A very nice place to spend our last night of our road trip vacation! The lobby bar area was beautiful! We especially enjoyed our attentive and sweet bar tender, Jodi. The live piano music was also a plus! The hotel overall felt comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in Louisville!

The hotel is a classic! You can feel the 1930's when you walk in. The staff and the history is the highlight. The shuttle service is truly spectacular and the Valet guys are marvelous. Saturday and Sunday the breakfast is top notch. We will definitely be back.

Our stay at The Brown Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported to a time in history that was both elegant and unique. The hotel's timeless, period-style décor is breathtaking—every detail, from the grand chandeliers to the classic furnishings, exudes old-world charm. Our room was beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed, offering a perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort. The staff was absolutely fantastic—gracious, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay memorable. A special highlight was the lovely pianist in the lobby, whose music added an extra touch of warmth and sophistication to the atmosphere. The Brown Hotel is a rare gem that captures a bygone era with grace and authenticity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly distinctive and refined experience.
