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).”

It was lovely. Like stepping in to the past. A wonderful place to stay.
The sewing kit in the bathroom. Shower cap.
The fan on the air conditioning was on high. This could not be changed by the engineer. He was so good to come and try in the early hours of the morning.

We loved everything about our stay and would recommend it highly to anyone. Would love to come back again!
Loved it. The rooms were beautiful, the beds were amazingly comfortable. Loved the location, the milk and cookies that we had. Everything about it was fantastic.
The only thing we could say that was slightly negative was that you had to pay to have a fridge in the room.

We enjoyed it very much but got a little tired of the location---we had to drive everywhere!
The room was huge but the bathroom was too small and had very little space to put on make-up.
Bed linens were to thick and fluffy.

Very good
Loved the whole ducks experience, staff were lovely especially the staff who served us for dinner in Chez Phillippe for my husband's dinner on Oct 5th. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting the chef in the kitchen.
Our rooms aircon was awful. We found it freezing cold and once we worked out how it worked the biggest problem was the fan. The fan had only one speed High which was a very loud at night & blasted cold air all night. A pillow menu selection would be much better also as the pillows we has were too flat for our liking would of liked a firm option.,

We had a wonderful time! Highly recommend the Peabody Hotel!
The hotel with all of its history, amenities, delicious restaurants, architectural details, friendly and knowledgeable staff, comfortable rooms and of course The March of the ducks made it a perfect family getaway!

Hotel was awesome, staff was great.
Didn't have breakfast, just coffee and pastry from the deli
Front desk could have been a little more informative. We were told free coffee was available but not told where it was. We did eventually find it and we should have asked where.

No coffee maker or even a small fridge in room, shower pressure so so

Best hotel stay in Memphis. Don't miss out on this stay!
Bathroom was clean but very very small and tight. Everything at this hotel is superb. Don't miss out on having dinner at the in house restaurant. The cafe was amazing also. The duck parade was our highlight. What a lovely historical hotel! The shopping in the hotel was fabulous also, just a little on the expensive side.

Historic; comfortable; service took some of the shine off
Very comfortable bed, prime location, and a great atmosphere in the lobby. Plus the valet team were excellent.
On arrival we were informed that the central lobby area including the bar and the fountain were closed to hotel guests that day for a private event. Given that that’s heart and center of the hotel (literally and figuratively), I was unimpressed to have the closure sprung on us without warning, and equally unimpressed that when I objected the staff declined to do anything about it - not even so much as a complimentary drink.

Iconic and old style glamorous.
We loved staying at this Iconic Motel. We loved the location as it was a quick walk to Beale Street. We also loved watching the parade of ducks. There is a lovely bar area which was a great place to finish off the evening. The accommodation has restaurants and a cafe within the building. The rooms are a good size and the beds were super comfortable. If your staying in Memphis I highly recommend staying at the Peabody.
Could not fault the peabody.

Beautiful tradition, service and food. Comfy rooms would recommend
Traditional American classy establishment. Worth a visit to Memphis just to stay there :) it was our third time from the UK and we love the hotel.
Just a bit of a worry about crime in the area but felt very safe inside the hotel

Very good
The Hotel had a homely and historical feel. I felt like I was in an expensive London hotel. Loved the Duck march and watched more than once. Location was also good.
The bathroom was tiny and bit dated but it's an old hotel so I wasn't bothered it was kept clean and we even had a duck soap!

Loved the ducks and the duck March.
The property was a great location and historic however lots of steps which makes it difficult for the handicapped.
The parking garage was so far away. Carrying our luggage and all that walking made it difficult for both of us with our handicaps.

Wonderful hotel - an experience, not just a place to stay.
The Peabody is one of a kind - an experience as well as a top flight hotel. You must see the ducks parade! The building is ornate and beautiful. The room we had was excellent overall, clean and well appointed. The valet parking was extremely useful. And every staff person we spoke to was warm and helpful.
We struggled with the AC and the room temperature. In fairness it was 90 degrees both days during our stay. But the room was either too cold or too humid, and no matter how we set the thermostat we were alternately chilled and then sweaty at night. The windows don't open so we did the best we could - and the shower was wonderful, so it got more use than usual.

We will definitely recommend the Peabody to our friends!
The staff was welcoming, rooms well lit, bathroom was small but clean and supplied with all the needed toiletries, the room decor was tastefully modern and period. I love that the history of the hotel was on the TV as a selection! And of course we loved the Duck Parade!
The room telephone did not work well when I called the front desk for information. I could barely hear the front desk person's reply and guessed at her answer. Also the refrigerator that I requested prior to my check-in was not in the room and when it came it took a while to get cold. One of the legs of the refrigerator was missing but I was able to level it with a towel. Once it got cold it was good.

Beautiful old Hotel in the heart of Memphis.
Downtown, close to Beal St.

We enjoyed our stay and loved the ducks, good location to get to Beale st. Bar staff were slow and inattentive.
It was very elegant but facilities were obviously a bit worn and old.
Our bathroom was tiny and the toilet was quite revolting. Bed was comfy but again just a standard double. I know they can’t change the size of the rooms so can’t be helped.
