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.

This was probably the most friendly and warm staff. Everyone from the Bellman to the Manager always smiled and greeted you as you approached.

The lobby & downstairs area is charming & impressive and all the hype over ducks gives a focal point for drinks at the bar . However as numerous reviews our experience at check in & customer service was extremely poor even rude. We were 2 ladies travelling together our room was a queen size bed & the most smallest bathroom. I went down to reception & requested a twin room which was sourly told the hotel was full so after I asked was told could try again tomorrow to see if a room available by a very uninterested Diamond On reception .. she certainly wasn’t, I contacted and sent pictures of room to our travel agent & that evening asked again & was told there was another room but the manner & care was total disinterest .. we moved rooms & on check out I said for future reference it would have been nice to have been asked were we happy with our new room .. another receptionist just looked at me .. & blankly smiled .. I think some training on customer service is in order. I would not recommend the hotel due to the room conditions & reception staff attitude. Read less

Problem fixed

The initial room that I had smelled like a mix of cigarettes and mold. The manager the next day fixed the issue and upgraded me to a bigger room. Overall, it is the Peabody and is a legendary hotel. They just need to live up to the expectations.
