“The Grady's location near Louisville's museum district makes it a superb home base, while the building's quirky boutique style adds a dash of Southern charm; the Wild Swann restaurant is on site, and focuses on local flavors. What stands out most, though, is the consistent reports of warm, attentive service, which makes this hotel really shine.”
