about River Inn of Harbor Town.
"A Hidden Gem in a Peaceful Corner of Memphis The River Inn of Harbor Town is a charming boutique hotel nestled in a beautifully maintained and tranquil neighborhood just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Memphis. From the moment you arrive, the serene atmosphere and elegant surroundings set the tone for a relaxing stay. The rooms are exceptionally decorated—tastefully furnished with a blend of classic and contemporary touches. They’re not only visually appealing but also incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. One of the standout features is the food and drink. Whether you're dining at Paulette’s or enjoying a cocktail at the rooftop terrace, the culinary experience is consistently excellent. The service throughout the hotel is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—staff go out of their way to ensure every detail is taken care of. It’s worth noting that the hotel maintains a quiet ambiance, with facilities closing by 9:00 PM. While this contributes to its peaceful charm, it may not suit those looking for a lively nightlife scene within the hotel itself. Overall, The River Inn is perfect for travelers seeking comfort, quality, and a touch of Southern elegance in a quiet setting. Highly recommended for couples, solo travelers, or anyone looking to escape the noise without sacrificing luxury."

I called River Inn and communicated my situation and they made changes to accommodate my mom so that I could bring her and still have a wonderful birthday trip. Our stay turned out amazing because of their kindness and helpfulness. I am so thankful and definitely will return."
