The essence of Louisville is woven throughout with interior design blending elements of the city’s heritage, culture, and character, felt everywhere from the hotel restaurants to a featured bourbon bar, a Speakeasy, and a bowling alley.

Guests can also enjoy a dynamic 20,000 square foot urban food hall and market connected to the hotel lobby. Transforming Liberty Street into a pedestrian thoroughfare, the market serves as a community gateway for hotel guests and locals alike, inviting the neighborhood in with the smells of freshly brewed Heine Brothers’ coffee, baked bread, and smoked barbecue.
