BEST HOTEL IN YEARS
Impeccable experience! We felt like we were staying in the highest caliber hotel in New York. Every attention to detail was made-- beautiful hotel with gorgeous rooms (real wood for once-- not that cheap faux wood), friendly staff-- too many good things to say. Will definitely come back again.

Great stay!
This is a very nice boutique hotel- very well designed. It smells amazing. I was very happy with everything. I slept really well- the bed and pillows were comfortable. It was very clean. The restaurant was pretty good, albeit a little pricey. The only thing I didn't love is the rain shower- I'm just not a fan of a showerhead right above your head. I prefer an angled one, but this is just a personal preference.

Lovely hotel however the beds are awful. Not good mattresses at all. Valets ignored texts to retrieve vehicle multiple times after being instructed to use the texting to get car. Website says free parking. It’s not, you have choice of public lot for $22 a day or valet $24 a day. I consider that a bait and switch. Only a kettle in room to make instant coffee or tea. Shower was awful, no water pressure at all. Way over priced for Lexington KY and for what you get. If you are only interested in looks it’s great but that’s the only good thing about this hotel.

The hotel was really gorgeous. The rooms, bars, and decor was truly fabulous. There were so many options, we didn’t have to leave the hotel for anything from coffee to cocktails. Our complaint was that the outlets didn’t hold our chargers or hair tools bc they were too big.

Beautiful gem in Lexington
The hotel was beautiful, immaculately laid out, clean and felt like I was in a gentleman’s lodge with all the bourbon and decor which had been well thought out. If I’m ever in this part of the world again, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay. Staff were friendly and eager to help.
