You are not just staying in a hotel. You are visiting a piece of history. Even if you don't stay there, visit the bar area. This is where the famed ducks swim in their little pond. Every morning and evening the ducks are brought down from, and returned to, their rooftop penthouse. This is like a hollywood red carpet event.... More

We had a blast going to see the duck parade which takes place at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily. GO EARLY (about an hour before the event) to get a good place along the red carpet to get good pictures. This is a beautiful hotel to just visit if you are not staying there. The ornate decor dates way... More

I was visiting from out of state and had seen on television about the famous ducks that go to the fountain at 11:00 a.m. everyday and at 4:00 p.m. walk down the red carpet and on the elevator to the top of the hotel. I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. So neat! The hotel... More

It was fun to experience the Peabody Ducks on parade. The actual hotel was beautiful to poke around in. My adult son wasn't enthralled, but it was a free little stop that is worth working your way into your schedule. More
