This elegant hotel offers Kentucky's only 5-star restaurant, The Oak Room. The hotel is gloriously historic and was built in 1905. It's list of guests includes author F. Scott Fitzgerald, and is said to have inspired his book "The Great Gatsby". Al Capone had a secret tunnel under the hotel that he used to escape capture by the FBI when he would visit.

This hotel is a must see when visiting Louisville. Make a reservation for rooms or dining. Be sure to visit with Concierge Larry whom many consider to be the hotel's local historian. He can share stories about famous guests and ghosts.
