Located in the heart of Theatre Square in downtown Louisville, The Brown Hotel delights guests with the warmth of Southern hospitality and the breathtaking opulence of classical and renaissance design. This 293-room hotel will tempt you into drifting off in the comfort of a dreamy feather bed, complete with Egyptian cotton linens and goose down duvet, or a relaxing bath surrounded by fine Spanish marble. Enticing and luxurious as this may be, The Brown Hotel - and Louisville - have much more to offer than a great night's rest. Imagine a night of fantastic entertainment, world-class cuisine, and that classic regional charm, and you may conjure an image of your time at this fantastic retreat.

Hotel rooms stink, smell like old spice……definitely won’t return. This is not a Luxury hotel at all, needs total Renovation!

We chose the Brown Hotel because of its historic charm and significance, and we were not disappointed. Kerrise Perry at the front desk was exceptional. She was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the best value for our stay and made sure we had everything we needed for an exceptional visit. If you’re looking for outstanding hospitality in Louisville, I highly recommend The Brown Hotel. We’ll absolutely stay here again, and I hope Kerrise receives the recognition she deserves for providing such excellent guest service.

Very disappointed. The shower clogged, the coffee maker spit out chunks of black junk. Told them when we checkout. The young lady was ruse and dismissive. Will not go back next month.

Anna really made our stay amazing. She owns the customer experience.

From the moment you are greeted by the doormen to the prompt checkin at the front desk, The Historic Brown hotel exemplifies Southern hospitality! Lee with security was amazing and helpful and Anna at the front desk was friendly and professional! The sleeping rooms are exceptionally large for a historic hotel! The hotel itself is pristine and comfortable! I had the pleasure of working with Louise, the Director of Catering, on an event and she is exceptional! The Crystal Ballroom is iconic and exquisite with the original chandeliers! The perfect setting for a social or corporate event! The Kentucky charm of the Brown hotel makes it the perfect choice for Louisville!
