20. Racquetball Building

Elvis became interested in racquetball in 1975, and he had a structure built to fit his new passion. This structure has two floors and is roughly 2,200 square feet. The racquetball court and a lounge were located on the first floor. Guests will enjoy guest facilities, a Jacuzzi spa, and Elvis’ private dressing area upstairs.

The Graceland racquetball building has been refurbished multiple times, yet it retains Elvis’ characteristic over-the-top aesthetic. There are five gold-plated showerheads in Elvis’ particular shower room! Elvis Presley sat at a piano in the lounge area the night before he died and played two songs for his pals. He performed “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” by Willie Nelson and “Unchained Melody” by The Righteous Brothers.
