The Peabody - Memphis, TN

We spent a few days in Memphis over Spring Break. The hubby and I stayed one night at the Peabody. This hotel was built in the mid 1920's.

The Lobby...

The Mezzanine...







The ceiling of the lobby...



The Peabody is known for it's tradition of having ducks in the hotel. Every day at 11:00am, the ducks make a grand entrance into the lobby. They are escorted from their home on the rooftop, down in the elevator, to the lobby. Then at 5:00pm, they return back up.

The view looking towards the Mississippi River - as seen on the rooftop.



This house/structure is on the rooftop. I'm not sure what's inside. Could be just mechanical things.



This is the duck house in the pen where the ducks are kept.



They have a little pond and fountain.


The red carpet is rolled out...

The crowd...
