I love this hotel. It's a Louisville landmark and institution. Home to two restaurant s, including The Oak Room, which is the only AAA Five Diamond Restaurant in the tri-state area, which is an experience in itself. It is also home to The Olde Seelbach Bar, which makes a great Mint Julip and where people such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, George Remus, etc. have had drinks. The architecture is beautiful and the rooms are very clean. There are many banquet areas for your wedding, but the main hall is the Rathskeller, which is a very ornate Bavarian Rookwood Pottery featuring the signs of the Zodiac on the ceiling. banquet hall People complain about rooms being too small, but for a downtown hotel, I think the rooms are a decent size, especially compared to New York City or Paris. The only thing missing is a swimming pool, which didn't affect me but affects ratings. Service is outstanding. Definitely worth a stay (even if you are a local) of you love classic, historic hotels.
