Luxury Hotels in Louisville – How to Choose
The Omni Louisville Hotel costs 216 €, The Grady Hotel 224 € and the Hotel Distil Louisville 268 €.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The Omni Louisville Hotel has a category called Premier Executive – a name that carries two tiers in one, where they usually appear separately.
This category is a rarity.
For you that is more than a name – it is a price hint: a category that pulls two tiers together often sits nearer the lower price than the upper. Tell our travel advisors to check it.
Two things for your planning. First: for The Grady Hotel we confirm the minimum stay before you book.
Second, the credit at the Omni Louisville Hotel: 50 US dollars per room, redeemable at five of its own bars and restaurants – Neighborhood Services, Bob’s, The Water Company, the Library Bar and Pin & Proof. On top of that there is a further credit for the spa.
Where to Stay in Louisville: Downtown and Whiskey Row
Our recommendation for the widest choice, for square metres and for the credit: the Omni Louisville Hotel in Downtown.
The Grady HotelOur recommendation for compact rooms whose size is known in advance: The Grady Hotel.
Our recommendation for the loyalty programme and for anything to do with whiskey: the Hotel Distil Louisville.
For orientation: Louisville sits on the Ohio River, across from Indiana. Downtown is compact, and Whiskey Row with its cast-iron façades was once the address of the American bourbon trade – today there are distilleries there again.

The Ohio River, Bourbon and Exclusive Services in a 5-Star Hotel
What our travel advisors arrange most often in Louisville is the day on the bourbon trail – not for the tastings but for the rickhouses: floors of barrels in which the whiskey moves into the wood in summer and back out in winter, and that is what makes the colour.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThen: Churchill Downs with its twin spires, where the Derby has run since 1875; the Louisville Slugger Museum, where the bats are still turned; the Muhammad Ali Center, devoted to the city’s most famous son; Old Louisville with its Victorian streets; and the Big Four Bridge, an old railway crossing you now walk over into Indiana.
And the food, which here has inventions of its own: the Hot Brown, an open sandwich of turkey under Mornay sauce, invented in a hotel of this city in 1926; burgoo, a stew that once took whatever was to hand; Derby pie with walnuts and chocolate; and the mint julep, which needs bourbon, mint and crushed ice and nothing else.
At all three hotels breakfast, an upgrade subject to availability and a late check-out are part of the stay. A welcome gift is added at the Omni Louisville Hotel and the Hotel Distil Louisville.
On breakfast: The Grady Hotel serves a continental breakfast; at the other two it comes without that qualification.
A 50 US dollar hotel credit comes with the Omni Louisville Hotel and The Grady Hotel.
And what makes this destination special: the Premier Executive category is a rarity. Ask us about it – we will tell you what it costs on your dates.
