The property and staff were lovely! The staff at the front desk were so polite and helpful. The room was great! The bed was very comfortable. Shelving options in the shower were limited, which was a bit challenging but manageable. The building was very convenient to walking around downtown Frankfort and to Buffalo Trace.

Beautiful hotel with a great steakhouse attached and only 2 miles from the Buffalo Trace distillery with a straight shot with the Trolley. Great restaurants that double as cocktail lounges all around, and a pool hall nearby too. Great place to stay.

We had a great stay at The Delegate! The location was perfect, close to everything and easy to walk to restaurants, breweries, and shops. It was also conveniently located near the distilleries, which made exploring the Bourbon Trail so easy. The room was very clean, comfortable, and cozy, making it a great place to relax after a day out. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend The Delegate to anyone visiting Lexington or the surrounding bourbon country!
