This review is for the art work only. I did NOT stay or dine here. Walked in and was kindly greeted by the front desk staff that encouraged me to peruse the art work over a few floors. It was excellent, and I highly encourage you to stop in to see it! Handicap accessible, and you'll need about 1 hour. Enjoy

Yet another good stay in 21C Museum Hotel.. Really good 1 night stay on business. Not surprising, considering my other 21C stays (Nashville, Chicago, KS, Raleigh). Well located, thought provoking art installations were expected, a given, as I would say. Service was cheerful and friendly. Nice and cool restaurant and bar Proof on Main with very decent breakfast, good meal in the bar, and trendy cocktails and wines. Heavy on Bourbon, as expected. Rooms were clean and spacious with plenty of amenities. Appreciated Accor Platinum upgrade too. All in all quite a good stay, perhaps without a wow factor, but no complaints!

Stayed Fri and Sat nights in an atrium room. Fri night was fine. Saturday night they had an event with a live band on the main floor playing until 11pm. Extremely loud music crashing up the 4-story atrium and into our room. Making sleep impossible. This hotel cares not for its guests. Stay elsewhere. Update: Since writing the post above, things got worse, but then better. After the band stopped at 11pm, the guests at the event had a loud afterparty until 1am in two rooms on our floor (and in the hallway moving between them). However, in the morning, the hotel management did everything they could to make amends for the situation. They comped our room, gave us a free future night’s stay, and said the situation would be addressed internally. Hopefully, future guests will not have to go through the same thing again. …

If you are looking for a quirky boutique hotel with friendly staff, this is the one. 21c is also an art gallery with fun and excellent art. The hotel has big rooms and large spaces to wander around admiring the paintings

Sometimes a little stay at a hotel fills your cup after a season of loss. My daughter and I spent her next-to-last night of Winter Break here to celebrate my birthday and a new season of life. It was perfect. Great room. Great service. Incredible art. Favorite food from an absolute favorite restaurant. I’m so full of gratitude! My daughter and her lovey bunny agree.

Our stay was delightful. There is an interesting art museum on the lobby level and below. A key card is used to access other floors in the hotel so we felt quite safe. The rooms are spacious, clean and nicely decorated. Everything was in good functioning order. The black lights in the bathroom were a fun touch!

We didn't stay at the hotel, we just visited their free museum. Out front is a gold 30 ft tall David inspred by Michelangelo. Inside we were free to wander through the multi level museum and enjoy the contemporary artwork at our own pace. The exhibits rotate and there were some very interesting and fun pieces for our visit. if you are on Museum Row while visiting in Louisville I would recommend visiting 21c Museum Hotel. Maybe next visit we will stay at the hotel.

We have stayed at several 21c hotels but this one was memorable. The level of service from the whole team was amazing. Most especially Emily at the front desk. The room was spectacular. Such a treat to visit the original 21c, I believe.

This is the only place I stay in Louisville! Extremely comfortable rooms with great bath products, nespresso machine, room service and thoughtful layouts. Note that while the rooms do have a small table there is not a work desk. The restaurant and bar are fun and have hundreds of bourbons to try. There is original artwork throughout the hotel and the museum/ gallery section of the hotel always has a provocative show. Convenient location downtown. I would love to see the hotel use less single use plastic. Always a great stay!
