The Peabody Memphis

This hotel was amazing! From hospitality to food, It was all TOP NOTCH! Staff's service was always done with a smile! Every area was clean and it's close to everything!

It’s iconic, colonial, attractive and steeped in local history. It is a landmark for the area and acts as a navigation point. As a hotel it is extremely attractive and famous, but let’s dig a little further. The standard room was small but very comfortable with all amenities you need. The bed was sumptuous and extremely comfortable. Bottled water is left everyday. The staff are very matter of fact and at times quite sharp in their tone - some perhaps forget their role and remonstrated with me about their tip. Everyone I spoke to was courteous but abrupt. The food onsite for breakfast was good and of course the onsite shops are linked both to the history of the hotel, the ducks and everything Elvis with his clothier shop located in the lobby. There is a happy hour in the corner bar everyday The Peabody ducks are a sight to behold. The history is an intrigue and can be seen in the upstairs museum, which talks about their time there and how they are treated. Their walk to the lobby fountain at 11:00am and return to their penthouse at 5:00pm marching to the music of JP Sousa as they go down the red carpet to and from the lift has to be seen. Location wise you are 3 blocks from Beale Street, 3 blocks from the Mississippi River and walkway 25 minute walk from Sun Studio and 15 from the Lorraine Hotel and Civil Rights Museum (where Martin Luther King Jnr was assassinated. The outside has been left as it was that day. Very eerie.) In our short stay we struggled to find much more than traditional America food around the hotel area but that could have been us. Transport links are not the best. To get to Graceland you need to book an Uber. About 15/20 mins about for less than $20 one way. If I were to go back I would use the hotel again but be wiser from my first visit.

From the moment we arrived we were not disappointed. The bar was well tended. The restaurant was great, Caprisio, the waitress Coco was lovely, smiley, kind and very attentive. The duck march was so lovely. It was great having the ducks in the fountain all day. Lovely room and very clean. Lovely duck in my gin too!

We enjoyed everything— the lobby bar with memorable duck parade; delicious dinner (short ribs, seafood macaroni, caesar salad, Mississippi mud pie) & breakfast (one Peabody breakfast & basket of biscuits) all at the Capriccio Grill; excellent live piano music in the evening; valet service made us feel safe about our car; very clean and elegant room.

Great place to stay. Clean, beautiful, loved the duck walk as they get all the children involved. Makes the children feel so good. Didn't try the food this time but will when we return. Best Beds we have slept in.
