This hotel is the prime example of a brand name that's slowly failing to live up to the hype of being a premier hotel. Case in point, my recent stay shows there are sad slips that all add up to a less than anticipated experience. I check in and I'm offered an "upgrade" to a suite. The front desk agent... More

We just stayed one night on our way to another location. The hotel is top notch, comfortable, beautiful and you can't beat the location. It is expensive, but it is worth it! I accidently left my spare key with the valet and they were very helpful making arrangements to return it to me. I don't have a bad thing to... More

The location was good. The lobby was very nice & beautifully decorated coming into Christmas but unless ur a male or with a male, don't expect to get served at the bar in any good time. Was very disappointing the bar service since I was the woman with the money.

We stay one night at Peabody in Memphis. The hotel is located in a good position for visiting the city and enjoying the nightlife, but the street is noisy! The room is nice and clean, but is too small! Looking at the floor plan this room is the smallest, so ask which room you will get! Additionally the king size... More

Dear gimo2010, Thank you for telling us about your recent stay at The Peabody. Being a historic hotel built in the 1920s, many of our guest rooms have unique layouts and, indeed, some are smaller than others. However, I am confused by your comment about our beds, as mattress sizes run standard and our Double/Queen/King beds are the same measurements... More

The Peabody is the kind of hotel my Grandfather stayed in. At least that's what I'd like to think, spacious, well appointed, no detail overlooked. If you need to visit Memphis and have the cash to invest in a grand hotel stay at the Peabody and check in just before 5pm. The beds are very comfortable too.

The highlight of visiting this hotel for me was browsing the men's clothing store in the lobby. They have some incredible shirts in there. I ate a simple lunch and breakfast in the lobby restaurant but opted to have dinner at one of the restaurants outside the hotel. The rooms are comfortable but I felt the whole place was in... More

What a lovely hotel. Very elegant and comfortable lobby....loved the pianist. The room was small but clean. Great view from the rooftop with our $3 martini's on Tuesdays. We were lucky enough to get a glimpse of Boz Scaggs sitting in the lobby.

If you're going to stay in downtown Memphis, just stay at the Peabody Hotel. It is centrally located. The staff is very helpful and supportive. The restaurant and bar are great. And of course, there are the ducks. This was one of the most fun business trips I have ever had thanks to the Peabody Hotel. Not to be missed.
