Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.

Frommers review:

“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.

Forbes review:

“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).”

Great stay and would recommend The Peabody. My son and I were impressed with the old charm.

Atmosphere was great, enjoyed the Marching of the ducks. We were able to relax in the lobby and enjoy people watching. The floor was quiet and people respectful of others on the floor. Like the fact that room keys worked on just your location and the roof. The breakfast was delicious and a good start for our busy day.

Did not like the fact there was no refrigerator in room for my insulin since I am a diabetic. The staff tried to upgrade my son and I to a larger room which was not necessary since we spent limited time in our room.

Great hotel, great location! 99% of the staff was great.

There were blood or make-up stains on our shower curtain and a few of the towels. Whoever checked us in wasn't very nice. Just mechanical, not personable at all. We didn't even know our room came with a turn down service and I was so embarrassed when we came back after going to a baseball game and to dinner. I left clothes out and some personal belongings I would have much rather had hidden (put up and away) if I knew housekeeping came into the room. Whoever was working along side of her was extremely pleasant! The rest of the staff was very friendly, respectful, and just nice to be around.

Sumptuous luxurious stay in this southern jewel .

Fabulous hotel . I just loved the decor in the lobby and the bedrooms . So comfortable and tasteful . I slept like a log every night . Chambermaids were first class as were the staff and valeting and everything else in general . It was a little bit expensive but then as it’s the US Southern equivalent of the Dorchester Hotel in London ( where I live ) then I guess it won’t be cheap .

Only the costs of some things but that’s all . I’d come again .

We recommend the Peabody Memphis for safety and cleanliness.

In the heart of downtown Memphis with access to restaurants, the Orpheum Theatre, the FedEx Forum, and Beale Street, the location is perfect. The staff, facilities, and Duck Master are top tier! Breakfast was great. Breakfast is not included with the room; however, there is room service for an extra fee. There's a lobby bar where my husband and I enjoyed a night cap. We always enjoy staying at the Peabody Memphis.

The taxes added to our stay were less than stellar. Expect to pay $80.00 in taxes in addition to your room fee. We were quoted $265 for 1 night and paid $345 total. Unfortunately, we heard there was a shooting a couple streets over when Sayso P was murdered in broad daylight the day of our arrival. It's still Memphis, so just make sure to keep yourself aware of your surroundings.

The Peabody has a wonderful "Old World" feel. It's all about being taken care of with the service being exceptional and the staff members friendly and willing to help when ever asked. The hotel lobby is charming and welcoming. The Duck March was, of course, a fun experience. The cocktails are absolutely delicious! The breakfast was wonderful. Free coffee in the deli was always hot and ready. We had Dinner for our anniversary in the Capriccio Grill. ( The bread board is worth a try)Tempatures on the steaks were dead on. The only negative was we were seated at a very small table in the middle of the restraunt being too busy to have a quite corner to enjoy conversation with our meal. Staff buzzing around both sides of us. Otherwise we had a lovely time and will be back.

A lovely experience and memory in every way.

The hotel is beautiful and elegant and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We were so glad that we took advantage of the offered upgrade at check-in. We were given a lovely, spacious room on an upper floor which we enjoyed very much. The lobby bar is a wonderful place from which to enjoy the famous and fun Duck Walk experience.

Our stay at the Peabody was the icing on the cake to a fantastic experience in Memphis.

Our stay was terrific! The location is perfect. We walked around both day and night and felt safe as we hopped from taverns to museums, to restaurants. Everyone at the Peabody was so friendly and accommodating. The duck ceremony was delightful, and the rooms were roomy with a makeup table, separate from the bathroom, and the most comfortable beds!

Beautiful hotel. Many small extra amenities. Wonderfully attentive staff. Great location. Old school elegance. We loved it.

The service in Chez Philippe, the hotel restaurant, was exquisite. However, considering the very steep price, we expected a better meal. The food was just average, on par with a mid range chain restaurant.

First time to Memphis and staying at the Peabody made it great!

Room was very clean and comfortable. We did not stay in it much, but it was still very nice! Bathroom was small but certainly okay. Location to Beale Street was fantastic!

Would have liked a continental breakfast. Check in experience was a bit confusing and the person didn't seem to be that experienced. One person in our party was over charged for parking but it was fixed quickly. I was billed 2 times for different costs (totals of the 2 were correct), but neither stated the details of the charges.

Excellent hotel with great comfort and history

The hotel was in a great location and the history of the hotel is incredible with lots of artefacts around the hotel. The lobby was stunning and very comfortable, i’ve never spent as much time in any other hotel lobby. Then to top it off the daily duck ceremony was amazing to see as well.

The corridors leading to the rooms were a bit dated looking but this is understandable due to the size of the hotel and also adds a bit of the historic character.

Great place to stay if you want to experience a piece of history!

Enjoyed our stay in this iconic hotel. We got a chance to witness the Mallard Duck parade. We also got a chance to see the rooftop where they filmed the movie, ‘The Firm.’ The bartender women at the main lobby weren’t not friendly at all. Zero customer service. That was disappointing.

A bit old. The bathroom was so tiny.

Hotel and staff were all amazing. The building is beautiful and caters for everyone's needs. Complimentary hot drinks until 10am were a bonus. The Duck March was great fun and The Duck Masters were really impressive 👏

Sadly the hotel was amazing but the location isn't great. Walking out at night didn't feel safe at all, we were warned several times by Uber/Lyfte drivers to be careful.
