Absolutely beautiful place. The lobby is incredible. The bar drinks are well crafted. The service is attentive and kind no matter early morning or late night. The pastries were fresh and delicious. And the DUCK MARCH!!! Loved our time visiting The Peabody. So much so we're considering staying in the future. read more

Peabody's Mother's Day Experience was fantastic. From appetizers to deserts, you could not be disappointed. Everything from seafood (Jumbo Shrimp) and Sushi to wonderfully grilled pork belly and biscuits and gravy was available. Then the prime rib and lamb and steak would be second course. Desert from Bread pudding and Ice cream sundaes to chocolate covered strawberries. Dining with live music and fabulous attendants. A special treat for wife and daughter. read more

This was a 3.5 star stay. We rolled in on a Saturday around 6pm. Didn't know where to pull up the car and ended up on the wrong side of the hotel. Once we found the valet--super long line of cars--it was clear it would be easier to self park so we did, no problems there as Husband had smartly gone inside and checked in already (used room key for parking entry.) Surprised at how enormous this place is between the hotel and parking lot. Everything was loud and kinda chaotic, downtown, the lobby, everything. Not my favorite vibe, also not the hotel's fault. We ate at Capriccio Grill. Food was very good (loved the Butter Board!) but the restaurant itself had that feel of a place where they serve breakfast lunch and dinner in a busy hotel 24/7 so no ambience to speak of. I would love to try the French place, Chez Philippe, when/if we return. Stopped by the bar for a to-go drink and it was long enough to note that the famous chocolate mousse duck was $13 on the menu but we had just been charged $18 at the deli for one to go. Made me feel less like a guest and more like a tourist being taken advantage of. It looked good but definitely wasn't some amazing dessert for that price. The room itself was quiet from the hotel side, despite being right next to the elevators, but there was an event at Autozone Park and a band was playing right outside our 9th floor window for most of our one night stay (until 10pm, started up again at 8am on Sunday.) Also not the hotel's fault but just one more unfortunate occurrence. The room was huge and comfy, loved the Nespresso machine. The bathroom on the other hand was tiny, but fine for one night. Super clean. We didn't see the ducks but I was enchanted by all the duck touches everywhere, from the duck-shaped soap to the duck-shaped single ice cube in Husband's old fashioned to the duck embroidery on one of the pillows and more. Good for them to lean into the duck tradition! Without exception, every employee was very nice and helpful. I would give this hotel another try knowing what I know now because I think it has the potential be a much better experience. read more

US presidents & General Robert E Leee stayed here. Now at 11:00 AM we line up to see the Peabody ducks take a ride in the elevator from their rooftop home to the lobby, waddle across the red carpet & hop into the fountain until 5:00 when they move up the elevator to the the rooftop to the music of John Philip Sousa. We got to the lobby bar at 4:15 and we were able to get a seat at the reserved duck master table. Steps & a red carpet are coming down and the ducks will pass in front of us on the way out of the fountain at 5 o'clock. By 4:30 they had the lobby bar roped off with people standing behind the ropes and on the second floor. read more

What a terrific hotel. A room was spotless and super clean; staff is great and the service here is exceptional, as a short 2-night stay left a terrific impression and really was a nice stay, pretty much flawless. Room is well appointed and modern, borderline high-end feel. Do not get the low reviews, but for this traveler, couldn't ask for anything more or complain about something lacking. read more

Right the heart of Memphis and has the famous duck walk! You can actually see the duck walk at the second floor but if you want pictures up close as they come out the elevators, then come early (an hour or more before) to get a good seat. Otherwise, you can just wait until all the busy entry is done and take pictures of the ducks as they enjoy their time at the fountain. We ate at the restaurant near the lobby and it was great food and quiet. Very different from the lobby restaurant where we couldn't even hear each other. Overall a good experience and worth a try if you're in Memphis. read more

Lovely historic property and very friendly staff, but one reason I chose this place was due to the athletic club and needing great workouts. It is not disclosed that it is under renovation. The temporary spot is completely unacceptable. When hotels of this calibre usually have these renovations, they provide a day pass to an equal quality gym nearby. read more

We chose this property based on its history, reviews and location to other events we were planning to do while in Memphis. This is a great property with a eclectic ambiance. A lot of people k are familiar with this Hotel for its famous " Duck March" ( no spoilers here, you'll have to experience it for yourself). The Hotel has a luxurious feel, and staff at all levels are attentive, friendly and focused on delivering an upscale service experience. The lobby is vibrant, with a nice bar, and plenty of comfortable casual seating. A pianist plays throughout the day, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. The rooms are very nicely appointed, with very comfortable beds, and ample room not to feel cramped. The Hotel has a restaurant, coffee and pastry shop, as well as a lounge where you could relax or watch a sporting event on TV, as well as a few other retail stores throughout. There are also some walkable restaurants close by, so recommend checking them out. We would definitely make this our first choice if we are back in Memphis, and highly recommend it. read more

Cool hotel especially lobby area but the room is outdated and needs renovation. They did a great job with cleanliness, bathroom fixtures shined.

Nice staff, classy, met the duck master, got to roll out the red carpet. I had a great time.

Everybody seems very nice. The customer service is great. We valet parked the car for $37 a night. This room cost us around $300 for the night, and it was tiny. They offered us an upgrade for $90 a night. We declined it. However, the bathroom in the room we did get was so small that I could not sit on the toilet straight. The sink is so close to the toilet there's no way to sit properly. Also, I did not take a picture of it because it was kind of gross, but I had to clean the toilet when we got in the room because there was pubic hairs on the toilet. Second sidenote, don't think you're going to be able to poop in this bathroom. There's no fan. The positives of this hotel is that the lobby looks beautiful and everyone we spoke to was very nice. The valet was great, read more

I spent 4 nights at the Peabody while in town for business, and I was impressed with the hospitality from every department--front desk, the lobby cocktail servers, housekeeping, and banquets staff. I felt right at home in my quaint Executive Queen on the 9th floor with views of the baseball park. The rooms are a little small when compared to modern day accommodations, but I love the cozy feeling of old-timey hotels. The extra service at the Peabody puts this stay above the rest with daily housekeeping and nightly turndown service. I was so grateful to sneak away to my room between meeting sessions to find a clean and fresh bed to relax. Also, every evening the comfortable waffle robe and a couple chocolates were waiting for me to unwind and fall asleep. The beds and pillows were surprisingly comfortable--a rare occurrence in a hotel. If I am ever visiting Memphis again, I will only stay at The Peabody. The luxury accommodations are surprising considering the price point. Plus, the location is walkable to Beale Street, several foodie hot spots, and the River Walk along the Mississippi. There really is not another option in Downtown Memphis. read more

While we did not stay here overnight, a visit to the Peabody in Memphis is a MUST! We opted to partake in the nightly "Duck March" and my daughter and I (along with all other kids in attendance) were given the opportunity to sit front-row on the red carpet to watch. Come early to get a good spot and stay afterwards for a photo opportunity with the Duckmaster. You can also take the elevator up to the roof to view the "Duck Palace" to see where the ducks live (and catch some great photos of Memphis from the top). Tip: The Duck March occurs daily at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to snag a good spot in the lobby near the fountain and elevators. You do not need to be a guest at the hotel to watch. read more

You can't visit Memphis and not at least going to the Peabody Hotel to see their daily Duck March. We learned some history of the hotel. The ducks are really cute. read more

OK, we missed the duck walk. Not sure if seeing ducks walk by is really something I'm interested in, but I will tell you this. We worked to get to the bar at the Peabody twice in our two nights that we were in town. It's a great room to visit in the service was extra special and the cocktails tasted great. We strongly suspect the hotel is as fantastic as the bar, but we don't know for sure. So if you're within about five blocks of this establishment and the thirst gets the best of you this is a very worthwhile for you to consider for cocktails. Heck, you could even see what time the duck walk is and watch that if you're interested. read more

I came here for the same reason that most people do: it's a hotel that has fucking ducks. I did notice, after a few minutes of marveling at the ducks, that the bar area looked like a cool area even without the ducks. We tested it out, without the ducks, because we arrived just after they were brought to their penthouse upstairs and the fountain was duckless. Right around duck time, it was very crowded and there were pretty much no seats to be had in the place. We got lucky and a couple just got up from their seats at the bar so we were able to swoop in and keep those chairs from returning to room temperature. Service was great, we were asked within a few minutes of arriving what we would like to order. We were then asked a few minutes later if we were being helped. The cocktail menu is some upper crust shit. With upper crust prices. Think, circa 2019 NYC bar prices. I tried something with jalapeño and tequila, if memory serves. GF ordered something berry-esque. My drink was no joke. They did not water this shit down at all. They gave a full pour. They were not messing around and you could taste it. I don't like to taste my alcohol so this wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been but it certainly was a grown up drink for grown ups. Maybe they are kindly ensuring we get our money's worth. I tried GF's drink which I preferred however it was similarly strong tasting. The ambiance is delightful. It is a really special place. If you are in a bougie mood or want to do something to celebrate/special occasion, or honestly just to see ducks in a hotel, you can't go wrong coming here. read more

We had been to the Peabody once before, but never for brunch. When I found out that they had a Mother's Day brunch buffet I was very excited. And I wasn't let down at all. The building itself is historic and features excellent architecture and design elements. On Mother's Day the world-famous Peabody ducks were frolicking in the fountain. Cute! When we checked in for brunch, we were escorted to a staging area as they prepared our table. In the staging area they had tea, coffee, and water waiting for us. Additionally, a complementary photo was taken and provided. This was a great touch as most places charge an arm-and-leg for a photo. The dining room was very well appointed, and there was plenty of space in between the tables. Now to the most important part, the food! It was excellent and included an abundance of options. The different food stations lined almost the entire mezzanine. There was a wide selection of salads, fruits, and vegetables. As well as seafood, sushi and a variety of pork, chicken and beef. Additionally, brunch wouldn't be brunch without a wide selection of breakfast items and a homemade omelette station. And if you've ever seen a picture of me, you know that I like desserts. The desserts were excellent, beautiful, tasty and there was an extremely wide selection. And it doesn't matter if you're a vegan, vegetarian, or an outright carnivore like myself - there was plenty of options for everyone. read more

This place is all about the ducks right? Lol. Well, the show is all well worth seeing. If anything, just for all the history they tell you about the hotel and the duck tradition. Certainly for Memphis, the hotel is pretty over the top in looks. As you look around, to think of what it took to build the place so many years ago. It's certainly been preserved beautifully. Second level of the lobby...be sure ans look around this area. They have plenty of original artifacts preserved and on display. Pretty neat to see it all... read more

Been coming to the Peabody long before yelp. Been a family tradition since before I was even born. My daddy's favorite hotel. His father is from Memphis & was always a favorite of our family. We have many great memories of this hotel, many weddings & family celebrations. We have always been fans of the Peabody's famous "duck parade" haha. Such a beautiful hotel with great history. A must visit. Bucket List worthy. We just recently had moi family birthday lunch here like the good o'l days. It was so much fun. It could not have been more perfect. Brought back all kinds of memories of when dad used to bring us here when we were kids ohmygosh. Just wonderful memories. Legend. accommodations, 5 stars. service, 5 stars. Celebratory lunch's/brunches, 5 stars. happy hour, on the duck parade, with baby ducks in your cocktails, 5 stars. Family tradition for 3 generations. Priceless. Highest Recommendations. read more

When you're in Memphis and your girl wants to go watch ducks walk through a hotel lobby, what do you do? You go watch ducks walk through a hotel lobby... Pro-Tip, skip the crowds waiting by the elevator door and grab a seat at the bar, you can see everything and have a cocktail in a comfortable chair. People start lining up for this pretty early and they have a whole ceremony with a Duckmaster who tells the origin story before introducing the ducks. That said, this is LITERALLY some ducks, walking 30' down a red carpet, and jumping into the hotel fountain. They don't do tricks, or meet and greet you, they are ducks. I am glad I can say I have done it but the cute factor wears off quickly. read more

I first traveled to Memphis over 32 years ago and then moved there, and lived there for 26 years. On my first visit I stayed at The Peabody and have been there many times since, but just never got around to a review here. Let me tell you about The Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee. This historic luxury hotel, known as the "South's Grand Hotel," has been a fixture in downtown Memphis since its opening in 1869. The Peabody is famous for its elegance, charm, and rich history, as well as its unique tradition of the Peabody Ducks. The original Peabody Hotel was built by Robert Campbell Brinkley and named after his friend, George Peabody, for his contributions to the South. The hotel quickly became a success, attracting numerous notable guests, including Presidents Andrew Johnson and William McKinley. Over the years, The Peabody underwent several redesigns and enhancements, maintaining its historical essence while adapting to modern luxuries. But my favorite thing here are the ducks!! Twice every day, a smiling audience gathers at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee to see six local celebrities: the Peabody Ducks and the head duckmaster. Indeed, one of the most iconic features of The Peabody is the daily March of the Peabody Ducks. Since 1933, ducks have been trained to march through the hotel lobby and swim in the ornate fountain, a tradition that continues to delight guests and visitors today. The Peabody Ducks live in the "Duck Palace" on the hotel roof and are led by the head Duckmaster, currently Kenon Walker. Each duck serves a 3-month term. Two weeks before their tenure ends, a local farm the Peabody has worked with since 1981 delivers six new rookies to train how to march, use an elevator, andswim in a fountain. Six, so there is a backup duck, because chances are that one of the ducks won't take to the whole march-in-front-of-lots-of-people thing. But while the faces may change, you can be sure that every day, ducks will march proudly in and out of the lobby of the Peabody Hotel. The Peabody offers a variety of elegant guest rooms and suites, ranging from sophisticated options in The Loft at The Peabody to the two-story Romeo and Juliet suites with a unique spiral staircase. The hotel features numerous amenities, including fine dining options, a spa, a fitness center, and over 80,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Bottom line: The Peabody Hotel is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling to Memphis, whether for business or leisure. Its rich history, luxurious accommodations, and commitment to providing exceptional service make it a standout choice for those seeking an unforgettable experience in the heart of the city.

I finally got to check out The Peabody Hotel in Memphis! I've stayed here a couple of times and honestly loved every minute of it. If you like traditional, old-school hotels with much character and charm, this is the place for you. The interior has that classic, sophisticated look with beautiful furnishings, and the outside is just as impressive. On my most recent visit, I booked a king room but ended up with two queen beds instead--turned out to be better than expected! The room was a good size with an amazing view and was super comfortable too. The amenities in the room were top shelf--everything you'd expect from a high-end hotel. The service here really stood out. When I went downstairs for a quick bite, the sandwich shop was already closed. I pressed my nose against the glass and knocked on the door, and the young man closing down the counter actually offered to make me something anyway! He hooked me up with the biggest, most delicious sandwich ever, plus chips and a soda. So grateful for that random act of kindness--I won't forget it and have passed it on. I was disappointed to miss seeing those famous ducks (definitely check when they do their march). I did enjoy exploring and trying to spot places from The Firm movie that was filmed here. Next time I won't miss going up to the rooftop like in that famous scene from the movie--I totally missed that opportunity. If you enjoy people-watching with a nice glass of Chardonnay in hand, the lobby bar is perfect for you. (smile) Pro Tips: * Book ahead for better prices. * Try to visit during off-holiday times for better rates (though I hear the holiday decorations are gorgeous). * Works great for solo travelers or families. * Ask the concierge about the duck schedule (usually 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.). * Use their parking garage--it's worth it. * Easy walking distance to Beale Street and other spots. * The gift shop has nice stuff but is sort of expensive. * Solid WiFi throughout. * Check out their website for restaurant info. One Downside: The front desk attendants were disorganized and lacked basic customer service. I expected better from a hotel of this caliber. Overall, though, The Peabody is more than just a hotel--it's a Memphis must-do with tons of character and style without being too stuffy. Enjoy my hotel enthusiast, live in the moment! read more

Memphis, Tn. I used to stay at this hotel in 1968 when it was an absolute dump. It is now quite the opposite, a show of opulence and glitz. It is quite the spectacle and it is fun walking around checking things out. There is quite the buzz of activity at all hours. You have to pay for parking, and it's not cheap. It is also quite a walk from the garage to the hotel if you're pulling a roller bag. There are some confusing routes to try to get to the hotel lobby that are not well marked. If you haven't checked in, the elevators are locked because you need your room key. When checking in we were told that they don't guarantee any bed arrangements and a single king was no longer available but two doubles is what we were assigned. Fine, let me just get to the room, I gotta pee. The room had no refrigerator which I need for storing my medication. I had to improvise with ice. The shower was the old tub spout arrangement with a curtain. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were too big. The elevators are too slow and always crowded. The scanner for your room key is not always responsive. There is a real big deal with a lot of pomp and hype about these ducks that leave the fountain in the evening and walk a red carpet to an elevator where they ride up to their quarters. I guess it's cute or something because a lot of people vie for front seats and crowd the balcony to watch this. The long winded but ornately dressed MC drew the ceremony out for a painfully long time, but they did sell a lot of drinks during this yawner of a spectacle. When leaving the parking structure there is no clear instruction on where to scan your room key to activate the gate arm. First you have to remind the check out clerk you need your key to leave the parking structure. Then there is a small sign that says "Put key here". This is where you actually scan your key, not at the main parking machine kiosk. There may be a place to leave your key but I didn't see it. read more

I have been visiting The Peabody since I was a child because it was my grandma's favorite brunch. However, I had never stayed and decided on this trip to stop in and stay the night. Booked the room online on their site and selected one of their specials ($199/night which included self parking, holiday ornament, free hot chocolate, resort fee waived). When pulling up, the letter "B" was out on the sign, so it read "The Pea_ody." Drove around the building and found the self-parking. Get ready, because it is a hike to the lobby from the garage. You will twist and turn, go up and down ramps before you finally find the lobby. Check-in was smooth and headed up to the room. Room was on the small side; bathroom was on the very small side. Room was clean, but seemed dated. The most disappointing part of the room, was when I opened the curtains and found the sheers had been shredded. Yikes. Those need to be replaced. In the morning, there was a long wait at the elevators (many people waiting to attend conference). I, of course, went to the roof top to visit the ducks (they were hiding in their little house). I had a great time at the lobby bar which was hopping on a Friday night (will write separate review). Overall, bed was comfortable and I slept well. But, rooms and elevators are in need of upgrades. read more
