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!

Went specifically for the Hot Brown that we had heard was a unique dish created by The Brown Hotel. Some of us got the petite and some got the full. Didn't see much difference except a piece of bacon and the bread.

While we did not stay at The Brown, we had The Brown in the restaurant, it is worth the hype! The lobby areas of the hotel are just amazing!

My wife and I went to the Brown Hotel on May 8, 2026 and ordered the Hot Brown. We were served by two very friendly and gracious servers, one, I didn't get her name but she was from Kenya and we said: "How are you" in hr native tongue!" The second server is name Emir. He took time in sharing with us about the Hot Brown and brought us the recipe in cooking it. As a result of their representation of the Brown Hotel, we intend in telling others about this Hotel and the gracious service they provide . . . and how delicious the Hot Brown is!
