Opened November 1986, The Peabody Orlando is only the second hotel to bear the illustrious Peabody name. The original Peabody is the famous, vintage 1925 Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee, where the legend of The Peabody Ducks began. The third Peabody flag has been flying at The Peabody Little Rock, Little Rock, Arkansas, since 2002. And, like the original Peabody, The March of The Peabody Ducks takes place twice daily, at 11am and 5pm at The Peabody Orlando and at The Peabody Little Rock.
Designed by VOA Architects (Constructed by Gilbane Construction).

What makes the property unique?
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 Ducks. These beloved mascots delight conference delegates and leisure guests alike. Each day, without fail, at 11am and 5 pm, these “Famous Five,” led by “J. J.” Mallard and his four North American Mallard hens are escorted by their Duck Master, clad in scarlet-and-gold-trimmed jacket, for the world-famous March of The Peabody Ducks.
High Points

The Peabody Orlando’s prime 57,000 square feet of flexible meeting space with state-of-the-art technology, leave nothing to be desired for today’s professional meeting planner.
