One of the more unique hotels to be found in both downtown Louisville and across the U.S., Louisville Hotels’ 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville is the first of its kind. It’s a hybrid of a 91-room boutique hotel and multi-venue contemporary art museum.
Visitors are drawn to the collection of 19th-century art. More than 9,000 sq. ft of exhibition space feature striking artwork across multiple galleries. Pieces include a replica of David, Fallen Fruit: The Practices of Everyday Life, and Asleep in the Cyclone.
Each piece of art in the 21c Museum complements the modern aesthetics of the property’s 91 rooms. Ten different types of lodging provide guests with a choice, whether they’re looking for something spacious and cozy or need plenty of room for a group of people. All rooms come with complimentary WiFi, a 42” flat-screen TV, Nespresso coffee machine, and original artwork. The Rooftop Apartment provides panoramic views of Louisville and plenty of outdoor lounging.
21c Museum and Hotel allows guests to dine in a casual environment surrounded by 19th-century art. Proof on Main features menus for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch and has more than 120-plus Kentucky Bourbons.
Boisterous Louisville is right outside the 21c Museum and Hotel’s door. Guests can get lost in the many attractions of the city, including the Muhammad Ali Center, Churchill Downs, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, and Museum Row.
This unique pairing of museum and hotel is a space of luxury and contemporary offerings for travelers wanting a taste of all that Louisville has to offer.

Pros. 21C is an awesome bar/restaurant/gallery/hotel. We were excited to stay there on our first night of marriage since we had our first kiss there three years ago. The staff is excellent and the energy superb.
Cons. Unfortunately there was absolutely nothing distinctive about the room. For a hotel as well reviewed as this place, there needs to be a serious statement in the room with either art pieces, the design of the room, etc. This room could have easily been a new Westin or some urban Marriott concept. The rooms we stayed in had there share of use and will probably need to be renovated relatively soon. So if I were you, I'd save $100+ per night, stay at the Brown or Seelbach, and spend your savings on dinner and drinks at 21C/Proof. Or heck, get a boss Airbnb in the Highlands or Nulu.
