“The Brown”
My wife and I made a quick last minute reservation and they were very accommodating. We loved being in an historical hotel that was very well maintained. The hotel was beautiful.
“great”
It was a great hotel stay. Check in was easy. The staff was very friendly.
“An event to remember”
When my wife and I attend an event at The Palace, a venue for live events, on Fourth Street in Louisville, we always stay at The Brown since it is only a half-block or so from one to the other. This time, as always, our stay was delightful. Apparently, there were at least two weddings taking place on the Saturday we were there as well as it being the threshold of the Kentucky Derby activities with people being wall to wall, and yet the staff were very kind, cordial and concerned about our well being. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Since we wanted only a snack late Saturday afternoon prior to our attending the performance at The Palace, the kitchen staff was kind enough to split a Kentucky Hot Brown (the hotel's signature food) into two portions for us. The Hot Brown, The Brown Hotel itself, and the staff who make The Brown what it is . . . . a BIG thumbs up!!
“A pleasant surprise”
I had always heard that the brown was a nice hotel. I was lucky enough to have a room on the club floor which included appetizers, wine, beer, etc. in the evening and breakfast in the morning in a very attractive setting.
“Discovering Louisville”
Louisville was about halfway between our night in Akron and the next hotel in Kansas City, MO. We saw the Brown Hotel in a NY Times article and couldn't resist. Through Expedia we got a great price, and it only got better after that. The staff was extremely helpful when we had trouble with our wireless connection and they enthusiastically helped us find a Mediterranean vegetarian restaurant across town that we had heard good things about. When we went for a late walk in the neighborhood of the hotel after dinner, we ended up walking down Fourth Street past a couple of places that were still crowded even on a weekday evening. As we returned down the other side of the street, we ran right into the street corner made famous by Thomas Merton (described in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander). The perfect ending to a perfect day for me.
“Kentucky Charm”
The Brown Hotel is a beautifully restored property conveniently located near major highways, the airport, and Live on 4th entertainment complex. The room was large, well appointed and very comfortable, and staff very accomodating.
“Very nice hotel.”
Very interesting history. Lovely old hotel. Very clean and comfortable. Just a few blocks from restaurants, etc. Staff was as nice as could be.
“Very Happy With The Brown Hotel”
I had an enjoyable experience at the Brown Hotel and will stay there again next time in Louisville !
“Excellent choice in Louisville”
We prefer to stay at hotels that contain a little of the personality of the city we are visiting. The Brown fits that description perfectly.
“Would stay at the Brown again”
I really liked the hotel and the staff are very helpful.
