The Hotel was beautiful. Had dinner at the restaurant the meal was delicious. The room was beautiful. No complaints about anything.
Would like to stay there again if I return to Louisville.
Loved the architectural style, antique furnishings and very friendly staff. Had the “Hot Brown” for dinner upon approval and our server gave us the history of the hotel and the Hot Brown. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Enjoyed chatting with staff regarding notable past guests like celebrities and musicians. Would definitely stay here again should we return to Louisville.
Really liked the hospitality of the staff. We arrived very late and they kept the kitchen open for us so we could have a hot dinner. Also, an historic hotel with all of the beauty.
Beautiful place and well maintained. Staff was very nice and the Hot Brown was the best I’ve ever had anywhere.

The food is great! Both dinner and breakfast were above expectations. It's a classic old-style hotel which needs some work to modernize. Rooms need more outlets, better refrigerators and better internet.
I highly recommend staying at the brown, it’s a lively busy hotel. We were going to a concert at the mercury ball room, very quick walk and a lot of food options within walking distance. Had room service from the safe for breakfast it was great.
