There isn't a single room in this Memphis hotel that doesn't have at least one duck in it. However, the duck theme is more than just an aesthetic design choice. Since 1940, the ducks that live on the hotel's property have been trained to walk through the lobby to the fountain as a part of the famous Peabody Duck March. There's even a "Duckmaster" who rolls out the red carpet for the hotel's webfooted visitors.

This decommissioned 1930s-era cruise ship boasts all the luxuries you’d expect after watching "Titanic," but without ever leaving the harbor. In Long Beach, travelers can book a package to stay in one of the Queen Mary's staterooms and there's even a spa onboard. The ship has a long and interesting history that originated in Great Britain about a century ago and many people say that the boat is one the most haunted places in the U.S. The hotel even offers ghost tours, where you can learn more about the lingering spirits that never checked out.
