Louisville, KY
What are the best hotels to stay at in this city? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I want to be at Churchill on my 21rst birthday watching the beautiful Thoroughbreds gallop down the stretch.

I live in Louisville, but only for just over a year now...You really can't go wrong as long as you stay towards the eastern part of the city...I would look at finding a hotel just off I-264 (the Watterson Expressway) because that is the easiest thoroughway to get to the track...as for the Exits, I would say that Taylorsville Rd. or Shelbyville Rd. would be 2 exits about 10 minutes away from the track that are easy/convenient to get around and are in a good part of town.
Blankenbaker is another street on the east side that hs a lot of good hotels on it but its furtehr away from the track...15-20 minutes..but, it will be on your way in if you're driving from North Carloina on I-64.....Hurstborne is also another up-and-coming part of town with a lot of great, newer hotels to stay in... I'm assuming that you're looking for hotels like Holiday Inn, Radisson, etc. at around 75-150 bucks/night.....if you want higher class hotels, then there are some nice places in the middle of down town on 4th street that are nicer and will probably run you a couple of hundred bucks/night. Hope this helps out... |

Good point. I figured since you're turning 21, you may want to be close to the party spot, so Hyatt is right there @ 4th St. If Accessability to the track is what you want, then there are nice spots off I-264 like mentioned above. I got a nice room at the Hyatt last summer on a Saturday night that I booked that week and it was only $125 for the night. It just depends on when you are comming.

I might can talk some of my friends into coming with me, or I may come alone. The problem with living here in North Caroline is that no one that I know in my area follows racing. No one at my barn follows it. In fact, the only reason I post on this board so much is because I don't have anyone to talk horses with, and that is all I think about. I would love to meet some of you all in the Louisville, and talk ponies with you all for about a week. I know how to have a good time that is for sure, although I don't know how much partying I'll be doing. Thanks for the info.

I would stay at the Seelbach before I would stay at the Hyatt. Of course you are going to have to pay a little more for downtown than anywhere else. I would stay at the Holiday Inn on 2nd and Broadway. That way you are close to the Churchill--close to the two night spots of The Highlands and 4th Street Live. Let me know when you are coming to Louisville and maybe my wife and I will meet up with you and we can take you on the backside.

i remember staying at the holiday inn downtown on broadway. really nice staff. one of the drivers basically drove me wherever i wanted as i had no car. I was just there on a whim for 2 days as I wanted to see churchill downs. i remember one night ending up in such a sleazy pub a block away from the hotel with some randomers i met in a restaurant downtown (think it was cunninghams!?!) anyway, Louisvilles prob my third fav city in the states, i was pleasantly surprised with it, Ill be heading back there for the BC!!
