One of the most storied hotels of the South, Peabody Hotel is on the
National Register of Historic Places and is located approximately
two blocks from legendary Beale Street and 12 miles from Memphis
International Airport. The National Civil Rights Museum and Mud
Island are two miles away, the Memphis Music Hall of Fame is three
miles away, and Graceland is 13 miles from the hotel. The 14-story
Memphis landmark has been an institution in town since 1925. A
social and business hub, the Peabody is the site of debutante balls
and charitable events. Hotel amenities include the four onsite
restaurants, ranging from deli style to fine dining at Chez
Philippe, a four-star restaurant. The hotel's Athletic Club features
an indoor pool, a weight room, treadmills, bicycles, a sauna,
Jacuzzi, and tanning facilities. There is a full-service spa and
salon on site for massages, aromatherapy, hair styling, manicures,
pedicures, and facials. The hotel also offers a business center.
The Peabody is the site of the 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 11am, 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 5pm
when the ducks retire to their rooftop palace.
All rooms feature
antique-style furniture, sitting areas with tables and two
armchairs, wireless Internet access, two telephones, minibars, irons
and ironing boards, and hairdryers. |
