Memphis, Tennessee

4 stars

Legend lives on at The Peabody, Memphis’s grandest address. Deep in the downtown district, it’s just blocks from the relics of rock ‘n’ roll and blues that made Memphis famous, including Beale Street, Gibson Guitar Factory, Sun Studio, and Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum. Its most famous residents arrived in 1933, when the General Manager put his hunting decoy ducks in the fountain after a tipple or two of Tennessee whiskey. In 1940, a circus trainer taught them to ‘march’ and they still perform twice a day for guests (needless to say, duck isn’t on the menu here). That’s not the only custom that lives on, there’s the Peabody Afternoon Tea, the extravagant Sunday Brunch, and the simple tradition of indulgence, with the 5 restaurants and bars, Grecian-style pool and whirlpool, summertime rooftop parties, and Feathers Spa.

“Wonderful Stay and Experience”

May 03, 2026NorthStar32864401926

This hotel is so beautiful and well-maintained. Of course the whole duck show is so fun! Our room was very comfortable and clean. I loved all of the little duck amenities and decor throughout the hotel.

“The South's Grand Hotel”

May 01, 2026Taylor B

I've stayed at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis one one other occasion, several years ago. It is THE place to stay in Memphis, the South's Grand Hotel, a AAA Four Diamond property and home to the world-famous five resident Mallard Ducks who live on the hotel rooftop and march through the lobby daily at 11 a.m. Located at 149 Union Avenue, with a view of the Mississippi River and a few steps from legendary Beale Street, the 13-floor, 80,000-square-foot Peabody recently completed a multi-million-dollar renovation of all of its 464 rooms and bathrooms. The hotel features two extraordinary restaurants, Chez Philippe and Capriccio Grill, the Corner Bar, a lobby bar, Peabody Pastry Shop and afternoon tea. I reserved a Premium King Room with king-sized bed, 55-inch flat screen LGTV, clock radio, executive desk, chair and work station, in-room safe, iron-ironing board, Nespresso coffee/tea maker, hair dryer and bathrobe, free phone calls, high speed wireless internet access, tufted chaise lounge, walk-in closet, in-room dining and access to Peabody Athletic Club, pool and jacuzzi. Opened in 1925, the current Peabody was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. The original Peabody was built in 1869 at the corner Main and Monroe Streets, a block from the current address. It closed in 1923. The current Peabody is an Italian Renaissance structure designed by noted Chicago architect Walter W. Ahlschlager. It is known for the large red neon "The Peabody" signs atop the Skyway Ballroom and central elevator shaft and its "Rooftop Parties" in the summer months. But it is best known for a custom dating to the 1930s. Twice a day, a designated bellman or "Duckmaster" escorts five Mallard Ducks on a march from their penthouse home on the rooftop to the lobby via the elevator and, accompanied by the King Cotton March by John Philip Sousa, they proceed across a red carpet to the hotel fountain made of a solid block of Italian travertine marble. The ducks remain in the fountain until 5 p.m. when they ceremoniously march back to the elevator and upward to their rooftop home.

“The Total Experience”

The Peabody is not only a great place to stay, it is the Total Experience with hotel features, dinning, cocktail hours and the famous Marching Ducks. The Peabody is a must do while in Memphis TN.
