Bourbon, horses and boutique hotels: Louisville, Kentucky's booming hotel scene
12.07.2024 - 19:23 / thepointsguy.com
As a longtime Louisvillian, I like to think I know where to find the best hotels, restaurants and things to do around town. The problem I used to have when making recommendations to out-of-towners, though, was that the good food and fun were nowhere near the city's hotels. Before recently, the hotels were largely clustered downtown, near the airport and in the East End suburbs.

If you wanted to experience the eclectic shops, galleries, eateries and nightlife in Louisville's historic Highlands neighborhood or the burgeoning arts and culinary scene in the revitalized NuLu (short for New Louisville) neighborhood, you had to figure out how to get there from your hotel.
However, a handful of new hotels are now infusing these must-visit neighborhoods with a home base for visitors and Louisvillians who want a stylish hotel with local flair.
One of those new spots is the 65-room Myriad Hotel, which opened in September 2023 in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood. In its former life, The Myriad Hotel was the world's largest disco ball factory, and its lobby lounge, Switchboard, was once home to the local Southern Bell Telephone Company. Paseo, the restaurant connected to The Myriad Hotel, opened shortly before the rest of the property in June 2023.
The Myriad Hotel could easily lean too far into that history with overt references around every corner, but you won't find a disco ball spinning above the bed in every guest room. A few well-placed disco balls in the hotel's public spaces add just the right amount of 1970s flair, while other references to the hotel's history are more subtle (the glaring exception being the "party lights" button in the elevator).
"Design played a really important role here in interpreting some of the historical elements," Craig Pishotti, co-founder of Common Bond, the hotel and hospitality management group behind The Myriad Hotel, told TPG.
Switchboard's ceiling lights and wall sconces resemble the wires and lights you'd see at an old-school telephone company, and artwork in the lobby plays up the hotel's ties to the groovy disco era.
But what really amplifies The Myriad's sense of place as a historic building befitting the neighborhood's eccentric personality is the meticulous preservation and restoration.

"We love taking what's out there and reimagining it. Instead of trying to hide the building's industrial roots, we celebrate them," Pishotti said. "We kept the original concrete floors, a lot of the exposed brick and windows."
Even the bright orange tower overlooking the pool is original to the building's factory days. When I toured the

The Pros and Cons of Free Night Awards at Hotels
The dream of free night awards at luxury hotels: It’s the carrot-on-a-stick that drives many of us to get into credit card points in the first place. One sure-fire way to earn these perks is through co-branded hotel credit cards that run sign-up bonuses or annual free night awards. For example, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless offers three free nights when you open a new card and meet certain spending requirements. The Hilton Surpass is also currently running a promo for an additional free night, and all the major brands offer free nights to celebrate cardmember anniversaries for having cards like the IHG One Rewards Premier.
