The Peabody Memphis — the city’s most iconic hotel — has unveiled a $19 million makeover of its guest rooms. It’s part of a 30-year effort to update the property, which is being funded by a special tourism development zone approved specifically for the hotel and the large-scale renovations. 

In this episode, editorial director Mary Cashiola and business reporter Dima Amro talk about the sneak peek Amro got into the new rooms, what other upgrades are planned and the hotel’s numerous nods to duck decor.
