The bones of The Brown are truly gorgeous. Historic architectural features of stone and marble and wood all speak of a day gone by. The hotel just needs some attention; specifically bedrooms and bathrooms. Our first room had a significant mold smell and when we requested a change they immediately complied with a room on the tenth floor with a beautiful view. We had a very good breakfast in their very impressive buffet. The service was great and the food options were endless. The rooftop area was the most impressive to us as it was a gorgeous day and the space is magical.

Unique! Classic! Ornate! Respectfully! Historic! Visiting the hotel is a reminder of when I was born and the history of Kentucky and the Country. Sentimental memories of the previous times I have visited the hotel.

Convenient to the Brown Theatre. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at The Lobby Bar & Grill where Rob (our head waiter) and staff made sure that everything was top drawer. Highly recommend!

Such a gorgeous hotel with amazing food and friendly staff. Felt like we were living in luxury. The hotel has beautiful architecture and our room was cozy. The dinner restaurant was romantic and delicious. The breakfast/brunch buffet was the best I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend. A wonderful experience.

I had access to the 16th floor (outside patio) for comet hunting. Alexander in registration put me in to this and sent eight other North Carolinians to join me. This was fun.
