Memphis International Airport MEM considers itself as being the first 'Aerodropolis', which is an airport-integrated region extending outward from the airport in strings and clusters of airport-linked businesses and their associated residential complexes.Travelers from around the country and the world pass through the airport while making a pilgrimage to Graceland, Elvis Presley's 14-acre estate, which is a short distance from the Airport. 

Memphis Airport is located 5 miles south of the central business district of  the city of Memphis, in Shelby County, Tennessee, and is accessible via Interstate Hwys. 55, 40 & 240.  It  is also a 'superhub' for FedEx operations around he world.

The on-Airport Raddison Hotel is located at the Airport entrance, a one-minute drive from the passenger terminal.
