点评:While the time-honored Peabody Ducks tradition held daily in the lobby of The Peabody Memphis since 1933 is FREE, parking is definitely not. Use the 110 Peabody Place Garage for better rates ($1/hour) and avoid more expensive options like the 250 Peabody Garage, which can cost $12.26 for a 90-minute stay.
Also, keep in mind that some hotel doors are exit-only. Upon entering, head to the Grand Lobby to find a seat before the "March of the Peabody Ducks". At the center is the Peabody Fountain, where five North American mallard ducks splish-splash from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. At five o'clock, the Duckmaster escorts them back to their "Duck Palace" rooftop penthouse to the tune of John Philip Sousa's "King Cotton March".
The show lasts only about 90 seconds, so secure a spot early; it will be over before you know it. To snag front-row seats along the red carpet, arrive by 9:30-10 a.m. or 3:30-4 p.m. The lobby bar is a great alternative, but arrive at least an hour early. Note that standing may be restricted in certain areas to keep views clear for seated guests.
While waiting, try a Rubber Ducky Cocktail (Malibu rum, creme de banana, pineapple juice and orange juice). It comes with a complimentary miniature rubber duck, though you can add one to any other drink for an extra $2. Finally, while Chez Philippe is the hotel's premier French restaurant, it famously does not serve duck out of respect for the feathered residents. If you want a memento, souvenir "Blue Suede" rubber ducks are available in the lobby gift shop.
翻译:自 1933 年以来,皮博迪孟菲斯酒店大堂每天都会举行历史悠久的皮博迪鸭表演,这项传统活动免费,但停车却并非免费。建议使用 110 Peabody Place 停车场,价格更优惠(每小时 1 美元),避免选择 250 Peabody 停车场等更昂贵的停车场,后者停车 90 分钟可能需要 12.26 美元。
此外,请注意酒店的部分门仅供出口使用。进入酒店后,请前往大堂,在“皮博迪鸭游行”开始前找个座位。大堂中央是皮博迪喷泉,每天上午 11 点至下午 5 点,五只北美绿头鸭会在这里嬉戏玩耍。下午 5 点,鸭子大师会伴着约翰·菲利普·苏萨的《棉花王进行曲》的旋律,将它们护送回位于屋顶的“鸭宫”。
表演仅持续约 90 秒,所以务必尽早找到位置。活动转瞬即逝。想要在红毯上占据前排位置,请于上午 9:30 至 10:00 或下午 3:30 至 4:00 到达。大堂酒吧也是个不错的选择,但至少要提前一小时到达。请注意,为了保证就座宾客的视野,部分区域可能限制站立。
等候期间,不妨试试“橡皮鸭鸡尾酒”(马利宝朗姆酒、香蕉利口酒、菠萝汁和橙汁)。这款鸡尾酒附赠一只迷你橡皮鸭,您也可以额外支付 2 美元,在其他任何饮品中添加一只。最后,虽然 Chez Philippe 是酒店首屈一指的法式餐厅,但出于对鸟类的尊重,餐厅不供应鸭肉。如果您想留作纪念,大堂礼品店有售“蓝色绒面革”纪念橡皮鸭。
