Decor feels somewhat generic
The upper-middle-range Embassy Suites by Hilton Louisville offers 150
spacious suites with separate living rooms and bedrooms, plus two flat-screen TVs and wet bars in each. The free
cooked-to-order breakfast and free afternoon reception add value, as do the
indoor pool and hot tub. But, it’s in a business park about 20 minutes east
of downtown with no restaurants within a reasonable walk. For a comparable, suites-style hotel with lower rates on many dates,
the nearby, mid-range Homewood Suites Louisville East is an attractive option -- with an outdoor basketball court.

Scene
A chain hotel with a sweeping atrium drawing business travelers
Sporting the classic Embassy-chain look, this hotel has been very well maintained. The lobby’s tan and black tile floors lead to a
shiny, brown lacquer front desk with a grouping of modern pendant lights. A gas
fireplace with blue armchairs and blue patterned carpet sits across from the
front desk, creating a dark and cozy place to relax. But its the bright and airy six-story atrium that's the main attraction. It has tropical plants, a large water fountain, and
several clusters of high-quality black and brown leather sofas, glass tables
across from striped bench seating, and various bar tables. A small, dark wood
bar occupies a back wall with more seating. Guests take advantage of the
abundant and comfortable seating arrangements to enjoy the free breakfast, free
afternoon reception, and simply to relax. This is a weekday business hotel that
sees plenty of couples and families visiting Louisville on weekends.
Location
East of downtown Louisville, surrounded by office buildings
The Embassy is just off busy North Hurstborne Parkway,
between Louisville’s two interstate highway loops (I-265 and I-264) and
surrounded by office buildings. It’s about 20 minutes east of downtown
(driving) and all of its attractions, including the Kentucky International
Conference Center, KFC Yum Center sports arena, Fourth Street Live
entertainment district, Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, and
the Louisville Slugger Field where the Louisville Bats (Cincinnati Reds AAA
affiliate) play. The Fairgrounds also are about
20 minutes driving, as are Louisville International Airport and Churchill Downs.
There are a few restaurants within a 10-minute walk, but that involves
crossing busy roads on foot, so it may be best to reach them via car.
Rooms
Spacious two-room suites with two flat-screen TVs and wet bars
Room options include King Suites with king-size beds, Two Doubles Suites with two double beds, and Executive Suites that offer enough additional space to include a dining table
with six chairs. Suites are clean and spacious with separate bedrooms and
sitting areas that have plush blue sofa beds and blue paisley-patterned chairs. Antique-style framed maps, zigzag-patterned throw pillows, and busy starburst-print carpeting lend energy to otherwise fairly corporate decor. Living rooms also have work desks with media
plug-ins and office chairs, and, like the bedrooms, flat-screen TVs. Small hallway wet bars include microwaves, coffeemakers, and mini-fridges. Decor is the
same in all suites, with black and tan patterned carpet, and dark wood
headboards, night stands, dressers, desks, and coffee tables. Bathrooms are about average
in size with tan granite vanities, standard white shower/tub combos with curtains,
white tile floors, and brown and gold patterned wallpaper. Free Wi-Fi is offered
in all suites, and pets are welcome in select rooms for a surcharge. Views are generally of the parking lot or
surrounding office buildings. Guests report that beds are very comfortable and
rooms are quiet regardless of floor.
