Best hotel in the area

We love this hotel. We've stayed at three 21c Museum Hotel's so far - Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati - and this one is by far our favorite. Lovely rooms, nice view, and an easy walk to the best restaurants and bars in the city.

Helpful concierge—helped me find a great restaurant nearby that also fit into my schedule. The hotel has tons of art in it, fun place to to stay. The bathroom had a large shower with decent soaps (malin + goetz). Valet parking and check in and a late checkout were a breeze. Location is right in the best part of Lexington too.
