We had a great stay at the Seelbach in Louisville. The staff was very friendly from the valet and bell staff as we arrived, to our check -in at the front desk. The room was clean, and the housekeping staff even checked with us to see if we needed anything more, after we checked in. Our experince at the "old... More

This past weekend I spent a night in the presidential suite (room 930). Our experience at the Seelbach was superb. The Seelbach has one of the most gorgeous lobbies I have seen. The complimentary shuttle picked us up at the airport right on time. The staff was friendly and knowledgable of the hotel's history. The Concierge Lounge/Bar was excellent as... More

Website pictures are very misleading concerning the rooms. My room barely fit a queen bed and you could barely move around in the bathroom. I would definitely ask at check-in the size of the room you are getting. Your best bet is to stay at the Marriott or the Hyatt where you know what you will be getting. I only... More

Stayed here for a wedding in May and it was a great experience. Beautiful hotel in a FANTASTIC location. It is a great hotel to wander through and Fitzgerald mentions it in "The Great Gatsby" as the locale for Daisy's wedding. Parking was expensive, but to be expected in a central downtown location. The hotel bar was good and on... More

We checked in on a Saturday and left on a Monday. They allowed us late check-out. We payed with HIltonHonors points (35K per night). Check-in Got here after a long ride and, unfortunately, the check-in desk was packed. There were two guys dealing with customers, but one of the customers was really upset about something. The other guy dealt with... More

We stopped at the Seelbach on our way back home, it was a beautiful hotel! We ended up booking the 7th floor which is a privately accessed floor, the room was huge and beautiful. The staff was friendly and encouraged us to tour the hotel, we took advantaged of this and toured it all the way down to the rathskeller... More

Recently returned there from a weekend wedding. I have never felt less welcome anywhere else. From the time of check in, to our tiny tiny room with no AC (150 bucks per night), from the horrible bartenders, to the all the staff general. The parking was a nightmare and although it was labeled Seelbach Hotel Parking and states it is... More

I was thoroughly impressed with the Seelbach Hotel. It is a historic hotel, but that does not equate to shabby or rundown. I had several rooms booked and each was different, which I thought added character, one room was gigantic, with an itty bitty bathroom, the others were average size, average bathroom size. All clean and all seemed to have... More

Thank you for taking the time to describe what we are most proud of at the Seelbach. Our historic hotel does offer many unique rooms that gives it charm that many newer hotels cannot replicate. We are even more proud of the service you describe. Our service experts focus on exceeding guest expectations daily. I was pleased to see they... More

The hotel is very nice and I know this is a small issue but it just irritated me. They change an extra $5 to park an SUV. This is my third stay in downtown Louisville and this is the first time I’ve been charged extra.

Thank you for the positive feedback about the hotel, but I certainly do not like to hear that parking charges will keep you from returning. Our valet team parks cars that fit into the parking garage behind our hotel at standard pricing. When a car or truck is too tall or wide for the garage, we resource a flat surface... More

Had a wonderful stay at the Seelbach in Mid May 2012. I am a HHONORS Diamond member so I was upgraded to a wonderful Jr. Suite on the 9th floor. I also got the key to the 7th floor executive lounge.

Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts on Tripadvisor. We recognize you have plenty of experiences to compare us to as a Diamond member within Hilton's frequent traveler program. You are at the peak of all travelers, and therefore your commentary makes us feel very good. To be a Diamond member means you probably stay at Hilton... More
