“unique hotel with very comfortable beds”

Reviewed yesterday NEW

We stayed here last night and it was very nice. The rooms have a very "loft-like" feel, spacious, high ceilings, with very comfortable beds. The hotel itself is very unique and neat. The restaurant is wonderful!

“Anniversary Vacation ”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW via mobile

This was a very cool set-up, with free admission to exhibits and a self-guided tour. We were able to take our time in areas that we were more interested in, and move quickly through the rooms that weren't all that appealing. The exhibits were multiple mediums, including sculptures, photos, and paintings. The varied subject matter made it appealing to multiple... More

We didn't stay here, but loved the galleries' art works. The hotel looked great! Maybe we'll stay here another time. There's a lovely restaurant and bar that has inside and outside seating. The menu looks interesting and is highly rated by locals. Maybe, I'll stay here another time; I'd like to stay here! It's on Main Street, which is a... More

Hi JudyBethesda_MD, I am thrilled to see you enjoyed the museum portion of 21c! Please visit soon to enjoy the hotel part. Might I suggest the 'Asleep in the Cyclone'? If art is what you desire, what better way to enjoy than to sleep in our very own art installation room! Hope to see you soon! -Rachel More

“Unique Hotel in a great part of town! ”

This hotel is ideally located downtown close to great restaurants and by the river. We walked to the waterfront park to see Chris Stapleton as a last minute decision! It was incredible. The restaurant Proof was exceptional food and great atmosphere!

“Unique, fun hotel”

We stayed one night while on a family road trip with a 3 year-old and an infant. We loved the modern art museum within the hotel. The Al Farrow exhibition "Wrath and Reverence" was a favorite. It is difficult to stop at art museums when road tripping with littles -- this was much appreciated by my husband and me. We... More

Hi abwoli! I am so happy to see that you chose to stay with us even though the thought of a museum might appear difficult. We embrace all guest (Big and Small) and love to accommodate! Might I suggest a tipi tent in room the next time you stay? OR maybe milk and cookies? Making the littles trip as memorable... More

“Great boutique hotel and museum”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago

We stayed at the 21C Museum Hotel in Lexington so this was a no brainier. The building is historic and the rooms modern. It is centrally located near the river and most attraction. Ike who checked us in was full of great suggestions and extremely helpful.

Thank RusPat_704

Ah, RusPat_704, a repeat offender! The combination of original exposed brick, contemporary art, and modern room designs, really set us apart! I hope to see you continue the trend and see more of our properties. (But most importantly, come back to the Red Penguins of Louisville) -Rachel More

Love this place! First of all the overall experience is inspiring. From the moment you walk in your creative senses are triggered. They have a thing for large pink penguins and they are scattered round the hotel. There was one on our floor that moved around. In terms of the room, there wasn't a view as we looked out onto...
