I loved the beauty and architecture of this hotel. The breakfast was amazing also, I still think about it and I went months ago!

We had a great time at the Brown! Walk into the lobby and you will feel like you are in a different time. We spent awhile walking around looking at everything. The room was very roomy and clean! My husband got anniversary package and there were beautiful fresh roses, champagne, and chocolate covered strawberries in our room when we arrived.... More

If you are a history buff, this is the hotel for you. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and very willing to provide interesting facts about the hotel. The decor brings you back in time, and provides a nice atmosphere. I'm a light sleeper, and noise was an issue for me. I heard every car that passed, and there is... More

This would be a great hotel if I couldn't hear my neighbor's every word and sigh. The rooms on this floor (8) are separated by doors that were never meant to be sound barriers. The awkward room I'm in is long and thin, the television is to the side of the bed and the room looks out over a roof... More

Checking into the hotel took a little long as we noticed that there was only one person on duty. While waiting, we took in the breathtaking Southern antique decor in the lobby. We booked for several nights during our stay for the Kentucky Derby Marathon. Our room overlooked the side street on Broadway. We lucked out as we had a... More

I spent two nights in a room on the club level during a meeting. The room was spacious with a large closet and bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and I was on the back side of the hotel, so I didn't have a view, but it was very quiet. I was surprised that there was no robe in the... More

We booked our room from hotwire.com. From what i could see the rooms normally go for $250 per night. We had a standard room with two twin beds. Check in was quick and hassle free, the staff very friendly and polite. The lobby suits the style of the hotel. However i found the decor in the rooms to be drab... More

The Brown is a historic hotel in downtown Louisville. Walking into the lobby is like walking into the 1920s. Rooms are well appointed, but unique. The hotel has charm but also most modern appointments. Have a Hot Brown while there!

We spent 1 night at The Brown for Thunder of Louisville weekend. It's in a great location- walking distance to 4th street live and all the bars and restaurants, but also far enough away that you don't hear the noise. Staff was very helpful in making our stay so nice. Room was nice and spacious as was the bathroom. Plenty... More

Loved the old-timey feel of this beautiful historic hotel. Very clean, great service, and a good location. We had no issues walking all the way from the hotel down to the waterfront and never felt unsafe - 4th St. Live is just a few blocks away. My only negative comment is that the bed was not nearly as comfortable as... More
