Located in the Bluegrass Country hills, this 4-star Lexington hotel features an 18-hole Rees Jones Par 72 Championship golf course suitable for all skill levels. Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate Golf Resort & Spa houses guest rooms and suites equipped with Tempur-Pedic beds, marble bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs. The property includes multiple dining venues: Bluegrass Bistro serving farm-to-table cuisine, Birdies & Bourbon overlooking the golf course, and a Starbucks café. The resort's amenities encompass a full-service spa offering massages and facials, a sprawling pool complex with cabanas, and a bourbon tasting loft featuring 15 regional selections including Pappy Van Winkle. A 19th-century mansion on the grounds hosts events for up to 200 people.

Pros

Historic 19th-century mansion available for events

Luxury cabanas include TVs, mini-fridges, and ceiling fans

S'mores kits available for use at outdoor fire pits

Cons

“The Marriott Lexington Griffin Gate wins points for its proximity to the Kentucky Horse Park and bourbon distilleries; I also appreciate the blend of resort amenities with regional charm, like the bourbon vending machine. While some may find the spa and dining prices a bit steep, the well-maintained grounds and multiple pools create an appealing, family-friendly atmosphere that's distinctly Lexington. It strikes me as a solid choice for those wanting to mix relaxation with a taste of Kentucky's signature attractions.”
