The Seelbach Hilton Louisville, Louisville

The Seelbach is a really old, grand hotel that looks great compared to the new hotels built today. The lobby looks like something you would see in a movie. However, it has been my experience that the really old hotels have really small rooms, poor ventilation, and the bathroom was usually an afterthought or add-on. Such was true of the Seelbach. We had a room with two double beds and they nearly touched each other. The room was a little musty (old hotel smell) and we alternated between freezing and burning up. The bathroom was the smallest bathroom I've ever seen, anywhere, but everything was clean and neat. It's very near the Fourth Street live section, within easy walking distance. There are enough tourists, so the streets are safe, even at night. We had some folks next door that left their kids in the room while that went out. The kids got so rowdy we finally had to call the manager, twice. Finally an adult showed up. We could overhear the manager, the second time, tell them if he had to come back up there, they would have to leave. This was our first night of two. I went the next morning to the manager and they moved us to another room (my insistence) and gave me a certificate for a free night (their choice). They were very nice and apologetic. I appreciate that. Overall, it was good and bad. I would probably look for another place. The ambience wasn't worth the small room and rowdy section of town.

The Seelbach Hotel is where the traveler looking for an untypical hotel should stay. It dates back to the late 1800's and has a history from being owned by the Seelbach brothers, to fires, floods, and even a period with Al Capone being a regular and having secret pathway out from the Oakroom restaurant. We did dine there and it was very delicious, upscale and gourmet. The murals on the walls in the entrance were breathtaking and the service staff quick and aware. The rooms could use an update yet they were clean and I could overlook that from the experience of the whole hotel. It is downtown and right across from an entertainment venue Fifth Street Live which was very active. Highly recommended.

The Seelbach is an historic hotel in downtown Louisville. It’s located just down the block from a row of restaurants and bars. Parking/Valet is as high as you would expect in a major city. I didn’t eat at the restaurants or go to the spa, but did go to the bar for a few drinks. We had a big party and it was a week night, but the wait staff was pretty quick. The rooms are small, but it’s an old, historic hotel so there should be no suprise. Overall, it was a nice hotel. I’d go back again.

Small rooms for price valet Parking was 23.00/19.00 self park per day internet $10 day Convenient for dining and entertainment. Good spa They also have an airport shuttle.

You can feel the history of the hotel when you walk into the entrance and see the rooms. The room I stayed in was actually a little small, but still charming. The bathroom was suprisingly a normal size, i expected much smaller and the staff I dealt with were all nice and coouteous. I think that there could be a few minor changes. The desk staff were all kind, but most were not forthcoming with information unless asked, the walls are a tad thin, so light sleepers may have issues and parking does not seem to be easy. Everything else was wonderful and I would stay there again.

Yes, this is a historic hotel, but because of that the rooms are very small and overpriced. If you have allergies, stay away. The rooms are very "musty" and the location is in a rough area. It's a great museum, but I will not stay overnight there again. At least I received Hilton Honors points....

I loved everything from the arrival to the departure.The rooms were excellent as well as the staff and overall atmosphere of the hotel. Thank You all for making our stay so wonderful,we'll be back time and time again!

it was very good it had good tilots and very good room sevisos you should alow pets in so that more people that have pets can come.
