Downtown, Memphis (June, 2002)

 
Other than Beale Street, downtown Memphis is also known worldwide for the Peabody Hotel and its famous ducks.

The hotel has operated since 1869 and it is extravagant in every way.

The Grand Lobby is absolutely enormous and is full of dark wood and marble.  Rooms start at $200 and there are four restaurants located inside.  Quite a place!  I don't know if I've ever seen an old hotel with such grandeur.
