The Peabody Memphis, Tennessee

A landmark property in downtown Memphis, the grand Peabody Memphis is one of the city’s most iconic hotels with a history dating back to the mid-19th century. 

Since opening its doors in 1869, The Peabody Memphis has earned a reputation for its elegant charm, grace and warm southern hospitality. Proudly featured on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel is also famed for its five resident Mallard ducks whose daily march to the lobby fountain has been a treasured tradition since 1940. The lobby is an attraction in itself, dubbed the “living room of Memphis” and admired for its high ceilings, gleaming marble walls and dazzling wooden chandeliers.  

Fine southern comfort food with a modern twist can be enjoyed in the excellent Peabody Restaurant, whilst the sumptuously furnished guestrooms are equipped with all the modern luxuries you’d expect. Other facilities include the fabulous Feathers Spa and impressive Athletic Club complete with a Grecian-style indoor pool and whirlpool spa.  

With its downtown location, guests have easy access to the attractions of the city, with Beale Street, Memphis Rock 'n Soul Museum, the National Civil Rights Museum and Sun Studio all just a couple of blocks away.
