The Peabody Memphis
We enjoyed staying at the Peabody. The room, while small, was comfortable. The onsite restaurants had good variety, the food was delicious and the customer service was great. The nightly duck march was fun (Kenan was a wonderful MC) and access to the roof top for a city view was a bonus.
