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).”

We loved staying at the Peabody.
The location, and the march of the Peabody ducks. Also, serendipitously, an employee on the elevator invited me to the rooftop to see the ducks in their private quarters. That was AMAZING.
The main lobby got very crowded twice a day. As guests of the hotel, I feel we should’ve had our own viewing space, not open to the public.

Great time at the Peabody.
Service, location, ducks. Fun and friendly atmosphere. Excellent room service. Great concierge.
Parking was overly complicated. Difficult to find our way in and out of the parking lot because instructions were not clear. Even after phoning the hotel, I did not get clear instructions. Then elevator in the parking garage was not working.

Lovely preserved historic hotel beautifully decorated for Christmas. A real treat to stay there.
Beautifully decorated for Christmas. Comfortable and stunning lobby to sit and have a drink. Very cute room. The duck march. Great location. Convenient coffee shop/bakery for breakfast. Friendly staff.
The bathroom was a bit tight.

Grand Hotel
We lloved tge atmosphere ofca grand hotel. And of course the ducks.
No fresh milk just tge creamer for our coffee/tea. Creamers are filled with unpleasant additives with possible health issues. Surprised that such s grand hotel doesnt have fresh milk. My only gripe.

Historic Beauty
The Peabody is a BEAUTIFUL hotel! It was splendidly decorated for Christmas. The hotel staff were all very friendly and eager to help. Valet parking ($42) makes unloading and loading super easy and the parking garage makes it feel safe. The Duck Master did a great job at the 5pm duck parade and it was really nice that the kids were allowed to be in the front nearest to the red carpet. I did not use any of the facilities since we were only staying one night (plus I think the pool was closed for refurbishment due to flooding) but the drinks at the bar in the lobby looked fabulous and the restaurant inside smelled delicious! The beds were comfortable, not too soft or too hard. The duck theme throughout the room is a cute touch (duck soap, water bottles, embroidery, mirror, artwork, etc...) Getting to various places would be very easy because the location is ideal, however, I'd probably recommend walking from the hotel instead of driving as it looked like parking would be a nightmare. The hotel is full of history and it was a great experience overall.
The bathroom in our "superior suite", while it looks like it is updated in the pictures, it was not in very good condition. There was some mold in the shower and some of the tiles on the wall were broken. There was a lot of patch work in the doors and the wall. The lighting in the bathroom was also pretty poor. This should not be a deal breaker though because it is a one of a kind experience!

The beautiful hotel and fun atmosphere.
Even though the main lobby bar was fantastic with wonderful service and appears to be very well managed the smaller sports type bar on the corner is the opposite. We couldn’t get served at that bar and left.

My favorite hotel
It’s kept historic inside and it’s luxury quality.
Parking is a far walk and the eating options aren’t spectacular. The deli and casual restaurant need new menus and attract some visitors, even locals.

Great except for breakfast
Atmosphere was warm and inviting
Breakfast in the morning was a disappointment. Food was not hot and the quality of food and service was just so-so. Not what we expected after a superb meal in the Italian restaurant the night before.

Wonderful experience and would love to return!
We loved staying in a historic hotel with such great customer service!
The big rectangle manhole covers that are constantly being run over outside the window, kept us up all night long. We understand this is not a responsibility of the Peabody, but we feel like y’all have enough stroke to get the city on that shit!

Clean room, really nice common areas
Terrible service in Capriccio Grill: the “no reservations for breakfast” was a lie; we waited for omelets for 30 min. Swimming pool did not work, and the message about pool being closed due to “special service” was a lie too.

Always one of our favorites
The Peabody is always a fantastic stay!
My only complaint is that our room wasn’t ready at check in time. We waited almost an hour for our room and then I had to go back to the counter and ask. We’ve stayed many times and haven’t had that happen before so I’m not sure what happened there.
20 November 2025
Very good
The history of the hotel& it’s old world charm combined with a sense of luxury
Check in staff efficient but not at all welcoming. Staff at Italian restaurant unfocused, made mistakes with our order & then same happened again each morning at breakfast! They clearly are unhappy

Would recommend this hotel to anyone we know that goes to Memphis just as we HAD been told about it
Loved Everything about this property. Classy all the way. The Ducks were really Wonderful! Duck Master was Great! Nice shops, Good location
The only complaint would be, we had a late arrival because of airline The women was short with us and clearly ready to get off work at check in. It was loud with the music and hard to hear and understand what she was saying to us. Besides that we LOVED it!
