The Peabody Memphis

An amazing experience. First time to Memphis. The southern hospitality was on full display. Shout out to Nicole at the Peabody Deli, she was absolutely amazing.

10:16 Your reviews vur 2026 • Couples My second visit to the Peabody, my first was during Elvis week 2002, but I only visited. This time we stayed for 2 nights enroute to New Orleans following the great river road route, but as a huge Elvis fan this was an added bonus. The lovely Sonia Crawford upgraded us on arrival to a 12th floor Club room, which came with free breakfast and 24 hour snack station, which also included a happy hour 5-7. The room was fantastic, bed was so comfortable, Nespreso coffee machine, tuck in/tuck down service and water bottles every day. Free sweets/candy on the 12th floor outside of the lifts/elevators, nice touch. The statt to a tee were all incredibly helpful and friendly, we can't speak highly enough of them. If, like me your an Elvis fan, be prepared to spend some cash in Lansky Bros store, famous for being Elvis’ go to store with Bernard Lansky when he first found fame and fortune. Hal Lansky, his son still runs it today and is very happy to chat and have photos with you. We have both said it's probably our best ever hotel experience.

There’s a reason The Peabody is number one! I felt like I was in the lap of luxury! We had a wonderful room with bedding and bath towels and amenities fit for a queen. The bar atmosphere is exceptional and the staff are all top notch! The deli at the Peabody serves delicious sandwiches and desserts. I don’t want to leave! We’ll be back!!

Exquisite hotel and the highlight of our trip. Daughter wrote in her book she misses the Peabody already. History tour given at 11:30am is incredible and I highly recommend. It is worth the nominal fee and kids go free. I learned so much about Memphis and the interesting wealth and beauty of the hotel. (More details about the tour written below at the end - don’t read it if you don’t want to spoil the surprise). Everything about the Peabody is first class: Grand lobby we had a blast listening to the gentlemen play exquisitely on the piano, we played some card games with our kids, and soaked in the beautiful details & architecture. I wish more hotels had lobbies like this. It is a portal to another time. Service is top notch and reminds me of the level of hospitality you find in New Orleans. Friendly, helpful, delightful & professional staff all the way across every feature of this hotel. Valet was a reasonable fee and was able to fully charge our Tesla. And they didn’t rush us loading our plethora of miscellaneous bags. The third level of the hotel is a bakery so all the fresh treats you find throughout the hotel are made right upstairs and waked below for fresh chocolate ducks, cookies, pastries, muffins etc. Pool is adjacent to the workout center and pool is indoors and a gorgeous blue hue. We loved the pool. Duck parade is so special. The fanfare made me cry and I loved hearing the recorded uplifting message and song delivered to announce the ceremony. If you have small kids they let them sit right up front and don’t allow people to loiter in last minute to block the view. We arrived early so we could play a game at the lobby table and eat a snack and enjoy a nice tea we had with us. One of the round tables near the elevator was reserved so we grabbed the other round table by the elevators. This was the perfect table to view the ceremony as the girls sat right in front and could see everything. We had a nice family time in the lobby. Duck ceremony is world famous so don’t let people tell you it’s lame. Appreciate the care given to the ducks and the history and especially take the tour to learn more about history of the Duckmaster. My youngest daughter cared so much about the ducks she would hit S button in the elevator every chance she got to go up to the roof and check on the duck in their house. Luckily the weather was great and the roof was accessible our entire stay. It’s awesome to see the Peabody Hotel Sign at night and also see the exquisite design and view during the day. Room was nice and I adored the beautiful duck accents. Even the door knock is exquisite (see photo). I am a light sleeper and was to switch to a room not on the street but over the back of the property which was awesome. I didn’t hear any noise and the blackout curtains were fabulous. We all slept great and comfortable. We waked down Beale Street during the day which was neat and historical to see. We enjoyed spending the rest of the entire time enjoying the amenities of the hotel. If you can splurge to get the executive floor and get daily snacks and breakfast and drinks and candy bar it is worth it. We didn’t want to leave we enjoyed all of our experiences at the hotel. And we really Missed the hotel when we checked into a chain hotel the next night. Our glamorous night and day of special Peabody magic was over but the memories and feel and photographs and videos live on. We were delighted and safe in this hotel. Even the lounge with the singer welcomed our kids with sweet engagement. The French restaurant looked amazing and has incredible history. Onto History Tour (DO NOT READ IF DONT Want to spoil the findings) Overall memphis history information is fascinating. Building and construction of the hotel and opening party is interesting. The state and fate of the hotel over decades is quite a tail and I am forever grateful the brothers brought it back to its magical glory with exquisite care and painstaking recovery. The French Room, Elephant Statues, Greyhound Statues all have great stories. The wake room is fascinating and memorabilia is a must see. For Elvis fans like me this is a must as we were told 4 excellent Elvis historical stories that happened at the hotel and it’s amazing to see it in person. Elvis’s prom was in a special ballroom. Elvis and other famous bands played in the sky room and it was awesome to see it in person. Lanksy’s store is amazing to tour with the guide pointing out Elvis specific items and history. The pink coat made me cry. My girls liked when I sprayed Elvis cologne onto daddy. Don’t leave the hotel without hearing the story of the antique piano upstairs and don’t leave without seeing the first recording contact signed by Elvis at the hotel. So much history is woven into the hotel it would be a shame to miss it all.

The hotel was very lovely. The staff is very polite and friendly. The rooms are very comfortable. I love how some places are in walking distance of the hotel
