The Brown Hotel

The Brown, a historic AAA Four Diamond hotel, features classic English Renaissance architecture and an elegant Georgian Revival style exterior trimmed in stone and terracotta. Its opulent two-story lobby with a hand-painted coffered ceiling, Bottocino marble floor, finely carved mahogany furnishings, and Palladian-style windows were described by a writer from Southern Living, who declares, "I love a grand hotel. I adore sweeping into a lavish lobby that looks as though it came straight from a 1930's movie set." The Brown has been a beloved Louisville landmark and favorite social gathering spot since it opened in 1923, and it was named one of the world's best hotels by Travel + Leisure magazine in 2015.
