Learn How We Inspect

The Peabody is a Memphis landmark. Perhaps best known for its signature ducks that march twice daily to splash in the hotel's fountain, this grand hotel is also a shopping destination (it's the home of Lansky's, Elvis' favorite clothing store).

Rooms are spacious and classically decorated, with plenty of room for work or rest. The hotel's impressive array of amenities include a comprehensive health club, an indoor pool and Feather’s Spa and Salon.
