The Best Boutique Hotels To Book In Louisville Kentucky

Whether it be for a wedding, a weekend with the girls or “just because,” everyone needs some luxury once in a while. Louisville, Kentucky, is on the up and up, but the hotels have always been fabulous. Here’s our pick of the best boutique hotels in Louisville – bookable on Culture Trip – for the days when being classy is calling.

1. The Brown Hotel

Hotel

The Brown Hotel is a staple of Louisville’s history and majesty. With its Great Gatsby vibe, staying here will be an elegant experience. You can enjoy fine dining without ever having to peruse the streets, as this boutique hotel in Louisville is home to the four-star English Grill, as well as J Graham’s Café, where the hot brown sandwich is a must. Summer is wedding season, and the Brown is a go-to if you’d like your big day to feel like taking a step back in time. Want things a bit more modern? Check out the rooftop garden; it’s simply spectacular.

2. 21c Museum Hotel Louisville

Hotel

The exterior of the 21c Museum Hotel Louisville appears surprisingly “normal” for what the inside holds. As a part of a chain of hotels that are both museums and places to stay, it offers a truly unique experience. Each room looks perfectly curated for your Instagram pictures, and the hotel has rotating exhibitions. Every art fan needs to stay here and cultivate their creativity. If Van Gogh was still alive and decided to visit Louisville, this would definitely be his hotspot. The surrounding downtown area combines a mix of hipster and historical vibes – perfect for an inspiring weekend getaway.

3. The Galt House Hotel

Hotel

The Galt House Hotel is pure Louisville and part of the city skyline. It sits directly on the Ohio River, giving guests the best sunsets in the city. A historical icon, it was once the house of a wealthy doctor and became a hotel in the late 1800s. The architecture reflects this – everything is grand and sweeping, ready for a midsummer’s ball or just a really fabulous event. The pool faces the historical Belle of Louisville, offering a phenomenally fun way of exploring the city. But, if the bars sound like a better idea, this swanky venue houses the Swizzle Dinner and Drinks as well as the Jockey Silks Bourbon Bar.
