A very elegant place and conveniently located for our show at the Palace Theatre. We had dinner at a cool place within walking distance, and breakfast at a quaint coffee shop. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

1 night at a beautiful old world hotel
Arrived late, but was still able to have a late dinner at the lobby restaurant. spent family time in the lobby until 12:35 AM. slept well. Next morning, checked out at around10:30. Everyone was very friendly and there were no issues. I do need to mention the ceiling paint in the back of the lobby that was cracked and gaping in several large areas. Really needs to be addressed.

Comfort and convenience at the Brown Hotel
After a warm, full day walking the fossil beds at Falls of the Ohio, I needed a comfortable room, great shower and a top notch on site restaurant to unwind. Found all this and more at the historic Brown Hotel in downtown Louisville. The fossil beds were just minutes from a very comfortable bed and memorable stay at the Brown.

Beautiful Hotel
Excellent stay at the Brown Hotel. Nice location, Beautiful Hotel and restaurant. Loved the rooftop for sunset. Very impressed with all of the staff who made you feel very welcome. Valets were great as well and helpful. Only slight downside for us was that bed was a little firm for our taste. Everything else about this hotel was excellent for us.

Beautiful property, excellent service and food. Unfortunately, the city needs to take care of the surrounding areas. There were lots of homeless and drug-induced people around the hotel. The hotel had security, but beware of parking your vehicle or walking anywhere and being harrassed.
