My family of 4 stayed here Feb 18-19 for the Van Halen concert. I chose this hotel over others because of its historic value and also to accumulate Hilton Honors points. Valet parking was a breeze. The lobby was beautiful and the staff was quick and courteous upon check-in. Our room was small: 2 double beds and a small bathroom... More

The Seelbach is a cool old hotel in the heart of downtown Louisville, very near the party district. The rooms a clean, but let's face it, it's an old hotel and you can only do so much. It reminds me of a smaller version of the Chicago Hilton. The rooms are a bit noisy. The Starbucks in the lobby is... More

Thank you for the great comments about our staff. We take great pride in exceeding guest expectations. We are also proud of our Hilton benefits to include our Hhonors program, which is the best in the business. A tip to all travelers would be to make sure we get your number, or sign up if you have not had the... More

While a mistake was initially made at check in the staff took the initiative to make it right. In the end, I probably over reacted but I don't like being embarrassed. But with that said, they made it right so water under the bridge. After that, great service, great hotel, and an excellent location. Will definitely stay there again. In... More

We have stayed at the Seelbach Hilton the last two years for the Breeders Cup races in early november. Friendly staff, nice rooms, good location Location: directly downtown across the street from the 4th Avenue Live area which is the nightlife center of Louisville. Convenient to everything and there was a bus pickup for the Breeders cup right behind the... More

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the Seelbach. We certainly enjoy having guests from all over the world at the Breeder's Cup and take great pride in serving you. I suggest now coming for the Kentucky Derby, where the party is as important as the horse race. The Seelbach is the perfect location, in the heart of the city... More

This hotel was clean and had a pleasant staff. The rooms were very comfortable. There is a great Rookwood Pottery collection in the basement consisting of a large amount of Rookwood wall tiles not containers as you would think. Being from Cincinnati we found this display very interesting and unusual. One of a kind I"m sure. A room selection tip:... More

Thank you for taking the time to share insights about the Seelbach. The Rathskeller is one of a kind in the United States. We have had visitors from Germany tell us that it looks familiar, though. The German immigrants Louis and Otto Seelbach may have copied their favorite watering hole in Munich, as several guests see strong resemblances to one... More

A vintage well maintained historic hotel. The hotel is located in the heart of downtown Louisville, close to restaurants, entertainment, museums and other attractions. Small rooms and you can hear your neighbors unfortunately. Valet parking is not cheap. I would still recommend the hotel and there is a big Starbucks in the lobby. More

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Seelbach. While one of the greatest attractions to the Seelbach is the Historic Charm, the central location to everything in Louisville is one more reason to be here when travel brings you to the area. The hotel has many different room types, with a wide variety that range from smaller rooms to... More

We spent New Years day here and it was very quiet. We were put into room 400 on the corner and it was a very nice room. The bed did seem really small. We are not sure if it was a small queen or a full. The location is great right outside 4th street Live. Great bars and restaurants near... More

This is an excellent hotel The location is perfect being right at Fourth Street, next to the Fourth Street Live entertainment and restaurant project. As I like to walk around at night this location is made for that pleasure. The great old bar had maybe 65 types of bourbon and old time food items such as fried green tomatos. Try... More

Spent Christmas Holiday in downtown Louisville. This is a classic 1905 property and the recent renovation has given its rooms flat screen TVs and improved bathrooms. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The only disappointment is that windows were fitted with interior panes for better insulation and do not open for fresh air. The service is a model for other Hiltons.... More
