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.

The hotel is a beautiful historic building that is need of a ton of deferred maintenance issues. It is disappointing to pay almost $500 per night and see peeling wallpaper, chipped pain on every window and door, dusty blinds and extremely cheap mass produced art and furniture and a VERY sub par mattress.This place could be absolutely amazing if it managed by a team of people who understand attention to details. The food was good and the pianist was a nice touch. In my opinion it is the most over rated hotel I have ever visited.

We attended a wedding at the Brown Hotel where we also stayed. It was the most pleasurable experience in every way. The hotel ambiance is a simple elegance, with lovely accommodations. The food we enjoyed at the lounge, dining room and the wedding was wonderful. (Don't miss their renowned "Hot Browns"). A special note goes to the staff, every one of them. Helpful, courteous, and most pleasant. We are anxious to return this outstanding hotel.

A step into the past with amazing service. Lovely hotel in Louisville. Centrally located. Was not disappointed. Their Bed and Breakfasg package is well worth it . Great buffet brunch on weekends and free valet service.

Genuine, welcoming staff at check-in. Daniel the Concierge/Bellhop/Valet went above & beyond. He is clearly one of the reasons the staff is considered excellent! Historical elegant decor with modern amenities made us feel at home yet, special & connected to something great! Lobby/restaurant piano player was good.
