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).”

A great hotel
A classic, old school hotel. Beautiful, good rooms, a comfy bed, attentive staff and our meal at Chez Philippe was superb.
The bathroom was quite tight. Rental fridges and microwaves: really?!

A trip back in time with comfortable elegance. Tx
A beautiful iconic hotel near the river and Beale street. The room was lovely and very comfortable. The reception staff was very friendly.
The bar staff in the bar and the lobby. I expected them to be more efficient and friendly.

My second stay and highly recommend.
I love the location. Close to attractions. The motel rooms are very nice and I love the duck decor. Enjoyed watching the ducks arrive to the fountain in the lobby. A must see. Used the spa for a massage. Very nice.
Have to pay for parking and is a walk to get to. Valet parking is available at an additional cost.

3 days in Memphis
The Duck parade twice a day is a super tradition. The hotel tour by the duck master is a must. A really great guy he is. Rooms were superb. Food was excellent. Staff were great. Highly recommend this as a place to stay in Memphis.
Not a lot not to like so no complaints from me. It was a real treat and a little unexpected too which was great.

A truly great experience, the ducks are just fantastic too.
We loved the whole ambiance, the room we had was beautiful and the service was first class.
We went to the corner bar for a drink and the girl behind the bar ignored us for 5 minutes, we left and went to the lobby bar.

Beautiful hotel to stay in and great central location to sight seeing by foot and activities in Memphis. The staff here are really lovely and the highlight is most certainly the Peabody ducks.
The bathroom could be a little more spacious

Wonderful experience.
Everything about the hotel was awesome.
The maintenance on the outside was a little annoying but I understand there’s no good time to do that.

Historical hotel I won’t forget.
This is a historic hotel in downtown Memphis. The bar is fabulous and the duck march so memorable. I’d recommend doing the hotel tour at 1130.
The dinner was expensive for what we got. The room was a little small.

Worth a visit for the history, rooms but more importantly the staff
The rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff at the hotel were lovely and made a real effort to make the stay special. It has an old world feel and I would recommend making time for the duck walk and cocktails.
We ordered room service and the food was warm not hot but tasted lovely.

Coming back, for sure.
Classy, historical hotel, unbelievable, comfortable beds and pillows. Of course loved the mallard duck "parade" and it's history. Location to Beale, Main Street and Riverwalk.
Hard to find valet parking entrance. Address not given (but found out it's the same as the self park address).

SCROLL UP AND READ AGAIN!!!
Upon arrival, the front desk informed us that our reservation thru Booking.com had been cancelled. They were able to accommodate us due to row occupancy, but this resulted in a double charge on our credit card. Called Booking.com, but after your review, the charge was not reversed. Peabody nor Booking.com accepts responsibility. We WILL NOT use EITHER Booking.com nor Peabody Hotel EVER AGAIN!!!

Loved the duck march.
Club level breakfast was great! The fruit was perfectly sweet. Omelette was delicious. Best thing was the staff and service! Everyone at the hotel was friendly, courteous and helpful.

Location, room size, comfort, duck parade.
Getting down in the lift just before 11am (one of the Duck Parade times) A small price but be aware if trying to get down to check out or see the parade.

Stunning and historical hotel. Loved the ducks.
Lovely hotel. The room was lovely and clean but the bathroom was small and shower not great. Added taxes raise the price too much. Why can't Americans include everything in the price?
Added taxes, small bathroom, shower not performing right.

A lot of ducks
A lot of duck themed things. The hotel was beautiful, very nicely designed. Great location and had a bakery/cafe etc in there and a nice bar. We didn’t try the restaurant as we were only there for one night and ate out on Beale street.
The parking directions weren’t too clear, google maps takes you a different way and it was a bit of a struggle to find out. I parked on the street while my husband went in and the staff were all super helpful to give us directions.

We love the Peabody
Location is great. Service is quietly perfect. Hotel is old school elegant without being over priced. Bed has variety of pillow types, which may sound minor but for someone who can't sleep comfortably on those big fat pillows it's major.
Restaurant is overpriced for the unexceptional food.

It was a once in a lifetime experience.
It is a magnificent building that has been meticulously maintained and has the unique duck walk and the beautiful carved fountain.
My room was lovely but the bathroom was so small I barely fit in it and I am a small person. A person of any size couldn't shut the door or get into the shower easily.

Beautiful, classy hotel that for us made staying in Memphis very special
Staff very friendly and helpful. Hotel is beautiful and we loved the Duckmaster. The hotel made our stay as Memphis was quiet that week. Really enjoyed drinking at the bar and in the lobby, nice atmosphere.
Pricey and might have expected a bit more for the money (e.g. breakfast).
10 March 2026
Slightly overpriced and living off a past grandure.
The Peabody is famous for its duck and thats what your paying for. Spacious rooms with everything you need. Attentive and well informed staff. Good location with a couple of attractions within walking distance.
The hotel is living off its reputation a bit as its getting a bit "tired". Valet parking is VERY expensive.

A great historic hotel!
The room was very clean. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable! The location of the Peabody is very close to several attractions in Memphis, places to eat and things to do. I've been to and stayed in Memphis several times, but this was my first stay at the Peabody. Everyone was very nice and made sure to take care of any and all of our needs.
The only thing that was awkward was figuring out where to park. I figured it out but took me a hot minute.

excellent hotel steeped in history, duck theme throughout, with great comfort and helpful staff
I loved this hotel, I (accidentally) hadn't booked breakfast included but the reception staff let me add on club level where we had access to drinks and snacks all day, breakfast, happy hour drinks and snacks 5 til 7... there is a restaurant (or 2) there any ways, but I like the browsing kind of breakfast where I can try everything ! The beds were fabulously comfy, lovely sheets, duck motifs everywhere, I loved it.. the hotel has so much history, the staff throughout the stay were great, nothing was too much trouble. The ducks marching from the rooftop down in the lift and out to the fountain were hilarious. I keep ducks and loved these 5.. and the ducks theme everywhere was lovely. I'll definitely go back :)
