The Peabody Memphis

The Peabody Memphis is a beautiful, historic hotel, and overall there was a lot to like about our stay. Unfortunately, as someone who uses a walker, I found the accessibility of parts of the hotel very disappointing. I wanted to visit the spa and had to walk a very long distance with my walker just to find an accessible ramp to get there. When I finally reached the spa, I learned they didn’t have any openings, which meant making that entire long walk back again. Better signage or information about the accessible route would have made a huge difference. More concerning to me were areas with stores and a deli that I simply could not access because there were stairs. When you use a walker, stairs aren’t just an inconvenience—they can make an area completely inaccessible. The elevator I found did not provide access to the places I was trying to reach. I understand that the Peabody is an older, historic hotel, and I certainly don’t expect the character of such a beautiful building to disappear. But guests with disabilities should still be able to enjoy the amenities available to other guests or, at the very least, be given a clearly marked accessible way to reach them. What was especially frustrating was being told, when I raised the accessibility issue, that they “didn’t follow that down there.” Whatever was meant by that response, it certainly didn’t make me feel that my accessibility concerns were being taken seriously. I’m writing this because other travelers with mobility disabilities deserve to know what they may encounter before arriving. I don’t want special treatment. I want the opportunity to enjoy the hotel, shops, food, spa, and other amenities like everyone else. The Peabody is a lovely hotel, but accessibility should be more than an afterthought. I sincerely hope they look at ways to make navigating this historic property easier and more inclusive for guests with disabilities.

Was only there for one day for business, but it was a perfect place to be. The Peabody is a unique and special place, not just in Memphis, but the whole United States. If you ever find yourself traveling through Memphis, you should treat yourself to a night at the Peabody. Watching the march of the ducks is worth the price of admission alone!

We visited here to see the world famous Peabody Duck March . If you are in Memphis you must pop along and see it. We stayed for a couple of drinks. It is a beautiful hotel with great service.

If you are looking for a long weekend or an overnight stay filled with historical charm, mid south top end hospitality then The Peabody Hotel is the place. Greeted with customer focus from the moment you pull up to the moment you leave sets the tone. Staying at The Peabody Hotel is an experience of character, excellent cuisine and comfort !

Love love love. This is truly one of the grand dame hotels that knows how to make you feel special and still offers the special touches that make a luxury stay feel luxurious. The lobby is fun for a drink or shopping, rooms are lovely and well appointed, staff is accommodating and the hotel offers airport pickup for a fee. Employees are top notch. All of them made us feel welcome. So glad we stayed here. Will be back.
