Found this interesting from an article talking about the future management of Beale Street. It talks about the Tri State Bank site at Beale/Main-- which has been discussed as a possible Hard Rock Hotel but nothing confirmed. This mentions talk of an Embassy Suites on the site, not sure if anyone else has seen anything about that and I may have missed it? It also talks about re-developing the parking lot to the West towards the river to expand Beale.

"Belz, a prominent Memphis developer, recently bought 180 Beale, an important corner fronting Main one block west of the historic district. While talk has surfaced about possibly building an Embassy Suites or other hotel on the site, Belz has not disclosed plans for the property, which was Tri-State Bank’s headquarters. The bank recently moved its head office to 1407 Union and spent $1 million expanding its Whitehaven branch."
