Top 10 hotels in Louisville

Discover the top hotels in Louisville, hand-picked by local expert Jennifer Simonson.

Some might overlook Kentucky as a prime vacation destination, but as someone who has spent quite some time there, Louisville's hotel scene alone could rival those in the trendiest cities. If you're an art lover, you'll find hotels that double as contemporary art museums, offering a cultural feast right in the lobby. History enthusiasts, meanwhile, can explore beautifully restored Victorian mansions converted to hotels, where every room tells a story. For bourbon aficionados, there are charming inns that celebrate Kentucky’s rich bourbon heritage, with themed decor and nightly toasts. Modern travellers can enjoy sleek, industrial-style hotels on Whiskey Row, complete with rooftop bars and river views. Whether you’re seeking artistic flair, historic charm, bourbon-centric luxury or contemporary chic, Louisville’s hotels promise an unforgettable stay. Here’s my pick of the best hotels in Louisville.

1.

The Brown Hotel

Address:

335 West Broadway

Price:

C$ 173-C$ 694/night

Stepping into The Brown Hotel, you're greeted by an opulent two-story lobby. The hand-painted coffered ceiling draws your gaze upward, while the Botticino marble floor gleams underfoot. Richly carved mahogany furnishings and Palladian-style windows add to the atmosphere of refined elegance.

The century-old Brown Hotel is a Louisville icon and the birthplace of the city’s signature dish, the Hot Brown. When I wasn’t eating this broiled, open-faced turkey sandwich with bacon, tomato and cheese, I was sipping bourbon at the Lobby Bar. The bar was a founding member of the Urban Bourbon Trail and offers flights of bourbon to prove it. For me, the rich history and culinary legacy of Brown Hotel make this one of the best hotels in Louisville.

2.

21c Museum Hotel Louisville

Address:

700 West Main Street

Price:

C$ 182-C$ 1,085/night

If you’re looking for a quirky spot that offers something a little different, I’ve got the place for you. The 21c Museum Hotel is a boutique hotel chain known for its brightly coloured, four-foot-tall penguin sculptures that can be found all over their properties. Guests and staff are encouraged to move the penguins around, so if you notice them in different spots, it’s not your imagination.

Besides taking selfies with the penguins, I loved the fact the hotel has a free art gallery. The curated contemporary artworks are constantly rotated between the hotels, so you can see new pieces every time you stay. My favourite part is that the gallery is always open, so if I wanted to look at the pieces at 3am, I could. There’s no doubt that 21c Museum Hotel is one of the best hotels in Louisville, especially for art lovers.

3.

The Grady

Address:

601 West Main Street

Price:

C$ 33-C$ 1,970/night

As one of the top-rated hotels in Louisville, the Grady is steeped in local history. Situated near the Muhammad Ali Center, this boutique property offers a unique experience with plenty of nods to the city’s heritage. The building dates back to 1883, when a local pharmacist commissioned it to be a medicinal bourbon apothecary.

Design details throughout the hotel honour Louisville's history, with butterflies and bees, horseshoes nodding to the Kentucky Derby, and shamrocks celebrating the Swann Hat Company. Luxurious bedrooms feature reclaimed wood ceilings and copper tones to create a warm atmosphere that extends to the communal spaces, like the library and central fireplace.

I loved slipping into the plush boxing robe in my room—another nod to Ali—after a day of exploring the city. It’s this attention to detail that makes the Grady one of the best hotels in Louisville.

4.

The Seelbach Hilton Louisville

Address:

500 South 4th St

Price:

C$ 184-C$ 2,946/night
