The DuPont Mansion B&B is an historic treasure with modern amenities. The tall ceilings, ornate fireplaces and carved woodwork look and feel like the circa 1889 Victorian Mansion that it is. Yet the high speed free WiFi throughout the Mansion, flat screen TVs in all guest rooms and Jacuzzi tubs in every bath (two are double) provide luxury beyond anything imagined over a century ago.

This is in a location that enables easy acces to downtown as well as walking the nearby streets to look at the historical houses. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. Some minor issues. We were able to get into the house and find our room but other vistors meandered around the front yard attempting to gain entry. Someone to greet would be a bonus as one couple thought we were the owners? The two course breakfast and presentation was an great experience but personaly we don't eat sweet for breakfast. Each morning we a sweet first and second course. The group beside us (unknown to us) after the first morning requested a savory second course, which we would also have appreciated. But, a great house to visit, bountiful sitting rooms and a good coffee machine.

Vigi and her husband are wonderful hosts, and the Dupont Mansion is beautifully appointed and well-kept. The Edison Room has high ceilings, a comfortable bed, spacious bathroom with shower, jacuzzi tub/complementary bath bomb and decent lighting. The 2nd floor kitchen was stocked with homemade cookies and tea/coffee makers, as well as a washer/dryer. What was most delightful was the delicious breakfast, all made from scratch and locally-sourced. The variety of sweet and savory (and unique food) made for a great experience. Vigi is from India and added some unique flavors in the dishes, while going great lengths to accommodate so many individual food needs and requests. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here or at the Central Inn, which they also own.

This is probably the best B&B in which we've ever stayed. The home is beautiful, and the hospitality is top notch. We stayed in the Grover Cleveland room on the 3rd floor which has a very nice attached bath. Regardless of whether you stay on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you will need to be able to negotiate stairs.

The mansion is beautiful with period furniture & restored woodwork. The breakfast was gourmet & excellent. We stayed during the week of the art fair & the location was perfect, right down the road from the art fair. The only issue was the parking; there are spots in the back of the house, but not enough when all the rooms are full. So you may have to park on the road, in which there is plenty of parking on the road.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this charming bed and breakfast! We stayed in the Alfred DuPont room, and it was incredibly cozy and inviting—the perfect retreat after a long day. The home is full of character, with beautiful details and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. From the delicious breakfast to the thoughtful touches throughout the house, it’s clear they truly care about their guests.

If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway in a unique and historic setting, this is the place to stay. We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay and felt quite at home. Delicious breakfasts in the morning, fresh baked treats and wine in the evening, and water and coffee always available. Classical music in the background. Christopher is a delightful and thoughtful innkeeper. All the rooms are lovely, including the Morgan room where we stayed.

I highly recommend the Dupont.

Pro trip: we paid $225 for the dinner and ghost tour package. We thoroughly enjoyed both. But it turns out the total value of the package is $100 (plus the autographed book by the leader of the ghost walk). We were quite happy with the evening, but might have saved $100 had we booked the tour ourselves.

Thank you so much for taking care of us during our visit to Louisville. My husband and I, along with our son and our daughter-in-law, felt "at home" during our stay at your beautiful B&B. The location to Churchill Downs is why we stayed here, let alone the easy Uber drive from the airport, the local restaurant "Bucks", and more! Christopher, the Innkeeper, went out of his way to accommodate a request from my son - which was greatly appreciated. We will return!!!!! Already booked for September.

This is one of the nicest B & B’s we’ve stayed in. We came to Louisville to experience the charm and hospitality that is so talked about in old Louisville and we’re not disappointed. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the beautiful front door (original to the home) by the Innkeeper, Christopher. We were immediately welcomed into the lovely front parlor and given a bit of history of the home as well as the what to expect during our stay at the mansion. The rooms are tastefully appointed and for an added touch of charm there is a player piano playing as you enter the home.
Christopher then proceeded to escort us to our designated suites and made sure we were satisfied with our accommodations. We stayed in the DuPont Suite. This is the most spacious of all the rooms complete with a whirlpool tub.
The breakfasts were outstanding and also prepared and served by Christopher each morning. There is also complimentary wine placed throughout the mansion to enjoy at your leisure. The outdoor porch at the rear of the home is also nicely furnished to accommodate several guests at a time. The mansion is within walking distance of many local attractions and places to eat. Don’t miss a dinner at Bucks Restaurant, recommended by the owner of the DuPont Mansion, Gail Warren. Gail also arranged for our private tour of the Bourbon Trail with “Travel The Trail” and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with this company as well as with our tour guide, Bob.
Christopher made our stay perfect and was attentive to our every need. Overall, a wonderful trip to Old Louisville.. we will definitely be back.

This is a beautiful home. We stayed for one night as we were passing through Louisville. Comfortable bed, the room was very clean and had everything you need. If you're up before breakfast there is a kitchen on the second floor where a Keurig machine is available to make some coffee. There were water bottles and snacks if you needed them. There was also a large fridge in case you had anything you wanted to keep cold. I can't say enough about Christopher; he was personable and helpful. He had a superb breakfast for the guests in the morning - it was so delicious. There is a nice patio out back if you want to sit outside. It was a great location - quiet. You could walk to a few places. I would not hesitate to stay at the Dupont in the future.

I chose to stay here because it’s close to the university where I was working. Not only is the house absolutely stunning, but the people who work there are more than hospitable. I typically have trouble sleeping, and they were more than accommodating to set me up for a great night sleep. They went above and beyond made the experience personal, and I am very grateful. This is a top notch place!
