About The Chisca
The Chisca holds a special place in Memphis music history — it was here in 1954 that Dewey Phillips first played Elvis Presley's 'That's All Right' on WHBQ radio from the hotel's mezzanine studio. Today, this beautifully restored 1913 building offers luxury apartment living in the heart of the South Main Arts District. Units feature high ceilings, contemporary finishes, and large windows flooding spaces with natural light. The building's common areas pay homage to its storied past with vintage photographs and period details. Residents enjoy rooftop views, a fitness center, and the walkable South Main neighborhood at their doorstep.
