21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, KY is the first of its kind-a 90-room hotel dedicated
to world class luxuries, Southern-style hospitality and contemporary art from living
artists. The hotel features a 9,000 square foot contemporary art museum funded and
managed by the International Contemporary Art Foundation. This stunning collection
of cutting-edge art, including Red Penguin (2005) by Cracking Art, inspired the naming
of this property and influenced the creation of the museum and hotel. For the finest
in libations and culinary creations, Proof On Main, managed by ACE Unlimited, is
among the nation's top best new restaurants.
21c Museum Hotel was developed by Louisville investors and contemporary art collectors,
Steve Wilson and Laura Lee Brown. They have provided many years of leadership and
financial support for programs and projects that have promoted the cultural and
intellectual promise of Louisville and its citizens.
