Couples' staycation ideas in Memphis
A couples' staycation in Memphis is a night or two away together without leaving town: a hotel room downtown or nearby, an evening out on the river or Beale Street, and a room that feels like an occasion when you come back. The easiest version is to book the room and have Porch & Party decorate it while you are out.

Where should a couple stay for a Memphis staycation?
Pick the room for the feeling you want. Downtown puts Beale Street, the river and South Main in walking distance; East Memphis, Germantown and Cordova are quieter, with easy parking. A room with a tub or a view is worth asking for. Our guides to romantic hotel rooms in Memphis and Memphis hotels with an in-room jacuzzi are good places to start.
What are good staycation ideas for couples in Memphis?
- Sunset on the river: walk the riverfront or Big River Crossing, then dinner downtown.
- Music night: live blues on Beale Street, then back to the room.
- South Main evening: dinner and the galleries, an easy walk from many downtown hotels.
- A slow morning: late checkout, breakfast in, no plans.
- The surprise room: you go out to dinner; you come back to petals, candles and balloons.
How do I make the hotel room feel special?
Decor does the most for the least effort: a rose-petal walkway and heart on the bed, LED candles, balloons in your colors and a sign. We use LED candles only, never an open flame, so nothing sets off a smoke detector or breaks a hotel rule.
| Package | Starting at | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $300 | 15 ceiling balloons, banner, petal walkway, bed design, 8–12 LED tea lights. |
| Luxury | $500 | A styled balloon display and floating ceiling balloons, LED candle styling, rose-petal walkway and bed, and personal touches like a sign or lettering. |
| Signature | $1,500 | A grand balloon installation and a full balloon ceiling, floral arrangements, 40+ LED pillar and votive candles, and takedown included. |
How does the timing work?
- Book the room. No hotel booked yet? Leave the hotel blank on the request form and text it to us once you have it.
- Check in, then arrange access with the front desk or meet us at the room.
- Go out. We are usually at the hotel between 3 and 6 PM, around check-in time, and gone before your person walks in.
- Come back to a finished room. Takedown is optional: for a hotel room it is $75, and it is included with Signature.
What do people ask about a Memphis staycation for couples?
How much does a decorated staycation room cost?
Basic starts at $300, Luxury at $500 and Signature at $1,500, on top of the hotel room you book. These are starting prices; your quote depends on the room and how full you want it.
Is one night enough for a staycation?
For most couples, yes: check in mid-afternoon, go out for the evening, come back to the room and ask for late checkout. Two nights gives you a full lazy day in between.
Which towns do you decorate hotel rooms in?
Memphis, Germantown, Collierville, Bartlett, Lakeland, Arlington, Southaven, Olive Branch, Cordova, Millington, Oakland, Horn Lake and Hernando.
Do we have to be out of the room while you decorate?
Yes, that is the point: you go out, we set up, usually between 3 and 6 PM, and we text you when it is ready.
Can you set up a staycation for a birthday or anniversary?
Yes. Most of our hotel rooms are for an anniversary, a birthday, a proposal or "just because". Tell us the occasion and colors on the request form.
