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.

Everything about the Peabody was charming and the food was stellar. The only negatives are 1--the noise. THis is an old hotel with big heavy doors and closing them quietly is somply not an option.

Everything about the Peabody was charming and the food was stellar. The only negatives are 1--the noise. THis is an old hotel with big heavy doors and closing them quietly is somply not an option. There is hallway noise that is not "fixable". The second was the cleanliness. When standing in the center of the room looking around, the room seemed clean. But looking behind dressers, back of the TV, vents in the bathroom revealed a different story. These surfaces were FILTHY. The type of dust and dirt accumulation that takes months and years to accumulate. Clearly our room would have benefited from a deep cleaning. Other than that the stay was great and despite the filth, I am only knocking off one star (that is how great everything else was) and we will be back. I would recommend a bluetooth speaker (our room had one) and playing "white noise" on youtube. Read less

Overall the history of the hotel is amazing to have learned. All staff were friendly and welcoming. The food was good, the French toast was amazing and very filling. The beds, OMG LOVE them, they are very comfortable. The duck wal was the cutest thing to have watched during my week stay there. I would definitely go back.
