Peabody Little Rock is in the former Excelsior Hotel in downtown Little Rock (next to the Old Statehouse). The hotel underwent over 40 million dollars of renovations and is almost unrecognizable. It's absolutely beautiful. The main lobby attraction is, of course, a new fountain and four or five little water fowl.

Everyday the hotel loads ducks in an elevator, puts down a red carpet and lets the ducks waddle into the lobby to swim around the fountain and be ogled. You can stay at the hotel or just visit for the duck march. Those famous fowl, the Peabody ducks, now have a home here and are stirring things up in Little Rock.

The ducks march down everyday at 11:00 and march up at 5:00. Between that time they are in the fountain playing, quacking and being ducks.

Rooms at Peabody Little Rock are $189 and up. You don't have to have a room to watch the ducks. You can call the Peabody for more information or to reserve a room.
