Great place to enjoy downtown Memphis. The nostalgia of the Peabody is very special. Facility is well managed and the people are incredible.
LATE NIGHT EATS: If you are looking for a food option after all the Peabody restaurants are shut down there is a great restaurant/bar across the street called Kooky Canuck that is open until 2:30a.
Memphis TravelJanuary 26, 2012If you want to enjoy a spot of tea, look no further. Experience a 3-course tea service Wednesday-Saturday from 2 to 3:30 p.m at the South's Grand Hotel. Reservations are mandatory. 901-529-4188.
Jamie IacobucciSeptember 17, 2017Such a classic hotel! The lobby is beautiful. The shops, eateries and restaurants in the hotel are top notch. Don't forget to watch the ducks walk at 11am & 5pm. Get there early...it gets crowded!
TulaniSeptember 7, 2014Classic Old Southern Hospitality at the highest level. Ducks parade into the lobby daily. Great lobby bar. Beautiful suites. Wonderful downtown location.
mary pinsonAugust 30, 2014if you want a good seat for the 11am duck march to the fountain, get to the lobby around 10 and have a mimosa or three while you wait.- Dory MacielJune 4, 2013Loved this hotel! Great meeting place with friends, bar drinks were great, Brighton bags in gift shop, and the duck march ... Favorite Memphis spot!
Laura RoggSeptember 6, 2016Very fancy looking hotel. If you're going to watch the duck March, get there about an hour before it starts to get a good spot to watch the action.
Get there early to watch the ducks march!! Then enjoy drinks on the rooftop afterwards!- Don't forget to watch the duck parade every day around 4-5.
Otel.comApril 24, 2012Lots of dining options are available here, and the ones you shouldn't miss are the Chez Philippe (French) and the Memphos Blues Brunch (happening every Sunday).
Judith RooskenJanuary 31, 2017Go to the rooftop and enjoy the sunset. And the Duck house, of course.
The lobby bar is a great place to relax for a drink! If you're up early enough, watch the ducks make their way to the fountain!
BeckyAugust 14, 2012get drinks in the grand lobby and people watch. a great place to sketch - the lobby ceiling is really beautiful and there are always interesting characters here.
Joe😎 PetersonFebruary 18, 2014Take the tour with Doug, the Duckmaster! Well worth the price and time. Lots of history and stories in this hotel...
Leila Da Rocha SantosSeptember 4, 2016We just pass around the main hall !! Nothing special !Just a little bit curious because of the fame!The ducks was there in the fountain! Looks like "Ok just some ducks having fun and taking a shower!"
- Dory MacielMay 24, 2013Watched the duck march and had a great mint Julep! Wonderful atmosphere, shops, food and drinks!!!
S PMarch 31, 2016Nicely located downtown, traditional with very good service and probably best hotel in town.
Memphis TigersJuly 26, 2011Located in the heart of downtown Memphis and famously known for the "Peabody Ducks," the Peabody Hotel was built in 1869 by Robert Campbell Brinkley. It is named after George Peabody.
April FletcherDecember 22, 2015Everything is an amazing from the restaurants and rooms to the rooftop parties and the ducks.
Head up to the roof at night for a phenomenal view and to visit the ducks in their penthouse!
Watch the ducks march in and out of the pond. Show up 15 minutes early for optimal viewing and to get a mint julep at the bar.
Kate GibsonJanuary 1, 2013Worth getting there early to see the ducks as the area around the fountain fills up quickly!
Duck march is not to be missed. The rooftop is not to be missed either with it's great views.
Steve SchoenlyJune 5, 2016Wonderful stay...fun with the ducks, very comfortable and great service...absolutely perfect.
Bella FlorenceFebruary 21, 2012The duck march is so cute! And make sure you go to the Italian steakhouse and try the pasta with meat sauce!
Chef Stacy LaRocheApril 17, 2012You must be seated if you are in the lobby rather than standing behind the stanchions among the red carpet, seats fill up fast.
Gloria ElizabethOctober 11, 2014Check out the views from the skyway. (Sneak into the ballroom to practice the dirty dancing lift)
Stacie VotawMarch 2, 2011Of course the ducks are worth a trip. But, the architecture and detailed appointment of this grand old downtown hotel is worth a visit all on its own.
weird place. A duck craps on the floor and nobody cares but I fart on the elevator and everyone is all offended.
Yaeka KatsutaSeptember 26, 2014Be sure to visit the roof and check out the duckies digs and the great view of the city.
Andrea LeTardApril 4, 2011If anything, stop here for a cocktail. People watching is great, and the atmosphere will make you feel fancy and fabulous.
Staci NevesJuly 15, 2010Rooftop party on Thursday nights; Definitely stay the night in one of their great rooms and have a drink in the lobby bar! Awesome service!
Bri JonesMay 2, 2012The luxurious Peabody hotel known for the marching Peabody ducks. It is a very nice hotel to stay in.
If you go to see the duck march, grab a standing spot on the Mezzanine - the view is great, and it's less crowded.
Dianne HocutSeptember 29, 2014Must have drinks at the bar. You meet all sorts of interesting people!
Check out the swastikas and German iron crosses they left in the tile inside the Memorabilia Room on the Mezzanine Level. A tribute to Nazi Germany?
If you want to see the Peabody Duck March, get there early!
- mary pinsonAugust 30, 2014visit the duck palace on the roof, but be aware there are no coverings and no chairs.
Larry BryantDecember 7, 2015Very nice hotel, but was only there for a Christmas Gala. Had a great time.
Ron ShankMarch 8, 2015Keep your parking garage ticket with you. You have to swipe it before you go back to your car. Very odd and confusing.
Good people watching while sitting at the lobby lounge area.
