Savvy travelers looking beyond the obvious hot spots for a more distinctive verve might want to take a look at Memphis.
EXPERIENCE
The only historic hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, The Peabody Memphis is in the midst of a massive, multi-million dollar program of renewal and redecoration. The program began some two years ago with the complete renovation and redecoration of the main ballroom, now renamed, The Peabody Grand Ballroom, and the addition of some of the most exquisite foyer/reception space.
The carved ceiling beams, and marvelous, hand-painted, etched, glass skylights will be cleaned and restored and illuminated by modern electric beams, all combining to produce an airy, light, atmosphere during daylight hours, slowly shading as night falls, to highlight to maximum advantage the lobby's exquisite architecture and design details.
The Rooms Division is the very heart of the hotel's operations, like the precision works of a finely engineered clock, all of the pieces working together to produce perfect time. They pledge to provide their guests a level of hospitality that is an art form of itself, deeply rooted in the tradition and style of Southern hospitality.
There are 468 luxurious guestrooms, each architecturally unique, at The Peabody Memphis. Décor is lush, complemented by the luxury amenities expected of "the South's Grand Hotel."
