Explore Kentucky

Thoroughbred racing, fried chicken and some of the finest Bourbon you'll ever sip. And that's just what you know about Kentucky...

The Bluegrass State has a reputation for Southern hospitality, delectable Bourbon and, of course, the Kentucky Derby. But visitors here will find there's even more to see and do. Louisville is a hotbed for vibrant arts, a haven for foodies and a historical charmer with parks, architecture and festivals at every turn. It's home to a world-class ballet, the country's twelfth oldest opera and a renowned theater scene. And just short drive outside the city limits, you'll find miles of lush, rolling countryside that play home to Kentucky’s famed Bourbon distilleries and picturesque horse farms.

In the middle of it all is 21c, Louisville's cultural epicenter where guests, artists, performers and locals congregate for culinary delights and innovative artwork. Take in the hotel's art exhibits, found in both public spaces and unexpected places – elevators, courtyards, hallways, landings, restrooms, and on the floor, roof and surrounding streetscape. Or head out for an adventure in the urban jungle or the country hills. Both within our walls and beyond, 21c hopes guests will explore all Kentucky has to offer.
