Here are our vital statistics as recorded since opening on November 1, 1986.
Opened November 1986, The Peabody Orlando is only the second hotel to bear
the illustrious Peabody name. The original is the famous, vintage 1925 Peabody
Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, and like its sister property in Central Florida,
it too is home to the legendary Peabody Ducks.
The hotel’s blend of exquisite interior décor, artful hospitality
and elegant service combine to make it unique.
But this hotel has another ace to play: The Peabody Orlando Ducks. These
beloved mascots delight conference delegates. Each day without fail, this
“Famous Five”, under the leadership of “J.J.” Mallard
and his four North American Mallard hens, are led by Duck Master, Eric Anderson,
in the world-famous March of The Peabody Orlando Ducks, 11:00 a.m. into
the Atrium Lobby Fountain, and again at 5:00 p.m. back up to the Royal Peabody
Duck Palace.
High Points
The Peabody Orlando is well known for its unparalleled blend of service, facilities,
elegance and unrivaled location. The hotel is located directly across the
street from the main entrance of the 1.5 million square foot (soon to be 3
million square foot) Orange County Convention Center. The Peabody Orlando’s
prime 57,000 square feet of meeting space, along with fiber-optic video-conferencing
and other state-of-the-art technology, leave nothing to be desired for the
meeting planner of the new millennium. Banquet menus are custom designed to
suit the most discerning palates and dietary needs.
