The Peabody Memphis

Had the most incredible one week stay at the peabody hotel. Was treated with kindness, respect and warmth from all the staff, they are so very friendly, especially the wonderful reception staff, who really did go above and beyond, they were incredible young people !!!..Also I must thank the lovely staff up in the VIP breakfast on the 12th floor. Margie and the Teddybear, thats what I call him, because he is so lovely like a big teddy...He made me smile with joy everytime I saw him...He also makes incredible waffles and omelettes..I had the most incredible experience up there. The iconic peabody is centrally located with loads of beautiful bars and restaurants around. 2 minutes walk to Beale street, and an additional 5 minutes to the beautiful river side and the walk along the Mighty Mississippi..I walked to these wonderful locationr during the day, and also took cabs to the botanical Gardens, memphis zoo and Graceland, which are all around 15 minutes away..I travelled solo, because its great to do so !!!. I met loads of lovely people who are now my friends. Never felt unsafe in memphis, its a beautiful city, and so is the Peabody, its a stunning hotel, with loads of interesting history, which you can read abt and view in the small museum they have. Im going to be returning next May 2027..So I'll be super excited to see you all again for another wonderful stay ❤️

Wonderful Hotel Enjoy the Ducks Enjoy Shopping Enjoy the Duck Duck Cocktail Enjoy the Sorbet and Deserts

One of my very favorite hotels throughout the United States. I enjoy grand, historic hotels. The Peabody has a sort of magical aura to it. From the marching of the ducks to the lobby bar area that never sleeps, from the lovely piano music in the lobby bar to the men's and women's clothing stores off the lobby bar, the rooftop and everything in between, no other hotel provides quite the same experience. A short walk to Beale Street and AutoZone Park (home of the Memphis Redbirds) and with first rate dining options on-site and other nearby, the Peabody provides it all.

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.

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.
