Frommer's Review
With its many tropical plants and an artificial stream, the lobby of this modern atrium hotel looks more like a botanical conservatory than a hotel lobby. A waterfall, little beach, and giant goldfish add to the effect, and, not to be upstaged by The Peabody, this hotel even has a few resident ducks floating in its stream. Wireless Internet access is available in public areas. All the guest rooms here are spacious two-room suites that have kitchenettes, dining tables, two televisions, two phones, and sofa beds. The layouts of the rooms are good for both families and business travelers. The complete, cooked-to-order breakfast is served in the atrium, where, in the evening, there's also a complimentary manager's reception with free drinks. The moderately priced Frank Grisanti's Italian Restaurant just off the atrium serves lunch and dinner and is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.
The Other Ducklings -- The Peabody's ducks may be the best-known fowl around town. But few visitors realize that another upscale property, the Embassy Suites in East Memphis, also boasts such birds frolicking amidst its atrium's fountains and foliage. They don't get the red-carpet treatment, however. "Our ducks are from the other side of the pond," quips an Embassy Suites employee.
