Property Description
Daily Mandatory Charge includes: 1.5% Tourism Improvement District Fee. The Seelbach Hilton Louisville hotel is the premier luxury hotel since its grand opening in 1905. As a landmark of a "golden era," the Seelbach Hilton Louisville, Kentucky hotel appears on the National Register of Historic Places, and has attracted many famous figures including 1 Duchess, 9 Presidents, 14 Grammy-winning Musical Groups and dozens of Hollywood Celebrities. In fact, our hotel's grand ambiance inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald to use the Seelbach as the backdrop for Tom and Daisy Buchanan's wedding in "The Great Gatsby." Today, the Four-Diamond hotel has completed a $12 million renovation to maintain the elegance of a world class hotel while equipping it with the modern necessities for the new generation. The updates in the guestrooms include new furniture, lighting, carpet, wall treatments and 37-inch high-definition televisions. The fitness center has nearly doubled in size and all of the work stations have been replaced with state-of-the-art equipment by Precor. In the Lobby, the original skylight, which has been covered for the last 50 years, has been restored and "Vegas Style" lighting added to replicate the designed appearance when the hotel opened in 1905. The hotel is also home to The Oakroom, Kentucky's first and only AAA Five-Diamond restaurant. Hand-carved lion's head columns, ornate wood accents and brass chandeliers that are reminiscent of its original gentlemen's-billiards-hall dcor originating around 1907. From lavish weddings and large corporate receptions to intimate board meetings, The Seelbach Hilton's 32,000 square feet of meeting space offers elegant, one-of-a-kind venues for any event. Highlights include...The Rathskeller -- the only surviving, Rookwood-Pottery room in the world and the Grand Ballroom - the site of Tom and Daisy Buchanan's wedding in "The Great Gatsby." Make The Seelbach Hilton Louisville, KY hotel your gateway to Louisville, Kentucky's unique attractions including the Kentucky Derby, 4th Street Live Entertainment Complex, Louisville Slugger Museum, Bourbon Distillery tours and scenic riverboat rides. You will also find the hotel at the center of Louisville's arts and culture community. Be a part of history, from 1905 to today. Book your next stay at The Seelbach Hilton Louisville.

The hotel was clean and everyone was friendly. The bed was very comfortable. House keeping came everyday, which was nice. The restaurant onsite had the best food in town.

Fun stay at the Seelbach! Step back in time at this vintage well kept swanky hotel. The history was amazing! The staff was always nice and accommodating. The rooms were decent size. The bedding was soft and comfy. I enjoyed the turn down every day. We had to ask for small fridge for meds. There was daily coffee in the market place on ground floor. It’s easy walking distance to most downtown attractions. The restaurant breakfast brunch is just okay. The Restaurant Bar had excellent food and beverages and had a good crowd on the weekend.

Always loved this place! Never disappointed. Promer's were everywhere Friday night. Derby party Saturday night. 50's must of been popular. Only 21k plus showed up this year. Friday night little loud at times. 👍 Would do it all again. Was in town for Wife's first Christmas gift. Brooks & Dunn.

Really nice hotel with lots of history. Exceptional staff. I highly recommend that you request a room with a normal bathroom. Ours was what they call “tiny.” We didn’t know that when we checked in. If you are 6’ or taller, you could not sit straight on the toilet without your knees pushed up to your chest. If you are a large person, there’s no way you could get in the shower.

This is a beautiful Hotel. While the property is wonderful the staff is even better! We had a couple of special requests and they didn't blink an eye. A special shout out to Robert! I think he lives there because we saw him in the morning, mid day and evening. Thanks for taking good care of my special cargo.
