Locating Louisville KY Hotels For Travelers






by John Renolds


Finding good Louisville KY hotels is pretty easy, as long as visitors keep two things in mind. The first thing is the location of the hotel vis-a-vis the downtown area, airport and other notable points of interest. The other thing is about the Kentucky Derby, during which normal room rates and availability go haywire.

Finding a last minute hotel here for the 2 greatest minutes in sports is an impossible task. If by chance one does become available, then the rate charged will be several times higher than during other periods of the year. The point here is that booking a hotel for the derby has to done many months in advance.

Derby aside, there should be absolutely no problem in getting a decent, affordable hotel anywhere in the city. That said, it is still advisable to make sure the hotel is in a location that makes it easy for the purpose at hand. Also ensure that the hotel has at least the basic minimum in terms of facilities and amenities.

For example, one of the hotels just minutes from the airport on the Dixie Highway would be extremely convenient for those flying in at the international airport. These are quite affordable by Louisville standards, and it puts visitors close to the Kentucky Derby and Churchill Downs, and also to the Kentucky Expo Center. This makes it ideal for most leisure and business travelers visiting the city.

Business travelers in town for a meeting at the Jefferson Riverport Industrial Community will find it just as easy to access when staying in the Southwest part of the city. So will those with business to attend to or friends & family to visit at the University. Those visiting the University shouldn't forget to take a look-see at Papa John's Stadium.

It's not a bad place to stay either, for those visiting downtown attractions like the Slugger Museum and Muhammad Ali Center. Not to mention for business travelers in town for a convention at the Kentucky Int'l Convention Center. Location and price aside, it is also important to choose a hotel with all the necessary amenities and facilities.

The hotel must have standard amenities & services like a heated indoor pool and free high-speed internet. Louisville KY hotels are also known for their onsite cuisine and lounges, not to mention availability of 24 hour business & fitness centers. Bottomline - Derby bookings are a whole new thing, but other than that, visitors here can expect an affordable, comfortable and convenient stay.
