Onsite Restaurant at The Westin
The Westin offers convienant dining at the onsite restaurant Bleu Restaurant and Lounge, which serves guests brunch, lunch, and dinner. You never have to leave The Westin Memphis Hotel! Most onsite restaurants I’ve experienced were blah when it came to the food or had lousy customer service. The Bleu Restaurant and Lounge staff were impeccable in catering to my needs.

Things To Do Near The Westin
Getting around the downtown area of Memphis is easier than ever. Everything is within walking distance or if you want a little fun, use the bird scooter to get around. You don’t need to rent a car unless you want to tour the wonderful city of Memphis outside of the downtown area. If you enjoy museums, why not book a tour at the National Civil Rights Museum, where you can find exhibits about African American leaders such as the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and other influential leaders? Suppose you’re in the mood for live music, head over to BB Kings Blues Club, or take a few salsa lessons at The Rumba Room, which are both near the Westin Memphis hotel.
