Recently stayed at the Brown for 4 nights. This hotel is a complete disappointment...and what others have called charm and elegance is nothing more than a run down hotel in need of tremendous repair. While the public spaces (lobby, bar, restaurants) are very nice and elegantly appointed, the rooms are another story. With the exception of the bathroom - the... more

We chose this hotel based on other posative reviews, and were not disappointed. We had some concerns about the parking situation, but the adjacent garage is connected to the hotel by a walkway and very easy to use. We had a "luxury" room and were pleased with everything. The breakfast was excellent, although a little more expensive than one would... more

Would recommend to anyone, this is a great hotel, in a nice location. I could walk everywhere in downtown Louisville. As a rule of thumb I enjoy staying in hotels that match the personality of the city (rather than a chain although if you must stay in a chain then the marriot is the way to go). Anyhow back to... more

Not only is the decor just beautiful with such attention to detail, but the service, particularly at The English Grill and in the Bar was outstanding. And the food...oh my goodness! The absolute best pork tenderloin we have EVER eaten! Just amazing! And... more

The hallways smelled amazing....they must pump some scent through... more

The Brown is an historic hotel located in the heart of downtown Louisville, a few blocks from the always fun 3rd Street Live bars and restaurants. The service is always excellent and the rooms are very nice, albeit dated (but it is an historic hotel). Clean and comfortable. The exercise room is efficient and do not have any compliants. more

The hotel was nice and the staff was friendly. The problem was that they charge 18 dollars a night to park there. My wife and I inquired about validating the parking and the staff said it was a public garage and there was nothing they could do and that the staff had to pay to park there as well. It... more

We hosted our recent wedding reception at the Brown, and it was truly perfect in every way. Our goal was to give our many out-of-town guests the quintessential Louisville experience, and the Brown exceeded our expectations. As a Louisville native, I knew it to be elegant and sophisticated, with one of the best restaurants in the city - and of... more
