We just spent 2 nights at a lovely hotel in Louisville, KY called the Galt House Hotel. We had a great view out our 11th floor window of the Ohio River. We watched barges being pushed down the river with a tug boat. One tug boat was pushing 4 wide barges at a time. Something new for us to observe.... More

Like a lot of other reviews have mentioned, the hotel has just a bit of an outdated feel to it. With that said, the views of the river are great and I enjoyed the location. One surprise I had was that internet cost was reasonable. I did have to switch back and forth between a few servers they had, but... More

I am so glad we got to stay at The Galt while attending the Derby. If I ever get to go again I would not stay anywhere else. The hotel Is pricey but you get what you pay for. Love the walkway that also is a bar/lounge area. Great location to eateries and downtown fun. Out view was of the... More

We stayed at the Galt House for 3 nights in a basic room booked on Expedia. It is located on the Ohio River in downtown Louisville relatively close to museum row and the 4th street restaurant and club area. It is comprised of two towers connected by an elevated concourse in which there is a interesting bar offering great river... More

Beds: Comfortable. Pillows: Good. Room: very clean. Service: Good. We were here for a convention. We were not sure what to expect. The hotel is lovely. The staff friendly. Some of the pricing was a little high, but an overall good experience. The location was the best feature. We walked all over downtown. Beautiful.

I stayed on the suite side of the hotel for a week and loved it! Very comfy beds, lots of room, helpful staff. The location is just a few blocks away from many bars and restaurants. I hope to be back many times.

Stayed here for a conference and was very happy with all the amenities. The hotel is old but I think they have done a great job in keeping the old charm. I had a suite on the 14th floor and I couldn't believe at how spacious it was, it was also very clean. The Magnolia Cafe is a great stop... More

This hotel is older but charming. Beautiful woodwork, a 24 hour snack bar, a Bourbon bar, the perfect location, friendly staff, etc. My complaints are very minimal but the room did not have a refrigerator, the parking is $12 a night without valet, the doors to the rooms are so heavy that there really isn't a way to shut them...

I have been to a ton of hotels in the past ten years of travel (both business and vacation) and I will say this hotel had the loudest everything I have ever encountered. The AC units could wake the dead, you can hear the toilets flushing from the floors above and you can hear doors slamming. Usually old buildings have... More
