Peabody Hotel

More about the book

Emerging from the post-Civil War South, the Peabody Hotel in Memphis has long been a symbol of luxury and Southern hospitality since its establishment in 1869. Initially a gathering place for influential figures, it evolved into a social hub with its famous duck fountain and vibrant parties. The original hotel was replaced in 1925 by a grander structure, further cementing its status as a premier destination. Today, the Peabody remains a cornerstone of downtown Memphis, celebrated for its elegance and rich history.
