Effective January 31, 2008, The Peabody Hotel's complimentary airport shuttle service has been changed to allow for advance reservations of the service. Reservations for the shuttle will be taken between 5:00 AM and 11:00 PM every day. Shuttle reservations can be made through the Guest Services Department by calling 501-906-4000. Please note that as long as there are reservations in place, the shuttle will depart the hotel on the hour and half hour, and will depart the airport every fifteen minutes before and after the hour.
If no reservations have been made, the shuttle will run on request only. It is suggested that guests with shuttle reservations be ready 10 minutes prior to reservation time from the hotel.
