Seelbach Hilton Louisville Downtown  

In the heart of downtown Louisville, steps from Fourth Street Live! and Starks Court Shopping Center. Minutes from the Kentucky International Convention Center, Louisville Palace and Whiskey Row. Close to Kentucky Derby venues, bourbon distillery tours, the Louisville Slugger Museum and riverboat rides along the Ohio River.

This landmark luxury hotel opened in 1905 and sits on the National Register of Historic Places — its grand lobby even inspired a scene in The Great Gatsby. A recent multimillion-dollar renovation refreshed rooms and restored period features like the original skylight, ornate woodwork and hand-carved lion-head columns. Rooms are air-conditioned with pillowtop beds, down comforters, designer toiletries and large flat-screen TVs. Unique spots include a historic Rookwood-Pottery Rathskeller and a grand ballroom that hosts weddings and big events.

A nearly doubled, state-of-the-art fitness center with Precor equipment, on-site massage services and a hair salon keep you refreshed. On-property conveniences include gift shops, valet/parking, wired and wireless internet (surcharge), babysitting/childcare (surcharge), a coffee shop/café, multiple restaurants and a bar/lounge. Expect concierge and front-desk services and the option of 24-hour room service and full breakfast for a fee.

High-speed wired internet (surcharge), a 24-hour business center and 32,000 sq ft of event space make this a top pick for meetings and weddings. Standout venues include a restored grand ballroom and the one-of-a-kind Rathskeller. Limo/town car service and event planning support are available.

Home to Kentucky's only AAA Five-Diamond restaurant alongside two additional dining venues and a café. Enjoy refined regional fare with Kentucky flavors and bourbon-inspired touches, plus a bar/lounge for cocktails. Room service is offered and full breakfasts are available for a fee.
