149 Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38103

Price per Night: $315 – $1,945

Known as "The South's Grand Hotel," the originalPeabody hotel first opened its doors in 1869 at Main & Monroe. However, the current Peabody Memphis building at 149 Union Avenue opened in 1925. It earned a position on the National Register of Historic Places. The hotel's original owner, Robert Campbell Brinkley, named the hotel after his close friend, philanthropist George Peabody. However, the hotel is perhaps far more famous for its five resident Mallard ducks, who march daily through the lobby.

The Peabody isn't just known for its history and quirks. It is also home to Feathers Spa, which earned a place among Spas of America's list of top 10 Spas of 2023. The Peabody features an Italian steakhouse, Capriccio Grill, and a French-inspired restaurant, Chez Philippe. The hotel also offers spots for more casual dining, cocktails, and afternoon tea with pastries.

Feeling hungry? The Four Seasons Nashville's on-site restaurant, Mimo, is described as Italian comfort food that meets Southern hospitality.

Blackberry Farm is far more than just a hotel in Tennessee. Located in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains on 4,200 acres, this sprawling luxury getaway has served as a tranquil escape for guests since its original purchase 80 years ago. The current resort concept dates mainly from the 1970s–1990s expansion. The farm features a variety of accommodations, from hotel rooms and suites to cottages and houses for rent. This of course means that pricing for a stay will vary, but Carriage House suites can cost upwards of $3,000 per night.

The high price point may just be worth it when you take in the site of the sun rising over the mountains, or when you enjoy a meal at the James Beard Award-winning restaurant, The Barn at Blackberry Farm. The farm's livestock provides milk, cheese, eggs, and meat throughout the year. They also practice sustainable agriculture and produce fresh vegetables and herbs. All this to say that dining at Blackberry Farm, whether at The Main House, The Dogwood (seasonal/private only), or The Barn, is quite the experience.

Just be prepared to pay upwards of $6,899 per night.
