My brothers and I spent a weekend at this distinctive and historic downtown hotel while exploring the nearby Bourbon Trail. Beds provided a great night's rest and rooms were very clean. Dinner, complemented by a very nice Rye Manhattan from the lobby bar, at the English-styled restaurant was exceptional in every respect. The more casual brew-pub directly across the street... More

My wife and I stayed here on a Saturday night to attend a show at the (semi) attached Brown Theater. We were excited about the Brown Hotel because we were aware of its age and decor. The room rate was reasonable and we purchased a couple of eStandby upgrades, specifically a club-level room and discounted valet parking. I was hesitant... More

My wife and I traveled to Louisville (my home town) to spend a night at the Brown on the occasion of our 42d wedding anniversary. Growing up in Louisville, I had been by the hotel many times, but never spent time there (except for a great dinner there a couple of years ago). We expected good service, but not the... More

Our room was very... More

My wife and I took a weekend escape to the Brown. I highly recommend paying a little more and staying on one of their Club Floor. Excellent complementary appetizers, beer, and wine 5-7 and very good breakfast the next morning. The concierge Derrick S. does a fantastic job of seeing to your needs. More
