The hotel

Legend lives on at The Peabody, Memphis’s grandest address. Deep in the downtown district, it’s just blocks from the relics of rock ‘n’ roll and blues that made Memphis famous, including Beale Street, Gibson Guitar Factory, Sun Studio, and Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum. Its most famous residents arrived in 1933, when the General Manager put his hunting decoy ducks in the fountain after a tipple or two of Tennessee whiskey. In 1940, a circus trainer taught them to ‘march’ and they still perform twice a day for guests (needless to say, duck isn’t on the menu here). That’s not the only custom that lives on, there’s the Peabody Afternoon Tea, the extravagant Sunday Brunch, and the simple tradition of indulgence, with the 5 restaurants and bars, Grecian-style pool and whirlpool, summertime rooftop parties, and Feathers Spa.

The toilet is nearly touching the pole from the sink vanity so when sitting down it very uncomfortable. Did anyone bother to see if this would work for those of us that are not exactly petite? For the price I paid, it is not too much to ask for a working bathroom.

We really enjoyed the charm and atmosphere of the hotel! The kids loved the duck walk! I would love to see more security in the self park garage because our vehicle was victim to a hit and run and I’m still waiting for staff to view the camera footage.

We really enjoyed the charm and atmosphere of the hotel! The kids loved the duck walk! I would love to see more security in the self park garage because our vehicle was victim to a hit and run and I’m still waiting for staff to view the camera footage. It would also be awesome for a light breakfast to be included in with the hotel stay. We purchased muffins/bagel and drink from the deli/bakery and it was quite pricey. I would also love to see housekeeping use vacuums versus broom—several pieces of trash/crumbs on the carpet that could have been cleaned better. The bathroom also needed an exhaust fan to remove lots of steam from the shower and the drain in our shower was awful—like water covering my feet after a quick shower. It was reported to front desk but no change. Overall the hotel was great….but tweaking a few items could add so much for the stay! Read less

The service and the staff were the best we’ve had in a long time at hotel. The staff was very friendly and everyone seems to genuinely enjoy working there. There are plenty of things to do in and around the hotel. We didn’t have to go far for unique experiences! Truly enjoyed our stay!

The Peabody needs an Accessibility study, since they list the features of their bathrooms for handicapped individuals. We were given the roll in shower because I inquired about accessibility and the front desk clerk must have assumed wheelchair. She did not understand the questions to ask. So no grab bars.

The Peabody needs an Accessibility study, since they list the features of their bathrooms for handicapped individuals. We were given the roll in shower because I inquired about accessibility and the front desk clerk must have assumed wheelchair. She did not understand the questions to ask. So no grab bars. Also, there is no place to put soap, shampoo, etc. within the shower. Those items were by the sink on a shelf that could not be reached if you were in a wheelchair. How could this be safe unless you have an attendant helping? Read less
