What if your favorite contemporary art gallery let you sleep over...in a great bed...with a superb kitchen downstairs with tons of unique Bourbons in the cabinet? Sign me up pronto- right? Well 21c is just that. It's basically an art museum in downtown Louisville that doubles as a a hotel. Proof is the restaurant and it is equally awesome. I... More

Overall very good experience. A little pricy for a city the size of Louisville. Bathrooms in standard rooms should be larger or at least more luxurious (only one sink, small tub). Art was cool and Proof was a great dining experience.

Being originally from Kentucky, and having lived in Louisville, I was looking forward to visiting the 21c. They are building one in Cincinnati as well, which is slated to open in late 2012. The concept is cool, from the video of you near the elevators, to the art, to the weird red penguins to the slightly offensive mannequins above the... More

From the efficient, warm welcome to the exceptional comfort, this hotel more than met my expectations. It is located in what looks like a former bourbon warehouse, so there are exposed bricks and beams throughout. My room was spacious and well appointed. Loved the great shower and the yummy robes. Not the typical white terry cloth you find in most... More

Spent Easter weekend in a suite at 21c. Have to say that it was one of the most memorable stays of late - location is perfect (removed from the brash 4th Street Live!, yet close to the river walkway, museums, and plenty of dining), check-in was without a doubt the best I've ever experienced, the room size was substantial with...

I was pleasantly surprised by the stylishness and world class standards of this hotel. Beautiful building filled with contemporary art to keep your mind and conversation occupied, but unlike some arty minimalist hotels, the rooms are very comfy. In fact this was one of my favorite recent hotel rooms.(have stayed in about 100 in past year) It was large with... More

I'm a repeat guest at 21c and can't imagine staying anywhere else in Louisville. The hotel rooms are spotless and sophisticated. The hotel staff is extremely customer service oriented. This morning, one of the front desk staff bailed me our in a work emergency situation. She printed out 20 copies of a multipage presentation that I couldn't get to print,... More

I frequently stay in Louisville and normally stay at the Sheraton Louisville Riverside Hotel located in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Not sure why it's called the Sheraton Louisville Riverside when the hotel located in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I wanted to try something new and different so decided to stay at the 21C Museum Hotel in downtown Louisville. If I could capture 21C Museum... More

I think one of the best features of the hotel was Proof, the swanky but friendly bar inside the hotel. Great bourbon and beer options. The room was different: very industrial and hip. Loved the free chocolates and water bottles and friendly staff. We also took advantage of free parking NOT at the hotel, but at a nearby parking garage... More
