The Bar/Lounge at The Peabody Memphis

"Rooms are comfortably elegant, while the glorious lobby is an attraction in itself, with a friendly, relaxed bar"

"Marble pillars, hand-painted skylights, a charming bar, and a manned grand piano grace the lobby"

") The ducks are a major part of the hotel's identity: soap bars are shaped like ducks, collectible rubber duckies are included with some packages (and sold in the gift shop), and many of the art pieces and other accents are just as ducky"

"The current incarnation, a 13-story Italian Renaissance Revival–style building, dates to the 1920s and remains a social center, with a spa, shops, restaurants, an atmospheric lobby bar and 464 guestrooms in soothing turquoise tones"

"Memphis is famous for its barbecue, and the famed dry-rub Rendezvous is just across the street, but better options include Central BBQ and Cozy Corner"

"The Club Floor adds access to the sophisticated lounge with basic breakfast and evening buffets, although in our experience, it's not consistently staffed"
