Michael Pramshafer Appointed Vice President of Sales and Marketing For The Guest House at Graceland

The Guest House at Graceland is the most significant enhancement to Graceland since it opened to the public in 1982 and the largest hotel project in Memphis in over 90 years. It was recently named by the Sydney Morning Herald in Australia, as one of the 16 most exciting hotel openings worldwide in 2016 – the only U.S. hotel to receive this recognition. Inspired by Elvis’ iconic home, aspects of The Guest House at Graceland will reflect Elvis’ personal style and the unique character of Graceland, from the southern colonial exterior to themed specialty suites, many with designs supervised by Priscilla Presley.

The hallmarks of The Guest House will be the gracious service and warmth and friendliness of the staff, combined with the celebrated southern hospitality for which Elvis was known and loved. Visitors from around the world and the local environs will enjoy an extraordinary “home away from home” that will delight all, no matter the purpose of their visit.  And as the resort hotel destination for the most famous musical landmark in the world, The Guest House will also present ongoing music and entertainment programming on the property, intended not only to enhance the visitor experience for overnight guests, but to attract Memphians as well.

The resort will feature spacious rooms and a range of elegant and contemporary facilities, including two full-service restaurants, expansive meeting and special events space for conventions, meetings, weddings and gatherings up to 1,000 people, a 464-seat theater for live performances and movies, a large outdoor pool and green space with capabilities for a 400-person tent for special outdoor events.
