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.
