The 1857 Hotel is a beautifully renovated historic building that blends classic charm with modern comfort. Our room was stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed — a perfect balance of old and new. The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of downtown Paducah. It’s just steps from the Market House Square, great restaurants, local shops, and the famous mural wall along the riverfront. A wonderful boutique hotel that captures the spirit of Paducah — highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Friendly staff. Beautiful remodel of an old brick building, right on the edge of the historic district. About two blocks from the river. Rooms have a rustic, high-end vibe. A bar with limited hours is in the back of the building. There is no elevator to get to the second floor rooms, and our room picked up some street noise, but our stay was about as good as it gets.

The style was very different than common hotels. Old fashioned. The bar area was closed to the public for a private meeting event and I wished it was open to the public. Last minute lodging landed me at a retirement party.

The location of the 1857 was great and an easy walk to many restaurants, shops and the river. Our room was on the first floor and had plenty of room with high ceilings and a comfy bed. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

Loved the cleanliness of our room and the staff were really courteous and helpful. The bed was comfortable and for our travel needs it was just fine. We stayed in room 104 and it did have a musty smell when entering the room, don’t know if it’s because of the age of the building but it was noticeable. Would stay there again if ever in the Paducah area.

This place is a gem! Historic building with modern amenities in the downtown district about a block from the river. Cannot beat the location or the vibe with so much within a few steps- restaurants, bars, shops and museums. If you’re in Paducah, this is the hotel you want.
