You've heard the music, now see the place Elvis called home as you explore the beautiful mansion, walk the gardens where he found peace, tour the aircraft that flew him from show to show, and encounter Elvis Presley's Memphis entertainment complex for an unforgettable experience featuring legendary costumes, artifacts, and personal mementos from Elvis and his family! Graceland is so much more than a Mansion - it was the private retreat of the King of Rock 'n Roll, where his family grew up, spent their time together and enjoyed life. Today, you're invited to explore Elvis Presley's home, Graceland Mansion, and immerse yourself in his life and legacy at Elvis Presley's Memphis Entertainment Complex.

Introducing an extraordinary resort experience in the heart of Elvis Presley's Graceland®! Recently voted as the #1 Best Musical Attraction worldwide, The Guest House at Graceland welcomes music fans, Graceland guests, Memphis visitors and tourists from around the world with Southern hospitality, royal treatment and luxurious amenities that would make the King of Rock 'n' Roll himself proud! Located just steps away from the iconic Graceland Mansion, and inspired by the "make-yourself-at-home" warmth that Elvis always showed his guests, The Guest House at Graceland reflects Elvis' style and charm. From the Southern colonial features to specialty suites with Priscilla Presley's design supervision, every facet of The Guest House has a touch of grace and a dash of rock 'n' roll that guests will enjoy after exploring Graceland and Memphis.

Walk in the footsteps of the King at Graceland! Explore the personal side of Elvis Presley with an interactive iPad tour of Graceland Mansion, hosted by John Stamos and featuring commentary and stories by Elvis and his daughter, Lisa Marie. The tour of Graceland Mansion includes the living room, his parents' bedroom, the kitchen, TV room, pool room, the famous Jungle Room, his father's office, the newly-enhanced Trophy Building, the Racquetball Building (newly-restored to how it looked in 1977), and Meditation Garden. Then step aboard Elvis' customized airplanes to see how he traveled in luxury! Elvis purchased a 1958 Convair 880 in April 1975 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. He spent more than $800,000 having the jet remodeled. Climb aboard this customized jet that features a living room, conference room, sitting room, and private bedroom, as well as gold-plated seat belts, suede chairs, leather covered tables, 24-karat gold-flecked sinks and more. Then, take a peek inside Elvis' smaller Lockheed Jet Star, the Hound Dog II, customized by Elvis with a yellow and green interior that was primarily used for taking Elvis' manager and his staff from city to city on his concert tours.

A state-of-the-art entertainment and exhibit complex over 200,000-square-feet in size, "Elvis Presley's Memphis" enables you to follow the life path that Elvis took, surround yourself with the things that he loved, and experience the sights and sounds of the city that inspired him. Experience Elvis' life and career like never before – his roots, his influences, and his artistry.
