The stand next to the bed is a Suit Stand. They were used primarily in the late 50's-60's, for men to set out their pressed suit, tie, belt, etc. for the next day. The compartments on top are for cufflinks, and other things a business man would need to remember to pack in his jacket. Good video! Thanx for the tour.
We did get to check out the rooftop, where the ducks are at night, which was really nice. We did not know about the pool. Have to check that out next time.
I was getting a really good vibe about this place until the double billing! Did you ask for the manager?? I would have well before 45 minutes, and if they didn't fix it, I assure you I would have called the hotel mgr and very politely explained how disappointed I was. I don't mind paying for a higher quality hotel, but I expect to be treated in a similar way. And typically if a higher end hotel or restaurant is at fault, they will often bend over backwards to make it right. That was true pre-YELP and YT, but perhaps moreso now. Because folks like me, who sadly was a sucker for the duck soap, now are thinking the newer Guest House at Graceland might be the way to go. Memphis has long been on my "one of these years" list. I wasn't that keen on the Peabody, as I find old hotel rooms to typically be tiny. Seeing this video had me rethinking my choice. Now....well I wouldn't not go because of it, but I would have loved to hear how they addressed your problem!! PS Turndown usually includes a chocolate or mint on the pillow. Some leave them on a tray, or sealed ones on the pillows. I'm super curious how the prices compare with those hotels. Either way I plan to visit here...the ducks are legendary, and I wouldn't mind seeing Elvis stuff and that history room. And what a stunning piano!!
When the situation happened the waitress disappeared. There was no other staff in the area to even talk to and the manager never came out to speak with us, at all. Honestly, by the time she got back we had been traveling all day, add on the extra 45 minutes, and we were ready to get back to our room and relax. We had just stopped at the bar to take up some drinks to our room. We expected better from the hotel, as well. But we also don’t feel we should have to do their job at a higher end hotel. It should have been taken care of by the waitress. If that makes sense? We have considered staying at Graceland too, have to let us know if you do and how it goes.

Thank you for the information, we were not sure. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I’ve been curious about the Peabody, thanks for the tour.
It was a great stay. If you are thinking about staying there it is a wonderful experience.
I'm coming here for NYE.
It is a really great hotel and close to Beale Street. Great choice.
There is a great rooftop party and there is a big pool in the basement with chandeliers over it

Would of like to see a piece on the resteraunts.
We tried room service and it was really good. We will definitely consider going back again to check out the steakhouse.

Have you been to the Guest House at Graceland?
We have not stayed there but have visited the hotel. If choosing between the two we would stay at the Peabody.
Wood valet for men's suits. Was that a woman Duck Master, how cool.
Yes we had a woman duck master that morning.
