Hotel The Peabody, Memphis
Expert reviews
“Even if you’re not staying here, it’s worth a stop to see this 12-story downtown landmark, built in 1925. The lobby has the original stained-glass skylights and the travertine-marble fountain that is home to the hotel’s resident ducks.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Memphis.
“The Peabody Hotel has long been a Memphis icon: it’s the most elegant hotel in town and it’s just up the way from Beale Street. After a major renovation that ended in late 2013, the rooms gained contemporary touches that include boldly patterned rugs, geometric mirrors, sculptural-looking headboards, keyless card systems, and soundproof, energy-efficient windows.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Memphis.
“The Peabody is a Memphis landmark. Perhaps best known for its signature ducks that march twice daily to splash in the hotel’s fountain, this grand hotel is also a shopping destination (it’s the home of Lansky’s, Elvis’ favorite clothing store).”

Nice hotel located in a great location
Very nice hotel located in a great location near Beale Street and the river. On Thursday nights during the summer, they have live music on the rooftop. A lot of good dining options at the hotel and nearby.
Parking was expensive, but it was secure.

Just magical and I will definitely be back!
The Peabody was luxurious and spectacular! Afternoon tea was worth every penny! The free hot cocoa and coffee were a high light and the duck parade is unforgettable!
The staff had a bit too much of the “stay in order” attitude at times. Although they were more than accommodating and always helped me figure out a good solution.

Our family including pup loved our stay
Enjoyed the history and architecture. Loved the ducks and the duck master . The room was very comfortable and appreciated allowing dogs . My pup loved the gift bag.
I did not like the Italian steakhouse. Food was overpriced and not good and service for dinner was poor.

We were on the 11th floor, brilliant views over to the Mississipi River, the room was a good size lovely and clean and the pillows were the softest but so comfy. It's a gorgeous hotel with so much to see inside, the Duck parade was lovely to see and the duck master so informative. The reception staff are very nice and helpful. It was just a 5 minute walk to Beale St,
It is a little pricey for a room and drinks at the bar, but, nice as a one off for 1 night for a special occasion.

Old-world elegance!
The hotel was absolutely stunning! It had an old-world feel that made us feel as if we were living like the rich and famous of 100 years ago. We spent most of our visit on the property rather than sightseeing in the area. It could not have been more perfect.

Beautiful venue!!!
Everything inside the Peabody was top notch! Had stayed once before about 20 years ago and was everything I remembered.
Beale Street and Memphis itself has really gone down hill badly, such a shame. Used to be a cool place, now feels like a ghetto with homeless people and lowlifes, smelling like sewers everywhere.

Fabulous
Everyone was wonderful except our experience with Andrea.
When we checked in the lady wasn't friendly. She didn't explain anything to us.

Would stay at the Peabody again!
The Peabody Hotel was gorgeous. It had history and was so beautiful. The staff were all so responsive and welcoming. We definitely enjoyed the Duck Master and the duck walks as well as the bar on the lobby level. It was just a fun place to stay! Loved the location, only two blocks from Beale Street and parking was so easy with the valet parking.
One suggestion is to have a bathtub rail to ensure safety for us older visitors when entering and exiting the tub. Also, the shower curtain was short and its length could not keep the water from dripping out of the bath enclosure. I spoke with the housekeeper who replaced our curtains quickly which addressed the problem.

Historic Hotel with fabulous lobby. The ducks are truly represented throughout the decor.
Bathroom was small but expected with older hotel. Would have liked more snack options in hotel lobby bar, had to go to smaller bar for food.

Location, comfort, luxury, highest levels of customer care all amazing. The best hotel in Memphis.
Our stay was amazing. Everything was exceptional and every staff member excelled in customer service to a high standard. Wished we could have stayed longer!
A small issue with hairdryer in our room not working. Reported to Receptionist on our departure.

Beautiful, grand old hotel! Duck march is super fun!
The Peabody is in a beautiful building, it feels really grand and is well placed to walk down to Beale St. Room was lovely and bed was super comfortable! Loved all the duck touches... soap, chocolates, pictures! Seeing the Peabody duck march was super fun to watch... just be warned at weekends it is very popular and to get a front row seat you need to be there at least an hour beforehand!
The only thing we would say is our bathroom was a little on the small side and the space for the toilet was tiny, but that was probably as we were a corner room.

strengths and weaknesses
I love the history and the rooftop party. Thursday night was awesome.Most of the staff was good..
The concierge was not helpful at all. He made me feel stupid for not knowing a phone number of a tour company. After driving for hours, we sat in the bar and had some food from the peabody deli. And we're told after we paid our bar bill, that we can't have food in the bar area that we bought from the Peabody Cafe, because they need to sell more booze. That was very off putting on first night. We saw other people eating in there. It's really not that big of a deal...I didn't think. By the way, we were drinking their expensive wine with our croissants. That we bought. The housekeepers were great. The staff were friendly, some of the security were very friendly. The parking manager Hunter was great to talk to and ran off a loiter and talked to us about the area In a friendly manner. We loved the family fun time of the Duck March. And all the excitement. I also talked to your HR director, Karen. She was very friendly, nice and informative.

Walking in Memphis
Great Location with walking access to area restaurants and bars.Grand Lobby was outstanding. Music history, Graceland, and Museums were great attractions.
Half of a mile from the hotel is sadly depressed with vacant lots and empty buildings. Some sidewalks littered with broken glass and broken concrete. City leaders should take a better role in getting the area cleaned up.

Short visit to Memphis, would definately recommend The Peabody Hotel
The lobby is amazing. Very regal and old world. The duck parade is a must! Our room was lovely but it’s getting a bit old. Needs a little update. Other than that we enjoyed our stay at the Peabody Hotel.
We loved the hotel but our room was in need of a slight upgrade
