Hotels in Louisville, KY

“My husband and I have stayed at quite a few bed-and-breakfasts over the years, and Louisville Bourbon Inn is by far the best.

The service was truly exceptional. Allen was an incredible host, and Chris was just as delightful. We were in the middle of a stressful move and Allen went out of his way to ensure our stay was peaceful, seamless, and completely worry-free. That level of thoughtfulness made all the difference.

Thank you for the extended hospitality and for being so genuinely gracious. We will absolutely be back and truly cannot wait to enjoy more of Allen’s amazing breakfasts.”

“This place is a real gem. We have stayed at the Inn at Woodhaven numerous times over the years, and we always love it. Aside from the beautiful rooms and the great location, the breakfast is amazing.”

“Unmatched 7-Night Stay – The Absolute Best in Louisville!
We stay in many hotels, but our 7-night stay at the Aloft Downtown Louisville was next to none. I couldn’t have said anything bad even if I wanted to. From check-in to check-out and everything in between, the experience was absolutely flawless.
The hotel was incredibly clean, and the service was unmatched. As a major bonus, they are completely pet-friendly, and they serve the absolute best coffee to kickstart your day! Every single department blew us away. The bar staff, the restaurant team, and the cleaning crew were all amazing, friendly, and attentive.
I wouldn't do this incredible staff justice if I didn't mention some of them by name. Huge, heartfelt thanks to Ryan, Bevin, Charon, Kati, and Oliver for making our week so special!
Whether you are traveling to Louisville with your furry friend, staying for a vacation, or just driving through, I highly recommend this hotel. We will definitely be back!”

“just left my third stay at this hotel. it’s simply the best. yes - the rooms are small! this is not somewhere you’d want to stay for extended time but for a long weekend it’s perfect. the staff is incredibly nice. the bar in the lobby is a VIBE. everything is walkable. the food available at the hotel is fast, fresh and affordable. I live in indy and a lot of concerts and comedians who skip us ending up in LOU and so thankful to have found this incredible hotel to stay at when that happens. for parking i recommend the wharf parking garage on witherspoon. it’s less than a 2 block walk and $25 a night.”

“Beautiful hotel. Nice, clean room. The lobby is very small. Good location, walked to the Louisville Slugger Museum and the Old Forester distillery is very close to the hotel as well. We self parked in the structure across the street.”

“This hotel was a step above awesome. The service is wonderful. The rooms are very nice andet me just say the bedding in this hotel is so comfortable. The only thing that I would want to change is the free continental breakfast they have during the week, I wish they had it during the weeknd too.”

“We stayed here last week and were greeted by Arthur, valet, who bent over backwards and then checked in with Anya who was awesome. The room was very nice and clean. The art museum is a definite plus, really interesting pieces.”

“Much nicer than what I expected seeing it online. It's looks nice online, but better in person. Staff is quite friendly. Rooms were very clean. The breakfast bar was also quite nice.”

“If you’re even thinking about staying at The Grady—just do it. This place is an absolute gem.

From the moment we pulled up, the experience stood out. Our valet, Chance, was incredible. He didn’t just park the car—he knew the history of the hotel like the back of his hand and genuinely made us feel welcomed. The hotel itself has such a unique story, and you can tell they’ve leaned into that boutique, historic vibe in all the right ways.

What really blew me away was how far they went to take care of us. There was a show going on nearby and the hotel restaurant, Wild Swann, was completely packed. Somehow, Chance still managed to secure us reservations—which felt like a miracle given how busy it was.

Speaking of Wild Swann… phenomenal. I had the bone marrow burger and it was one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. My wife had the mushroom rigatoni and loved it. But the real standout was how they treated our kids. We weren’t sure if they’d be willing to modify anything for them, but they went above and beyond and made simple wagyu sliders (just burger and cheese), and our kids devoured them. That kind of flexibility and care goes a long way.

The overall vibe of the hotel is immaculate—perfect for anyone who loves history and boutique-style stays. It feels intentional, cozy, and genuinely unique.

And honestly, one of the funniest and most memorable moments—we accidentally photobombed a couple taking engagement photos outside by looking out our window… while wearing the Muhammad Ali robes provided in the room. That pretty much sums up the kind of unforgettable experience you’ll have here.

This isn’t just a hotel—it’s an experience. We’ll absolutely be back.”

“Jeff and Alicia with valet are phenomenal! The hotel is beautiful, the only thing preventing the last star for me is that I travel with a service dog and there is no grass area right here for me to take him. Comes with the downtown area for the most part, lots of interesting shops and good food.Walkability: Everything seems to be in a good waking distance.Food & drinks: Lots of food and drink options in walking distance.”

“I'm a Platinum Lifetime Marriott Bonvoy member - I stay in a lot of Marriott hotels and really like the Residence Inn brand.

The Residence Inn Louisville Oxmoor location is the NICEST Residence Inn I have ever stayed in. The hotel is modern and very clean. The staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming.
The breakfast was the highlight of the stay - I had REAL scrambled eggs (not powdered eggs) and a delicious blueberry scone.

The hotel is in a great location. Despite being near an interstate, I did not hear any traffic. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

If you have an opportunity to stay here - do it!”

“Being able to walk around and stay at the hotel was an awesome experience. To me it gave off both luxury and taste because the food is 10/10.

“Staff was friendly but somewhat less knowledgeable than expected.

They have level 2 charging for electric vehicles. Room was very spacious but had seen better days. Clean though.”

“My wife and I stayed here last weekend to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and we could not have been MORE HAPPY with our decision!!!
Such an amazing and beautiful old home that has so much character and charm!!! We had never stayed at a BNB before this. It was something that my wife was always a bit unsure of and was even unsure when I booked this one...until we got there! :) She LOVED it!!!
Again, the home is beautiful, and the owners (Devona and Steve) are simply AMAZING and just great people!!! I believe we enjoyed speaking with them and spending time with them as much as we did the stay!!
Also, words cannot describe the breakfast!!!!! Sooooo good!!! You will not be disappointed and come hungry!!!
If you are looking for a great, quaint, beautiful home to spend a couple of days, this is the perfect place!!!
HUGE thank you Devona and Steve for welcoming us into your beautiful home with literally open arms! You made our stay, and more importantly, our anniversary, a very special one and one we will not forget anytime soon! We cannot wait to come back and we will take you up on that offer to sit on the patio and enjoy a good bourbon and great conversations! Thank you again!!”

“Very very clean and well kept hotel. As soon as we walked in I could SMELL how clean it was in there. No trash or dust in any of the public spaces. Room was very clean. They were very helpful when I had questions about checking in after midnight. Pretty good food, and a good selection, my picky eater kids each found things they both liked. Would definitely stay here again.”

“Rooms were very nice but slightly lived in. We also had a bulb burn out and our TV was not working however the issue was fixed immediately! The staff was great. The amenities were wonderful. The location was perfect! Great stay!”

“Room were super clean and everything in hotel was kept stocked and clean. Staff were amazing and friendly. Some didnt speak English but quickly pulled up Google translator to be able to answer any questions we had or recommendation we requested, which my kids thought was so cool. Very family friendly environment. The pool and hot tub were kept clean and tidy and the coffee in the lobby stayed stocked up and ready to serve 24/7. Breakfast was amazing each morning and my kids love having the choice between all the options they served and kept stocked. I can not thank the staff enough for such amazing customer service and an amazing place to stay.”

“Kyle and Hunter are such amazing assets to the hotel. They have been my go to people for any issue I’ve come across during my stay. They truly understand what it means to work in customer service.”

“On-site parking was very minimal but worth it if you manage to snag a spot. If so do not move your car because you will probably not get another one. Tv broke and took forever for it to reset after maintenance replaced it. No breakfast available in the hotel but available for purchase onsite”

“The rooms were extremely spacious, and recently remodeled, with several amenities. Breakfast was great, and the pancake machine worked just fine every morning. It is right by the airport, so bring ear plugs. The king bed was a little hard, and only had three pillows rather than four. They should add a sign on how to operate the automatic blinds, because we never could figure it out. Parking was odd, since there are only a few close spots, and then a giant lot that appears to be shared amongst several hotels. We did, however, have to report an electrical issue with room 419, as there was a burn mark on the switch, my phone shocked my when it was charging (never happened before), and a power back charged in about twenty minutes when it normally take a couple of hours. They said they would have it inspected.”

“We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The rooms were clean and spacious! Breakfast was good. The staff that we had interaction with were friendly and helpful. We had two boys with us and loved where we stayed and said, “Can we come back!””

“I have to say this place was very comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly. Bar on site and absolutely the best breakfast I’ve ever had included. Very reasonably priced too.”

“Their breakfast was absolutely wonderful with many many options from oatmeal, fried eggs, crispy bacon, sausage cheese, yogurt, cereals. The swimming pool was nice. The weight and workout room was good sized and they had an open common area with board games, fooze ball table, and pool table. Thank you for the stay!!!”

“This is another place that I myself did not stay at this hotel but I did visit here for a few hours. This is where my oldest son and his family stayed at when they came in town for Christmas. Their room was a fairly decent size and there was some nice extras like a session where you could get free drinks with a special ticket for being a guest and a free breakfast and not quite a continental one at that. It is a very beautiful hotel especially the lobby with the waterfall that I took some video footage that I will post along with my review. I gave a 3 star rating on the location only because of it being in downtown Louisville. This however, is located at 4th Street Live which means it is in a more watched and patroled area of downtown Louisville so, it's not so bad. Overall, it does deserve the really good rating that I gave it.”

“Stay here often for work travels. The lady at the service desk is the best! She remembers each time that I prefer ground floor and always ensures I’m on the ground level. Nice smaller hotel in a great location.”

“cool spot. like sports betting,slots and horse betting this is your place. food was good too. just doesnt have cards. bed is hella comfy and rooms and neat and comfortable. bathroom is dope and shower is nice. all and all would come back”

“I will start off by saying that this hotel is owned and operated by The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which makes sense as it is on the campus. The hotel does not have the same amenities as a Hilton or a Marriott, but the rooms are clean.”

“For those leaving complaints understand that most of your negative feedback does not help others especially when amazing like a victim.
Room : was clean felt comfortable had a fridge. electric stove and dishwasher with plates. Yes some dishes maybe dirty it happens when people fail to wash their own plates and instead leave them in the dishwasher. Dishwashers dont scrub its pretty logic.
Service: staff are friendly. For those complaining about cameras and room privacy etc. Cameras can only be accessible to the GM and Owner only. Unless you file a police report they would allow the officer to conduct his investigation. So please stop harassing the staff. Privacy, while they do have a DND ( do not disturb] signs available for you to place thats there for a reason. If you dont have the sign up dont complain about them changing your towels and tidying up your mess in the room. Its bad enough the Housekeepers have their own children to clean up too but complaining about them cleaning is pretty far fetched. Your a guest. You dont own the room maintenance, techs, Housekeeper and staff have a right to conduct their job if need be and thats accessing your room with or without written notice. They will make themselves announce themselves before entering of course. Please stop harassing people with threats victimizing yourself in the process they are people too. You all complained about the staff being rude what you expect when you show up with the entitlement attitude.

Location: its close to the airport but the smell of industrial factories is the only drawback. Lost my full sense of smell years ago but im still able to tell that theres a smell coming from outside”

“Rooms are not like they say on the websites even on booking or choice. Small out dated lighting is awful. This is a stay but the rules are of those luxury hotels. The price is ridiculously high for no good reason other than the fact Ford is right here. They have false advertising about price and quality of rooms”

“Hark, gentle traveler, I shall render this review in the tongue of the Bard.

Hark, what a most wondrous and splendid lodging did we find! Each chamber, a world unto itself, didst boast a unique and captivating theme. We, by fortune's grace, didst settle within the Entertainment Room, a sanctuary dedicated to the celebrated players of Louisville and fair Kentucky.

Within these hallowed walls, we found all the comforts of a fine household: a kitchenette, a chest for the washing of dishes, a great larder to keep our victuals, and even a washer and dryer for our soiled garments. 'Twas a true home away from home.

The host himself, a man of most amiable disposition, didst prove a most excellent guide and companion. He was quick to answer our inquiries and didst greet our messages with haste. In the morn, he didst leave sweet muffins for all his guests, and on the first eve, he didst gather us together, a merry company, and didst bake pizzas for our pleasure.

We journeyed to this place for the great Louder Than Life festival, and should fate bring us to that grand spectacle once more, we shall surely seek our rest within these very walls. A more perfect stay we could not have asked for.”
