THE BIGGEST SMALL TOWN YOU’LL EVER MEET; LOUISVILLE KY

Stop and smell the magnolias in Louisville, KY, where Southern charm and a hip downtown restaurant scene combine to make a city as unique as the mint juleps it’s known for. Saddle up for a day at the thoroughbred tracks, or tie one on at a bourbon distillery. Take a stroll by the Ohio River for a picture-perfect afternoon. Set your toes to tapping at a live bluegrass show, and don’t forget to pack some napkins for a finger licking fried chicken feast. Hospitality can’t be beat at Louisville hotels with quite possibly the friendliest people you’ll meet. Everyone knows life slows down in the South, so change gears to a more relaxed pace of life, and get ready to unwind Southern-style at some of the best hotels in the country.

OFF TO THE RACES

Party like it’s 1899 at Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby for over 100 years. The bigger the better when you don your most flamboyant hat to watch the pageantry. Horses prance in their padlocks, and a trumpet blares as money changes hands at the most exciting two minutes in sports. Wear your Sunday best back to one of several luxury hotels near Churchill Downs. The Brown Hotel won’t disappoint for a taste of the good life with its large rooms and opulent furnishings. A classic Southern antique-style hotel, you will be sitting in the lap of luxury as you look up at its sparkling chandeliers from a resplendent lobby.

The official hotel of the Kentucky Derby, you will be in good hands on Derby day. Whatever your hotel choice in Louisville, be sure to book well ahead of the second Saturday in May to ensure the best deals.
