The Seelbach Hilton Hotel Review

Beautiful hotel. I love the well kept yet historic atmosphere of this awesome building. The staff are very professional and kind.

My family was in town and we thought it would be interesting to take a tour of the Sealbach. I spoke to Lyndsie at the front desk, she was very professional and courteous. when we got there the historian was at the front desk and ready to go. The tour was excellent, interesting, and educational. The historian had a lot of knowledge about the hotel and has even written a book about it. If you like historic buildings then I would highly recommend a tour of the Sealbach Hotel.

Only used for parking for Thunder Over Louisville, easy access parking.

IT WAS A BIRD IN THE HALLWAY CHASING ME AND MY ROOM DESPERATELY NEEDED A REMODEL. MY BATHROOM WAS AS BIG AS A COAT CLOSET...IT WAS JUST SO MUCH BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS UP TO PAR

Awesome staff. Quaint cozy rooms. Super smart decor. Lots of historical charm.

I came to visit my family while they were staying here. It's very neat and clean. The architecture and building design are beautiful, too.

Lovely place with a nice 1920s style theme to it. Would stay again.

Very historic, beautiful place. Gorgeous. The staff was good. The shuffle driver was awesome. Very prompted and willing to help with whatever is needed

Went for a wedding. It was fun. Has an old school vibe

Love this place! History at every turn. From Al Capone to F Scott Fitzgerald, this place was the go to place in Louisville.

Stay was horrible and no customer service from anyone. Cant even get the GM/reservations personal to answer the phone or return calls. Do not recommend the hotel.

Very neat, historic hotel. Excellent service and wait staff.

I haven't stayed here yet but Lindsay did a great job helping me fix a mistake in my booking! Such a smooth process, fixed in less than 3 minutes

Excellent hotel close to everything you may need of

Great venue. The A.C. was a little shaky though. Make sure you visit down in the basement!

Nice place. Stately. Clean. Classy. Ask for the old books behind the main counter

Not worth the money. This is an elegant, OLD, hotel with nice staff. There is a Starbucks attached to the lobby, valet parking and quick access to 4th street live (lots of great restaurants at walking distance).

NOT PET OR KID FRIENDLY. I mean this, there is no grass for dogs nearby or within reasonable walking distance. The doors are old and you hear everything in the hall (our dog was worried about everyone so if you must stay with a pet ask for a room far from the elevators.. Or try the galt house, they have grass).

Rooms are simple and well decorated but small. Bathrooms are clean but tight (no counter space ladies, a small shelf might fit your brush but not a lot of room to work with).

No pool or hot tub. Small fitness facility. Basement, first floor, and mezzanine are mostly space for events. Please use caution when arriving on weekend evenings as you may find yourself walking past a formal event from parking garage in back to lobby. Check parking fees, it's per day!

Classy establishment. Enjoyed the amenities, service and the Starbucks! Great place to be for a social event.

It's exactly what you would expect from the Seelbach

Love it close to everything. Hard to access street.

the hotel has so much history, we got the chance to listen the stories from the hotel and all this from the person in charge of writing about the hotel, the Historian of the hotel provided great knowledge about the hotel and it was awesome to hear it while having breakfast.

Attended a wonderful wedding here and the staff was very attentive. Awesome bar with tons of bourbon to choose from. Our meal was delicious as well. Lots of neat sightseeing in the area.

Great place. Very fancy. Spacious rooms. Great restaurants for all times of the day. Large bar has 152 bourbons and lots of TVs. Walking distance to all downtown attractions.

Beautiful historic hotel, one of my favorite places to stay in Louisville.

The room is very regal and adorable but small. It was perfect for our weekend getaway. The staff is super friendly and very helpful with answers to all of questions. The only reason I gave less than five stars is because the air conditioning kept turning off and we experienced flashes of heat several times throughout the days/nights.

On a side note though, taking a shower or bath here is so so wonderful. It is a full size tub in a very nice sized, pretty bathroom. They have tons of hot water and I value that so much.

Very elegant place,good good great staff,complete sound overall experience......

Historic hotel with modern updates in a trendy downtown location.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel. Staff was very attentive. Tons of good food and entertainment within walking distance.

Lobby is great, but the rooms are small, bathroom is even smaller. My room was by the elevator and noise from it was higher than I expected. Will probably stay elsewhere next time

Beautiful building, other than that very disappointed. Signature drinks, didn't have the ingredients, snooty waitress. Very disappointed

It's always cool to stay at a local historic hotel, and nice when a brand such as Hilton takes over, that they maintain the historic ambiance of it, while standardizing with brand amenities.

We loved the location of the hotel...you couldn't get closer to the 4th Street Live entertainment 'district' (which is more like a souped up smallish outdoor mall) and an easy enough walk down to Whiskey Row and the river.

Our room (a standard King) was super tiny though...really not a lot of room to put down suitcases...sneeze and you're suddenly in the bathroom. It was hard to get a sense of the historic luxury of this hotel with such a small room.

We've been in grander and much larger hotel lobbies, but this one with its historic and much photographed staircase, and the lobby bar with one of the largest selections of bourbon in the area (and VERY knowledgeable about bourbon servers) held its own in terms of making us feel, a little bit, like we were walking into the past in its glory days.

Make sure to visit the historic rooms on the lower level.

I'm sure we'd stay here again if we were back in Louisville...though we'd do whatever necessary to get a larger room.

(also if you happen to be staying on one of the executive levels where breakfast is included in the special lounge on that floor, know that the buffet in the main restaurant will offer much more to you in terms of food selection.)

I check in to my room on June/7/2019. @ 2:00 pm.the room Was clean ,temperature in the room was 85 degrees. I set the temperature to 75 degree, after on hour it came to 80 degree.i call the front desk,the send technician up to my room ,he change the air filler in the ac,and did some work in the Hall way.it feelers like this working better.th next day the I walked in the room at 11:00 pm, the room was warm.i call the front desk ,I spok the Lyndsey manager on duty.she told me ,she can gave room.i was not willing to change my room at 11:00 pm. She said she has no technaicain until the next day.that is the only thing she can do for me.well if you did call you would fix the ac unit Friday when I check in to my room.i do not know why this place has 5 start. Not for my experience.

Beautiful Art-deco decor, very friendly staff. Rooms are nice, if a bit small.

Room was kinda small,no mini fridge or microwave. But it was fun.

The hotel was beautiful and the room was great. The toilet constantly ran and was noisy because of it. The hot water didn't work when I tried to take a shower at 11 o'clock in the morning. Also, the neighborhood is pretty bad. People begging for money right outside the hotel.

We are currently in the hotel, and it is ideally located and clean. But we are disappointed in the service we have received so far. I called days ago to see if the rooms have microwaves. "No, but you can have one placed in your room if you request one." I asked for the request to be noted on the reservation. "No problem," I was told. But there is no microwave in the room, and none available. The employee that checked us in did not say none were available, although I checked repeatedly, until it was no longer feasible to make alternative arrangements. We were told the desk staff would be able to help us access a microwave, but this morning when we tried - fail! Two of us are here for the Ironman competition. So much for strict meal planning! Grrrrrrr!!!!

We had a work Christmas Party here and it was amazing. Great place to visit and great service! I would definitely recommend the Seelbach as a good venue.

Not my type of hotel, but had a kinda creepy feel to it as soon as we walked in, before knowing the story of the lady on the 10th floor. Lol was kinda cool , but not my favorite.

Beautiful old hotel , but the rooms are rather small and there are few king-sized beds. The bathrooms are VERY small. The service ismediocre at best, as we had to go to the reception desk for extra T. P. and tissue.

Beautiful old hot
hotel that is very well kept.

A classic, historic hotel. The rooms are a bit small but very well renovated. The ornate decor takes you back in time. The bar is classic, and a very good restaurant. If you enjoy history this is a must.

Very nice hotel, great accommodations and I love that it is pet friendly!

Very historically intact hotel. Well kept and interesting place to stay

Staff is wonderful. Ask for the hotel tour. You can admire the beautiful architecture as well as get some interesting history on the hotel and the city. The head of security usually gives them and he is super.

My husband, daughter and I went for drinks and appetizers at the bar before dinner. It's a nice place to meet, upscale. For our budget it was a once to say we did!

Historic hotel with lots of charm, great Christmas party venue!

The historical value alone was enough to make this a great experience.

Had a great time at the Supercon Vip party that was held at Seelbach

Beautiful place, highly recommend checking it out sometime. I would say, our drinks were very poorly made from the bar area though. That was the only dislike.

Parking not marked well and not as described on website then hard to navigate to unlocked entrance. Poorly designed and labeled. Bar lovely lots to choose from.

Great atmosphere, love the history of the building. The staff where amazing, very professional and polite. Had the historic affect along with modern amenities.

Great location and historic hotel. Is starting to show its age some but still a dynamic location and great stay

Really nice hotel and staff. The deposit for each night was a surprise that I wasn't happy about though.

Nice old hotel with courteous staff. Right across the street from all the action!

An absolute classic. Do yourself a favor and ask the front desk about taking a tour! Staff are wonderful.

Cozy, quite, accommodating and well prepared in this pandemic.

Room was a bit small but very nice and clean. Took the guided tour of the hotel. Loved the history!
Staff was very professional a d friendly.

Their signature cocktail is delicious! Beautiful historic hotel.

A hotel that is rich in history and provides all of the modern conveniences. Great downtown Louisville location within walking distance to several restaurants and activities. Rooms were comfortable and staff was great. Make sure during a stay here that you get a guided tour from the historian Larry Johnson, his knowledge of the hotel is amazing.

Great hotel. Friendly staff. Will definitely be staying with The Seelbach again.

Amazing atmosphere, the decor speaks for itself, great history, the best old fashion I've ever had. Don't forget to say hello to the lady in the blue dress.

Historic elegance defines this stately hotel built in the 1920's. The room we had was adequate but not spectacular. The common arras ate beautifully furnished and comfortable.

Historic hotel with great bars and conveniently located to 4th Street attractions

A very nice hotel. There is a ton of history in the hotel and the inside is beautiful. The rooms are a little small but big enough and very nice. The beds are also comfy.

Very classy with a great history that includes Al Capone and the great writer Scott Fitzgerald among its guests

All staff were so welcoming and accomodating of our work meeting and validated our parking so we didn't have to pay for that!

Classic hotel with historic charm. Small rooms but that's part of the history.
