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 Peabody is truly one of a kind. If you are passing through Memphis you must stay here. A 125 year old national treasure.

The Peabody hotel is the Grand Hotel of the south. Beautiful lobby and the daily duck march is worth the visit.

I was here 20 years ago and it looks like not much has been done to the place. It’s sad to see - the carpets in the corridors to the bedrooms are never clean, the fittings in the bathroom are falling off and service from the front desk is inconsistent.
