In the
mid-1950s, the Gulf Hills Golf
Club and Resort in Ocean
Springs, MS was a favourite
hangout of Elvis Presley.
Presley would rent out the
entire resort, all the villas
and several nearby houses in the
Gulf Hills subdivision when he
came to town.
Now, after wrestling with the
notion, the resort has decided
to embrace the Elvis factor. It
took years of preparation,
remodelling and redecorating,
but it has opened for
reservations the "Love Me Tender
Love Me Suite."
The suite is a three-bedroom
wing on the second floor that
has a mezzanine, a parlor with
upholstered bar and a hall of
fame that runs the length of the
suite.
General Manager Donna Brown says
part-owner Karen Mavar and
interior designer Ray Ebberman
created the suite's authentic
look and feel of the 1950s.
The "Love Me Suite" rents for
$1,000 a night. No children are
allowed because it is furnished
with antiques and irreplaceable
memorabilia, like an ashtray
from the Pink Pony Lounge where
he performed on the grounds.
