Beautiful historic hotel. The restaurants and bar were vibrant and friendly. Great bourbon cocktails (if you like bourbon). Good location, friendly staff. Rooms are a bit dated and the hallways have just a hint of musty smell...but that's forgiven considering the age of the hotel.

I had business in Louisville. I could have made it from my location in one day but I enjoy staying at historic hotels. The Brown did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and competent. I had an espcially good waiter in the "Oak Room" as the English Grille is undergoing a renovation until Fall, 2023. I had the broiled crab cake and the shrimp and grits. Both were delicious. For desert I had a Bisontini, which was very good. I also had the Hot Brown in the cafe for breakfast, which also excellent.

While visiting Louisville, we had to stop at the grand Brown Hotel. The lobby is breathtaking. Front desk was very friendly and invited us to view the ballroom, where the chandeliers are over 100 years old. It was lovely. Lunch was in their little cafe on the ground floor, and I have to say that I was expecting better food. While it was fun to dine in this grand hotel, the food was only average.

Extremely disappointed in service. Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location; however, they charge a premium price yet provide a very subpar customer experience. Pay $360 a night to get a room that had a musty smell coming out of the vent and provided zero bottled waters no matter how much you begged and said you would pay. Vending machines either didn't work or were out of waters. Literally had to drink a coke at 1:00am out of a vending machine to have anything to drink.

The Brown’s spacious rooms were refreshing and the bed was soooooo comfy. Seriously, this has been the most comfortable stay of any hotel (for me). The breakfast brunch is top-notch! And you need to spend some time with Alecia at the Brown Cafe bar. She will make you feel right at home. And of course, you have to get a hot brown.

Visited The Brown Hotel recently and the experience was amazing. It’s very historic culture combined with a resort style setting is amazing. Alecia in the cafe is absolutely amazing. She was very knowledgeable of the entire building and recommended the English Grill for dinner. Her and the entire staff is amazing!

Beautiful historic hotel well kept with antique details everywhere one looked. Staff were attentive and professional. I especially loved reading all the hallway frames with stories about men’s fashion and the description of the hotel history through the decades.

Nice clean room, simple and elegant. It's right at the mall, so plenty of food options, although you probably need to know a little Hindi to order. Mall was very busy, lots of honking. 20 minute walk to Metro line which takes to to many heritage sites

This is a beautiful, ornate hotel. Valet parking was available, check in was easy. EVERYONE was friendly and pleasant. A bit after check in the front desk called to make sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in a king room which was very roomy - I was pleasantly surprised given the age of the hotel. The bathroom was a nice size and there was a huge closet. The decor is definitely that of an older hotel - I have read other reviews complaining about that but if the decor was anything else it wouldn’t fit the hotel. We would certainly stay here again.

We stayed a night at the the Brown Hotel enroute home from Branson, MO. The dining staff was exceptional, especially Jamal the waiter. The Maitre D' was accommodating and cheerful. I don't mean this to be a negative, but it seems all older hotels have a musty odor in the rooms, even though the room was very well cleaned kept and cared for. The foyer was decorated beautifully and I would recommend staying and dining at the Brown Hotel.
