Learn more about hotels in Louisville

Established as far back as 1778, along the Indiana border, Louisville grew in significance as a pivotal portage site due to the Falls of the Ohio, which marked the solitary major obstruction to river traffic between the upper Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico. As the founding city of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, Louisville boasted a 6,000-mile system across 13 states, further cementing its importance in the region.

The city is hallmarked by its starring attractions; home to the legendary Kentucky Derby, the aural resonance of the Louisville Slugger baseball bats, and immortalised by renowned native son, Muhammad Ali. It's not just sporting history that decorates this city, its notable contributions include enticing gastronomy, with Kentucky Fried Chicken hailing from here, and three Fortune 500 companies, Humana, Kindred Healthcare, and Yum! Brands. Merging history with modernity, the bustling Muhammad Ali International Airport caters as the city's primary commercial airport and hosts the global hub of UPS.

When to visit Louisville

Planning a jaunt to Louisville? Ideally, the spring season, marked by the Bourbon trail and a plethora of festivals, makes for a splendid time to explore. Although hotel prices might escalate during the end of April and the start of May due to the Kentucky Derby Festival, it's a spectacle that's more than worth it. If you don't mind a bit of heat and humidity, the city's local breweries are at their productive peak during July and August, offering an experience like none other.

As the leaves change their garb in early November, the city dons a picturesque look, making it an ideal time for those who love autumn hues. Lastly, for those who relish in the merriment of holiday cheer and don't mind braving the cold, December brings fewer crowds along with jubilant festivities.
