The lobby is beautiful and rich in history. The rooms, however, are very old, worn down and somewhat grimy. Same with the exterior. This is not a luxury hotel despite the reputation and marketing. The only amenity in our room was an old plastic coffee maker with plastic cups. Our room was refreshed without emptying the wastebaskets. The TV looked like the cheapest flat screen you could buy. We had a window that did not close all the way, leaving a 1/2 inch gap. Do not recommend.

Beautiful Historic hotel, with gorgeous architecture. Our room and bathroom were spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The restaurant in the lobby had excellent food and service- home of the “Hot Brown”, which I highly recommend! My husband and I felt the shuttle service offered by the hotel was exceptional. We utilized it to get to our dinner reservations, and for airport transfers. Every single staff member was amazingly friendly and helpful! Will definitely stay again when we return to Louisville

The hotel is nostalgic and well-kept. Loved the atmosphere, especially as the night ends. The bar gets packed. It's vibrant. Rooms are small but very clean and keeps the vibe of the hotel. The area around the hotel is just ok. Not much to do, had to drive a few minutes away to get to other dining/bars/nightlife. Otherwise it's perfect.
