“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.”
