The Experience

A hotel guests remember

Strong numbers start with a stay people talk about. The hotel was built around a clear identity, and it shows in every room, bar, and rooftop corner.

Signature bourbon cocktail
Rooted in Bourbon Heritage
The signature bourbon bar pours Kentucky’s most famous spirit in a warm, refined room. It gives guests a reason to stay in for the night, and locals a reason to come by.
Signature bourbon cocktail
France Meets Kentucky
The design blends French tradition with the spirit of Louisville. That mix runs from the name on the door to the menus, the art, and the rooms themselves.
Signature bourbon cocktail
A Rooftop Above the City
The pool, lounge, and rooftop bar look out over downtown and the river. In season, it is one of the most sought-after spots in the city.

Bourré Bonne roughly translates to a good bet. It is a wink at Louisville’s horse racing heritage, and a nod to the French roots of bourbon itself.
