  • I knew I wanted to see the Duck March after reading the Patricia Polacco book. It was even better than I expected! The Duck Master was very interesting and entertaining! And, the hotel is gorgeous!

  • This hotel is beautiful! The rooms were clean and updated. I love the motion sensor lights under the bed, so nice when you get up in the middle of the night. The staff was very nice. We didn’t get to see the duck march due to time constraints, but hopefully we can go back again and see them. The parking is great and there are a few really good places to eat nearby. I was concerned about the area when I reserved the room, but it ended up being okay. No different than any other downtown hotel. I would stay here over the Guest House at Graceland, Peabody was a million times nicer in my opinion.
  • Our stay at the Peabody was great and really contributed to the overall quality of our vacation. The hotel is perfectly located near anything you could want to do downtown and is within walking distance of Beale St, Rendezvous, the FedEx forum arena, and more. All of the staff were extremely friendly and it's obvious that service is at the forefront at the Peabody. Parking was easy, plenty of spots in the garage, easy to get in and out. Both the Lobby Bar and the Corner Bar were unique and enjoyable. The March of the Peabody Ducks was so good we watched 3 times. The spa at the hotel is fantastic. The hotel is on the National Historic Register and has done a great job of updating while preserving the historical feel and keeping the hotel's history on the forefront. If there was one improvement I could make, it would be to update the mattresses, sheets, pillows, and towels. Those items just didn't seem to be of the same high quality as everything else in the hotel and would help it keep an up to date feel. If ever back in Memphis, I would absolutely stay at the Peabody again and would recommend it to friends and family.
