The hotel

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.

Not a good stay, no tea coffee making or water in the room, roof terrace closed in the high season so if not out and about we were stuck inside, noisey hotel and has a cold atmosphere, swimming pool is in the basement and is cold. Hotel staff at the desk treated us as if we were talking a different language when we requested help with any thing. Too many people attending to see the ducks but not purchasing drinks ect. This made it difficult to acsess the lifts. Noisey guests in the corridors and rooms not finished to a high standard looks as if they were rushed. If you want to see the ducks stay elsewhere and just visit for 11 am and 5 pm. Not worth the stay Read less

We were given a room next to a suite that was under renovation. We tried to rest in the afternoon as it was extremely hot outside when we were visiting. It was impossible to rest AT ALL due to daytime construction noise. Additionally, there was secondary construction noise from the floor above us which was also being renovated. We did not ask to change rooms as we were out of the room site-seeing in the daytime AND we did not want the hassle of packing up to move. But, when we wanted to get in from the heat and rest, it was impossible! They NEVER should of put guests in that wing of the hotel! Read less

The hotel is absolutely beautiful and steeped in history. The room was fabulous, beautiful décor and excellent attention to detail. The pillows embroidered with ducks and little duck shaped soaps in the bathroom added to the experience. Staff were very friendly and incredibly professional, the valet service was efficient and speedy and the location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Beale Street. Graceland is only a 15 minute drive away too. We really enjoyed watching the ducks in the fountain and their adorable march back to the elevator. Our son is a huge Elvis fan, so we requested a room on the 6th floor as in July 1956, Elvis participated in a photo shoot at the Peabody in a room on this floor. The hotel accommodated this which made our trip so special. Furthermore, Lansky Bros. is located inside the hotel and we could not resist treating our son to the same shirt that Elvis wore in 1956 when he performed Hound Dog on TV. Cocktails in the magnificent bar area is a definite MUST and our son highly recommends a 'duck mocktail' and the Peabody chocolate duck - he said they were simply delicious. I just wish we could have stayed longer! Read less
