Reviews

The staff was pleasant and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. Food choices were great.
-
Great hotel and location! Love the design of the hotel. Rooms were large and so was the closet. Hot water was not so hot and the shower drain was clogged. Other than that would stay here again.
-
It was like traveling back in time, With an elegance lost in many modern hotels. The Brown has a luxury hotel feel and doesn’t compromise modern amenities so that our stay could be very comfortable.

Beautiful vintage vibe. Nicely updated and spacious rooms. We walked a lot after dark and felt fairly safe but the area near the hotel is a little rough.

Meticulously restored historical building creates the experience of stepping back in time . Free airport shuttle- just call the front desk when you are picking up your luggage at baggage claim. Also literally just around the block from Louisville Palace, if you are flying in to see a show there this is the best place to stay. Perfect water pressure and temperature in the bathrooms. I can’t think of any detail that would fit in the category of ‘dislike’. Everyone and everything was just lovely!

The restaurants and bar had outstanding service and delicious food. All hotel staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The beautiful historic lobby is so nice to enjoy. The location is very convenient for The Palace.

Beautiful hotel. If you park in the parking garage it is quite a walk from there to the check-in carrying your luggage. It would be great to have staff nearby ready to assist.

We enjoyed our one night stay. Staff were courteous and helpful. The Hot Brown Dip was so good!! Rooms are nice for the age of the hotel.
