Peabody Memphis

私はそれを愛しましたすべてが完璧でした

Great hotel comfy beds service excellent Right in the heart of everything

Great location, easy walk to Beale Street. Room was very clean. Duck Parade is a must. Will definitely stay here again.

On a holiday trip down south I had no doubt where we would be staying in Memphis; The Peabody Hotel is one of the most historic hostelries in the United States. Originally opened in 1869 and rebuilt and refurbished a number of times since, it is a Memphis icon and anyone who is anyone has stayed here while in town including seven Presidents, dozens of rock and roll and blues singers, Hollywood actors by the score and even Margaret Thatcher. It played a pivotal role in John Grisham's breakout novel The Firm and Tom Cruise and Gene Hackman stayed here while making the film. Aside from the glitterati who have made The Peadody their Memphis home, it is even more famous for its legendary ducks who twice a day make their way from their rooftop palace to the fountain that is in the middle of the vast lobby. Led by the Duckmaster it is a very odd spectacle that as dumb as it sounds, is something I’ve always wanted to see. Arriving at The Peabody you can’t help but be impressed by the massive lobby with bars, restaurants and shops running off to the sides. In two days I was still discovering new places including a run in with Jack Daniel at the Corner Bar which receives an annual special edition bourbon made especially for this bar. You'll also find the Lansky Bros. clothing store here. Although not originally at this location, it was from the Lansky's that Elvis bought his regular clothes, along with Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash. Since then it has used the motto ' Dress like a Rock Star' and countless others from Carlos Santana to Drake have followed in the Memphis singers' footsteps. Who knows who you might run into here? Coming here during the holiday season is quite special with a giant, and I mean giant, Christmas tree on one side of the lobby. There's also a substantial Christmas village featuring Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory which had to have a permanent guardian to prevent the little children from starting to eat parts of it. The Peabody offers free coffee to its guests in the pastry shop which I'm sure is a great loss leader as the pastries on offer are almost irresistible - white chocolate duck anyone? The duck theme continues to the rooms which have super comfortable linens and pillows and mini-bars of soap in the shape of a duck. All told there was nothing I would change about our stay at The Peabody, it lived up to our expectations in every respect and given the time of year was not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. And yes we got to see the ducks march in from the balcony on the mezzanine.

Well situated. Friendly staff. Very well presented establishment. A 3 hour long ‘ happy hour’ from 16:00-1900 is great value. Restaurant was better quality food and choice than most we have experienced in our 2 week stay in the states., if a little more pricey, but we were happy. My only problem was the parking fees. We used our car during our stay. Therefore , we had to pay each day to get out of the car park using the ticket issued as we entered the car park. Just under $30/24hrperiod. On checking out . The lady who booked our stay was given a bill of additional costs by the hotel. Drinks, taxes ( the Americans love to tax) and parking charges. The parking charges were for 2 days at $29.86 / day. Which she promptly paid. My problem is, the hotel issued us with the parking charge bill for 2 days which we paid upon checkout. But we still had to pay again to leave the car park after checkout. Now we are getting refunded, but this seems a backward/ overly complicated system / barefaced scam.

The pleasant and efficient staff and the overall superb beauty and comfort of this place make even an overnight a great experience. The self-parking was easy to navigate and the hotel is in walking distance of many attractions.

Everything you would expect in a luxury hotel. The whole staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. If I am ever back in Memphis I will 100% be staying at the Peabody! apparently reviews have to be 200 characters so I am still typing... lol

If this wasn’t The Peabody, you’d be totally disappointed - tiny room and bathroom, shower didn’t drain or stay hot. Room service remnants on the floor outside room upon check in, and still there two days later. Worst of all, roach leg and French fry on our floor upon check in and still there two days later upon check out. Reported them 3 times to front desk.

I’ve been to see the ducks before in the past and always dreamed of staying here. My husband and I decided to come to Memphis and stay here for mini Easter/Anniversary weekend. Beautiful room. Loved sitting in the hotel lobby watching the ducks swim in the fountain and then their march to their rooftop palace. Ended the trip with a fabulous champagne Easter brunch. Only negative was the drag racing outside Union Street keeping us awake Friday/Saturday nights. Finally at midnight my husband went downstairs to find out what was going on and learned this is a regular occurrence on the weekends. It finally stopped around 2 am. Otherwise it was a great mini getaway.
