This was a great place to stay with a really museum oriented vibe. The staff was very helpful and the lobby and rooms were clean. Absolutely no issues with checking in or checking out and the location made everything fairly walkable.
We enjoyed our stay at 21c, from our initial interaction with valet to our checkout, everything was great. Great selection of bourbons at the bar. Bed was so comfy and room was so big and light filled. Would definitely stay again!
I love this chain and stay at them whenever possible… It’s a shame they don’t offer a frequent Stay program. They really are hip, well located, and well appointed.
Gorgeous hotel in a fantastic part of downtown Louisville. The art museum was really special. And all kinds of wonderful restaurants within walking distance.
It’s in a historical landmark building so I get that it’s old. But the tile floors were pretty dingy looking. The corners in the rooms seemed to be overlooked when cleaned. Very convenient location to bars and restaurants. Staff was great.

The room was large, the staff were helpful, the hotel was well located.
Friendlyband professional staff. Beautiful corner room with great city view. Clean spaces. It was fun to see the art on display. Coffee by the nespresso machine is a great ammenity. Bed was comfy. Pillows are firm. I love the set up of the space with the small sofa, table and chair. Spacious and functional.
Appropriate lotions and soaps.
This hotel was great! The location is right in the center of the downtown area. They also use phenomenal products in their showers. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner was some of the best I have ever used in a hotel. The valet service was great as well as the front desk staff! 10/10 would recommend to anyone heading to Lexington.
The location of 21C Lexington is superb. It is super convenient to wonderful restaurants, bars and other amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the close proximity to the Sat. morning farmer's market during our stay and had a leisurely walk to a great restaurant (Corto Lima) for dinner. It is a slight disappointment that the hotel's restaurant/bar area was closed while were there. They do have a temporary bar set up in the lobby, but it is a poor stand-in for the normal offerings of a 21C establishment. The room was comfortable and well- appointed, but the A/C unit was very loud.

At the moment they are undergoing a renovation of the restaurant and there is just a temporary bar set up in the lobby. There are many restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, but I was very disappointed in the bar. They could have made a better area with more ambiance, as it appears that this is a long-term project possibly going into next year.
The staff were not always at the front desk, but the car valet was helpful in tracking them down. We unfortunately missed our opportunity to have the room cleaned as we were getting ready to go out, but she couldn't return. The next day I asked to have the room refreshed as I did not want them coming again in the afternoon, but it was a minimum of service.
The hotel is in an excellent location. It is in an old bank building and has an art gallery. There is a Marriott Residence Inn just across the road, and we enjoyed both of their restaurants, one of which is a rooftop bar and restaurant with great views of Lexington, and the other a great Italian one.
