Even if they have not visited, most Americans have at least seen pictures of thepalatial white- columned mansion that was once called home by Elvis Presley and his family. Located on(naturally) Elvis Presley Blvd.,about 12 miles from downtown Memphis, the estate known as Graceland has now officially been declared a National Historic Landmark as of 2006.
After the White House, Graceland is the second- most visitedprivate buildingin the United States. The mansion itself consists of 23 rooms, which includes 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. Many of the published pictures of Gracelandshowcase the huge Corinthian columns and large lions perched on both sides of the portico, but fewer pictures showcase the extensive modifications that were carried out to suit Elvis' needs and tastes. Graceland grew from 10,266 feet when originally bought by Elvis in 1957 (at just 22 years old), to the 17,552 feet it is today. He protected his property with a fieldstone wall that still surrounds the grounds,which is now covered in graffitifrom the millions of fans who havevisited Graceland to pay homage to 'TheKing.' The estate also includes the wrought- iron music style gates, a racquetball court,recording studio, the renowned 'jungle room' which features an indoor waterfall, and just past the outdoor swimming pool is the Meditation Garden, where Elvis and his parents are buried.
The Heartbreak Hotel is THE place for Elvis aficionados to stay when visiting Graceland. All guest rooms are equipped with a kitchenette and a framed picture of Elvis; with prices starting at just $112.00 per night. The hotel also features themed suites, that have all been modeled after various rooms in Graceland. The important to budget travel is to prepare ahead.
