The property was gorgeous. It was a safe area with restaurant's in walking distance and airport shuttle service. My only complaint was that I had to call 3 different days in a row because they did not bring more coffee when they cleaned the room.

Super solid

The first floor restaurant served a yummy lunch one day with perfectly cooked salmon. I enjoyed a cocktail on the second floor at the very ornate bar. The room was very comfortable and the bed was exceptionally nice. Great stay.

Hotel is very clean, staff is very friendly and helpful. Walls are thin, lots of noise from elevators and other guests. Not the most comfortable bed for me. My stay was fine. If Im ever back in Louisville, I would try to stay closer to downtown, whiskey row area.

A historic haven

Loved this historic hotel! Wonderful ambiance, service and history made you feel like you were stepping back in time! The lovely bartender made us feel welcome and be sure to try the famous hot brown! The room was comfortable and well appointed and the 24 hour shuttle service to the airport was a very welcome bonus! I would stay here again!

I expected more

Staff was very friendly. Rooms felt outdated smelly and a bit dirty. Beds felt old and soft, a bit uncomfortable Location was nice. Good walking distance to convention center where we needed to be. Bathrooms were spacious. The architecture and decor is beautiful and i appreciate the hotels history. I was hoping to get a visit from Mr. Brown but he never came to see me…

Terrible beds

Beautiful lobby and high end dining room and bar. Rooms were from the 90s and spring beds from the 80s. Staff was very friendly but I wouldn't stay again unless the beds were upgraded. Extremely uncomfortable.
