What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 2,266 guest reviews
The Peabody Memphis earns overwhelmingly enthusiastic reviews for its stunning historic atmosphere, well-maintained rooms, and the beloved duck march tradition that delights guests of all ages. Staff are widely praised as warm and professional, though isolated lapses — a disruptive midnight call, an unwelcoming check-in agent, and an unstaffed pool — temper an otherwise near-flawless picture. The main practical gripes are the cost: room rates, taxes, and parking are flagged as pricey, and a handful of guests found smaller, windowless rooms fell short of expectations.
