The Seelbach Hilton Louisville - A historic National Register hotel with grand ballrooms, bourbon bar, and downtown location

Dating back to the early 1900s, The Seelbach Hilton features 321 rooms and suites across its historic property. The Louisville hotel houses multiple dining venues including Gatsby's on Fourth restaurant and the Old Seelbach Bar, featuring over 240 bourbons and Kentucky-inspired cuisine. Four grand ballrooms span 32000 square feet of event space, including the 8678-square-foot Medallion Ballroom and the unique Rathskeller room constructed of rare Rookwood Pottery in 1907. Two business centers provide complete support services with high-speed internet access throughout. The property includes a fitness center and offers 24-hour valet parking. A complimentary shuttle service operates to Louisville International Airport from 7 AM to 11 PM daily. Located in downtown, the Seelbach sits within walking distance to the Kentucky International Convention Center, KFC Yum Center, and Fourth Street Live entertainment complex.

Pros

Historic architectural details including marble from around the world, French bronzes, and West Indies hardwoods

Legendary connections to F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Al Capone's secret passageways

Award-winning catering team serving events from 5 to 650 people

Cons

Airport shuttle service ends at 11 PM

Location between busy thoroughfares can mean street noise

“The Seelbach Hilton Louisville impresses with its rich history and architecture, particularly the Rookwood Pottery details. I appreciate its prime location for exploring Louisville's attractions and dining scene, and its service clearly aims for a high standard. Its connection to F. Scott Fitzgerald and reported Al Capone lore certainly add a unique dimension.”
