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.

Great check-in if you are lucky, Diamond will be on the desk when you check in she really goes out of her way to welcome you and ensure a wonderful stay. I'm a titanium level with the I prefer frequent guest program and was treated to an upgrade. Nice big Corner Room on a high floor away from the elevator, my favorite room type. Daily room service nice workout facility and pool. Watching the Ducks go up to their Penthouse at night as a must at 5:00. Lobby Bar is very nice, and they have life jazz piano. The rooms are quite comfortable and restful. Things to be aware of if you use Lyft they have trouble figuring out which side of the building to let you off on and they only have one entrance open so you got to walk a city block to get checked in. Be very careful if you walk around or leave the hotel on foot. There are homeless and mentally disturbed people walking down the street panhandling and openly smoking illicit drugs.

Great Getaway

As usual, the Peabody was wonderful. We always enjoy getting to spend some time away at the Peabody.
Over hyped and rooms not suitable for families

I can’t understand the fuss about this hotel. It’s fine, but nothing amazing compared with other hotels we’ve visited over the years. I think it relies on the fact that there isn’t a huge choice of luxury hotels in the area so doesn’t have much competition.

I can’t understand the fuss about this hotel. It’s fine, but nothing amazing compared with other hotels we’ve visited over the years. I think it relies on the fact that there isn’t a huge choice of luxury hotels in the area so doesn’t have much competition.
I booked an executive king room for 2 adults and 2 children. I entered this on the website when booking, and the online information says that this room type accommodates 4 people. This is incorrect. The room had 1 bed for 2 people. The sofa could not be turned into a sofa bed as we had expected. We made the staff aware of this who, to their credit, tried to sort it. Jeffrey is great! We were told by front desk that the only option for 4 people was a double queen (a cheaper room type). We had no option but to accept. The room was small, and the bathroom was probably the smallest we’ve ever seen. The delay caused by sorting this out meant that we only had 5 minutes before the duck parade at 5pm. The children got a space near the front but we adults could barely see. Note that the foyer is full of people trying to see this, so guests of the hotel may struggle to see it.
On check out, I discovered that we were still being charged for the more expensive room type. This was corrected when I pointed it out. We then spoke to the overall manager about our overall experience who didn’t seem very interested and dismissively said he’d knock a further $50 off our bill. We are still waiting for that refund several days later. I doubt we will ever see it.
The pros are that it’s in a relatively safe area, convenient for visiting local attractions, and clean. If you’re visiting as a family, I’d look elsewhere unless you want to book 2 rooms.

Dismissive staff, missing item, wrong charge on my folio
Jul 18, 2025Discover587731
The hotel is beautiful, but I had a stuffed animal important to my children go missing from my room. I can only imagine it was somehow accidentally removed (maybe in the changing of sheets?) during the housekeeping process. When I asked the front desk for help locating it, they were rude and dismissive, and told me it was on me to call Lost and…

I also had a room service charge added for food I didn't order, which I still need to get sorted out.

The Peabody is a very special place that has been welcoming guests for more than a century. It's been through good times and bad, and I'm happy to say this is a very good time. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary there and were deeply impresed by the courtesy and professionalism of every staff member we encountered. Doug Weatheford, the part-time Duckmaster (retired from full-time) spent time telling us about the hjstory of the famous denizens of the lobby fountain and other legends of the hotel. The ladies and gentlemen who staff the 12th floor club lounge were delightful--Concierge Joanna Felix and Chef Jerome. Chef Mary went above and beyond, presenting us with a custom anniversary cupcake plate. This is one of the best hotels in the U.S.
