A Mobil Four-Star hotel for 16 years running and a AAA 2000 Four Diamond award winner, The Peabody is one of the South's most famous hotels. Also on the National Register of Historic Places and a National Trust Historic Hotel, this 14-story Memphis landmark has been an institution in town for over 120 years. A social and business hub, the Peabody is the site of debutante balls and charitable events. The Peabody amenities and facilities are extensive. All guest rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art digital telephone systems and modern connections. Photo copies, faxing, printing, or computer capabilities are available in the Business Center. Choose from four on-site restaurants, ranging from deli style to fine dining at Chez Philippe, a four-star restaurant. Enjoy a swim or additional workout in the fully equipped Athletic Club. Guests can enjoy an indoor pool, weight room, treadmills, bicycles, sauna, jacuzzi, and tanning facilities. After a good workout, rest and relax at the full service salon -- hair styling, manicure, pedicure, and facial available.
For all its history and grand tradition, nothing is more symbolic of The Peabody than its world-famous ducks, who spend part of every day swimming in the Grand Lobby fountain. The mallards are raised by a local farmer and friend of the hotel. They live in the lavish Duck Palace on the Plantation Roof. Every day at 11 a., they are led by the Duckmaster down the elevator to the Italian Travertine marble fountain in the Grand Lobby. Red carpet is unrolled and the ducks march through crowds of admiring spectators to the tunes of John Philip Sousa. The fanfare is repeated at 5 p. when the ducks retire to their rooftop palace.
