The Peabody Memphis

Gorgeous, historic hotel in the heart of downtown Memphis. Adorable at every corner!

Outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We loved the March of the Ducks. Food was wonderful.

This is a great classic old hotel....very large. We had a great stay in a very comfortable room. They have the ducks who sleep on the roof in a cage and take the elevator down every day to the fountain in the lobby and back up each evening. We endured the entire ritual....if you miss it, you are not missing much. It is is very exciting for people who lead very boring lives. That said this is a very nice hotel, very conveniently located.

I great experience in a classic hotel. It is expensive but worth it for a Special Occasion (our 50th wedding anniversary). Staff excellent, rooms great, food and wine great, parking easy. The ducks of course, but get them REALLY early if you want a good seat for photos.

Arriving on the overnight Amtrak from Chicago at around 6:30am, hours before standard check-in, we were bracing ourselves for a long wait. Instead, we were met with a warm “not a problem,” and told our room was already ready. It was exactly what we needed after a tiring journey, especially traveling with my preteen while we both felt completely worn out. From that very first moment, the service set the tone for an unforgettable stay, but what truly elevated our experience was Jayda. Her attention to detail, genuine warmth, and intuitive sense of hospitality were simply exceptional. She made us feel not just welcomed, but truly cared for anticipating our needs, engaging us in thoughtful conversation, and helping turn ordinary moments on the lobby couch into lasting memories. Jayda has a natural gift for service that cannot be taught, and it made all the difference in our trip. The hotel itself offers so much to enjoy. From in-room dining to a beautiful afternoon tea experience, every meal exceeded expectations. The famous Duckmaster Kenon was as delightful as we’d hoped. His duck march was a highlight, and he even gave my daughter her own ducky and cane, which absolutely made her day. We originally discovered the hotel through a travel blogger, and Kenon kindly took time to record a fun video with my daughter… another special touch we won’t forget. Until next time!!! With hugs from Chicago! Between the incredible service—especially from Jayda—the iconic experiences, and the hotel’s perfect walkable location in a safe and vibrant area, this trip was truly remarkable. Memphis itself impressed us with its rich culture, museums, and amazing food, but it was the people—especially Jayda—who made it unforgettable.
