Overall Ratings & Reviews The Brown Hotel

Love the atmosphere. Staff was great and helped us find additional dining and drinking options though we also enjoyed those available on site.

Excellent traditional luxury hotel experience! Food is very good. Location is walking distance to all downtown attractions. Would go back to just stay at hotel!!!

Beautiful, historic property with much grandeur and class. The team excels at customer service. They checked each day to make sure all was going well with our stay. We loved dining at both the restaurant and lobby bar area. One of my favorite properties I’ve stayed in. My husband and I feel very fortunate to have experienced this lovely property.

Palatial building and furnishings with a staff that far exceeds expectations. World class Dining

Great stay

Nice staff, and beautiful and elegant building. The rooms are showing their age, however. Frayed upholstery, chipped and marred furniture, and leak-stained walls and ceilings.

Love the Brown it is a beautiful hotel but the room we stayed in could definitely use an update.

Loved the nostalgia and staff.

Perfection!

This was a very beautiful and historic hotel, very centrally located close to all

A very nice place to spend our last night of our road trip vacation! The lobby bar area was beautiful! We especially enjoyed our attentive and sweet bar tender, Jodi. The live piano music was also a plus! The hotel overall felt comfortable and clean. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in Louisville!

The best part of this stay was the staff. They were so friendly & helpful. The customer service was amazing!

We had a fantastic stay at The Brown! All of the employees were super friendly and helpful! The restaurants and bar made it super easy to meet up with family staying in the hotel. I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel is a classic! You can feel the 1930's when you walk in. The staff and the history is the highlight. The shuttle service is truly spectacular and the Valet guys are marvelous. Saturday and Sunday the breakfast is top notch. We will definitely be back.

Our stay at The Brown Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported to a time in history that was both elegant and unique. The hotel's timeless, period-style décor is breathtaking—every detail, from the grand chandeliers to the classic furnishings, exudes old-world charm. Our room was beautiful, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed, offering a perfect blend of historic character and modern comfort. The staff was absolutely fantastic—gracious, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay memorable. A special highlight was the lovely pianist in the lobby, whose music added an extra touch of warmth and sophistication to the atmosphere. The Brown Hotel is a rare gem that captures a bygone era with grace and authenticity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a truly distinctive and refined experience.

Curtis at the front desk was absolutely amazing. Everyone was friendly and very professional! Property is beautiful.

Gorgeous property. Staff was fantastic. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Excellent stay! Good to know the history of the hotel and city. The location is a few blocks away from the Bourbon Trail, so plan ahead if want to go there.

Always the best
