Situated in the middle of downtown Louisville, our waterfront hotel has got its finger on the pulse of the city. From the fun shops and a variety of dining options on Fourth Street to the cultural institutions at the Kentucky Center, you’ll never be lacking for things to do. Those visiting on business will appreciate our proximity to the Kentucky International Convention Center, which is connected to us by skywalk. And those traveling with little ones will find our setting kid-friendly—the Louisville Slugger Museum along with a host of area attractions are within walking distance of our hotel. The Louisville Zoo, Six Flags, Oxmoor Center and The Mall of St. Matthews are just a ten-minute drive.

Louisville Area Destinations. Situated on 58 acres in Louisville and just seven miles from our hotel, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom is the ultimate two-for-one deal—a combination theme park and water park for one admission price. Attractions include seven roller coasters, family rides and Looney Tunes MovieTown, which offers rides designed especially for kids. Hurricane Bay Water Park features an interactive water tree house, a 750,000-gallon wave pool, Tornado slide and a lazy river.

While horse racing in Kentucky dates back to 1789, it wasn’t until 1875 that Churchill Downs, located a mere five miles away from us, officially opened and began its tradition as “Home of the Kentucky Derby.” The Galt House Hotel & Suites is the Official Hotel of Churchill Downs. Visitors can tour the racetrack and check out the Kentucky Derby Museum, the world’s largest equine museum, enjoy a meal at the Derby Café and browse the gift shop, which features Derby and thoroughbred memorabilia.

Louisville Attractions. Within a mile of our lobby, you can check out the Louisville Ballet and the Louisville Orchestra, Actors Theatre of Louisville, the Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory, Louisville Slugger Field and Bats Stadium and many other tourist attractions.
