The heart of Memphis |
149 Union Ave (at Second Street) Memphis, TN 38103 United States +1 901 529 4000 / +1 800 732 2639 (Toll Free) http://www.peabodymemphis.com/ |
This place is a true southern original - perhaps the only hotel in the world where ducks live on the roof and ride the elevator to the main floor and promptly march to the lobby fountain every day at 10a. Restored to its late 19th-century elegance, the Peabody is the heart that pumps Memphis social life. On any given weekend, you can sit in the lobby bar and watch people come and go from charity events, weddings and high school proms. With its central location two blocks from Beale Street and its two superb restaurants, Dux and Chez Phillippe, the Peabody is well worth the cost. Famous guests that have stayed here include Robert E. Lee and William Faulkner. Review © 2007, Wcities |
