A Swiss tourist sues Graceland hotel for $75,000
A Swiss tourist claims the hotel located across the street from Graceland failed to turn off an emergency alarm for 30 minutes, which ultimately caused him to develop the condition tinnitus, which he claims brought on severe marriage problems with his wife. The upset guest is now suing the Guest House at Graceland for $75,000.
One can only wonder if this celebration of “elegant Southern style” will honor sequined jumpsuits and velvet bedspreads.
After a successful first run in September, Graceland has announced its second-ever “Elegant Southern Style Weekend” from March 13 to 15, which aims to teach guests the finer points of cooking, entertaining, fashion and more with a series of workshops, seminars and speaking engagements with celebrity guests.

“I’m really excited to host our second Elegant Southern Style Weekend at Graceland,” Priscilla Presley said in a press release shared by Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. “The event [in September] was a huge success. The guests loved it and I loved interacting with them and sharing stories why Elvis always returned home, not only to Graceland, but Memphis and the South."
Presley added that the event will include discussions and celebrations of “Southern food, décor and architecture, dinner parties, floral design, wine tastings, outdoor living and entertaining, fashion, a Southern dance party and so much more.”
