Top Downtown Arts Center Hotel Reviews

Hilton Lexington/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

The Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, clean, great rooftop bar and convenient restaurant downstairs. Excellent service."

The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"What a great Boutique hotel! We loved our stay. The rooms were comfortable and super quiet. Best shower around. Thank you"

21c Museum Hotel Lexington

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very nice. We had a room on the top floor with a view out the NW facing the visitor center. The room was clean and ready. The bathroom was really nice, and well laid out. The bar is still not open so don’t go by the pictures in the listing, but it wasn’t why we picked this hotel anyway. The staff were friendly, helpful and non intrusive. The art galleries are nice but limited. The location is great if you want to stay downtown but for the price, parking should be included at the lot across the street. It’s Lexington KY not NYC… No breakfast included but we could walk easily to a nice little place a few blocks away."

Elwood Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot, nice rooms. Lovely breakfast spot. Be sure to enjoy the patio."

Best Downtown Lexington location! + free parking

10/10 Excellent

"This property is updated, modern, and very clean. It has a very large walk-in shower in the primary bedroom and a shower and tub in the guest bedroom. Both baths have dual sinks. It's a little pricey, but if you are looking for location, location, location, this is the place! Easy walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Lex e.g. Frank & Dinos and Dudley's. Loved Stella's Deli for breakfast, too. We were there for Keeneland racing and UK football. UK won on Saturday night and the party in the street/adjoining parking lot was still going strong at 1 pm. Great news, the condo was very well insulated from street-level noise so we weren't bothered at all. Free parking with an easy drive to UK, Keeneland, and surrounding areas. MC"

Morrison Cabin Offers The Finest Interiors, Unique History & Very Best Location

10/10 Excellent

"An historic and nicely renovated property, w/expected amenities except for non functioning tv in 1st floor master. Contacted host on arrival night re TV issue, and to report a light shade in master w/evidence older damage -- no reply to my message re either concern. Bed in master extremely comfortable, and HVAC perfect even during extreme heatwave. Kitchen well stocked. Sofa in living room not for sitting -- historic but has outlived its time. All living areas very well cleaned. Dispensers for hair products not working but host left adequate shampoo and conditioner, along w/ a great supply of fluffy bathtowels-- generous # Overall, location just excellent. Neighborhood good for walking."
