The four-pearl Seelbach Hilton is a historic landmark hotel centrally located in downtown Louisville, a short walk to several attractions. The Suites in the hotel’s 321-room inventory are especially spacious and distinctive, but Standard Rooms vary in size and layout, and their traditional decor is lackluster and looks tired. Bathrooms are small as well. Its opulent, fine-dining restaurant and Rookwood Pottery-tiled Rathskeller are truly unique attractions with colorful histories. An attractive alternative could be the nearby Brown Hotel, another upscale, historic property, but expect to pay slightly higher rates to stay there on most dates.

The four-pearl Brown Hotel is a historic property with ornately decorated public spaces and a fine-dining restaurant. Its 293 guest rooms are spacious, comfortable, and tastefully decorated in traditional furnishings, but bathrooms are just average for an upscale hotel at premium rates. The free downtown shuttle helps compensate for being farther away than many other downtown hotels from the city’s many riverfront attractions. While competitively priced with other upscale hotels in the area, there are options worth considering. For a modern hotel near the riverfront and convention center, the Louisville Downtown Marriott is a good choice with comparable amenities and rates.

The four-pearl Louisville Marriott Downtown is a busy yet well-maintained conference hotel connected to the Kentucky International Conference Center in downtown Louisville. Although not luxurious, its 617 rooms are clean, comfortable, generally spacious, and tastefully decorated, with flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. An indoor pool, a whirlpool, and three dining options are attractive on-site amenities. But on-site parking is expensive, and Wi-Fi is only free in public areas, not in rooms. Rates can be expensive on certain dates, but it’s competitive with other upscale business hotels downtown, such as the adjacent Hyatt Regency Louisville, which offers a nearby alternative.
