The bar in the conservatory is cool! The bar is a glass aquarium filled with live gold fish ! You can drink with the fishes there!

Paula Heisler

Beautiful old hotel ! You are right in the middle of the city and can walk to most places! Friendly staff ! We would come back!

Cherie Peters

The 3-cheese french onion soup at the Magnolia Cafe is awesome! Great hotel with wonderful service & large rooms. Surprise lighted vanity mirror in hall outside bedroom was very helpful.

Wendy McRight

Executive suite is very nice. Request a room around the 10th floor for best views . The room has an enormous walk in shower and beds are very comfortable .

Serhii Lutsko

Probably one o the fanciest hotels in Louisville.Nice location and we've got 50% off so the price was nice as well . Staff and everyone else were friendly so the only bad thing was loud air conditioner

Just Add Bourbon

Welcome to the Galt House, if you're a fan of bourbon , they have a great bourbon bar here. Mosey on over to Jockey Silks and grab a bourbon to relax and get your Urban Bourbon Trail Passport stamped!

Christine Krock

The aged steak was the most tastiest made perfect to order hunk of meat I have ever eaten. You must stop and try on the 25th floor the RIVUE Tower.

Eric Monhollon

Good bourbon selection at the bar . Speaking of the bar you can watch native species of fish swim around right under you drink. Delightfully tacky !

Cicely L

Here for a conference . Nice room and easy to see and hear the presenters. Easy to get in and out through the attached garage .

Samuel Ware

It has a nice location on the river with bars and restaurants in the hotel . Short walk to downtown places and events

Rachel K

Mint Julep Tours leaves from the 3rd floor in the Rivue Tower . Great way to get out and experience bourbon distilleries without having to drive.

Ben Medhurst

Sweet views of the river , parking garage is a real mess. Rooms are dated but rest of hotel is entertaining, spread out and unique in a way chain hotels cannot duplicate.

"The original Galt House opened in 1835. Its two towers now overlook the Ohio River . Several U.S. presidents - Carter, Reagan and Clinton, to name three - have been guests."

Dawn Cleary

When you reserve & confirm that you booked a Suite with a king bed, beware, they'll tell you it's only a "suggestion" & give you a Suite with a double queen bed, if you're lucky :(

jbrotherlove

If you're looking for updated, old-world charm and great customer service, this is the place. The suites are very large and quiet .

Stacy Stuber

If you forgot your charger go to the information desk - they have boxes of them and will try to find one for you. Helped me out!

Helge Mueller

The Bourbon Bar is highly recommended by Whiskey Lovers Germany [whiskey-lovers.luxus.welt.de]

Joe

Great hotel for staying in downtown Louisville. Always busy.

Max Sklar

The glass elevators are fun - they shoot up really fast

Amy Cannon

Friendly staff , great fitness center (and cheap ), easy access to the convention center . Thank you for hosting Travel South, Galt House!

Arlene Murphy

Stay in the suite tower. It is quieter and has a shower hook. You also get a mini fridge

Lewis

Great bourbon and bars , picture your great grandma's house and dial up internet speeds... Take it for what it's worth.

andy barnette

Great hotel . Amazing suites. The sure was only $20 extra a night and worth it

Mick Jeffries

fave lville hotel , hands-down. I mean -- there's goldfish inside the atrium bar -- c'mon. <3

Christy Nichols

Try not to stay in the Rivue Tower . Walls are paper thin and lots of freeway noise. Bourbon bar is awesome!

Mary Catherine James

Rooms with views are spectacular!

H.B. Elkins

Park in the first garage on the right side at the third floor entrance. It's right by the Suite Tower elevators .

Tiffany Rolofson

Check out the atrium bar and the revue restaurant on the top floor for Sunday brunch .

Vincent Chesney

Historic hotel in the heart of the city .

Scott Baxter

Parking in the underground lot is $12 for guests... they'll tell you to use your room key when leaving, and charge it to your CC.

Ruben Garcia

If you value your hard-earned dollars, don't stay at this hotel . They try their darnedest to take your $$ away. Everything is an extra charge, including wi-fi, gym and even parking during check-in.

Susie Pozgay

Take the escalator to the third floor, then get on the elevator to avoid the first floor lines .

Dallas Winkler

Very nice hotel . The elevators are few in number and incredibly slow. Take the stairs if you're in any kind of hurry.

Jackie Underwood

Bring your own robe, light bulbs out & broken lamp but maintenance was fast. Valet didn't load bags or even open the door, rivue was great.

Geoffrey Dennis

Cup of coffee , a good book , waiting to meet a friend.

Ivey Hatfield

Super courteous staff ! Be sure to ask the concierge desk if you have any questions. They are so helpful and courteous!

ᴡ Lloyd

Great place to stay, and you must eat at Jeff Rubys!

G C

Nice homey hotel with big rooms . Mini fridge in room but water vending machine empty. The bathroom fans stay on with the light which I don't like, the rooms smell like mildew!

Sam Feigenbaum

If you have the energy, the stairs can be faster than the elevator .

Teresa Juarez

Stop at Al J'a for a Red Stag & lemonade . Favorite bartender was Amber.

Rodney Holt

Thelma's has amazing coffee !

Tim Murphy

Location great. Dated but clean property

Scott Baxter

GH-GUEST wifi is $5.95 for 24 hours from the time you sign in.

Lauren Jensen

The rooms are not cleaned as regular as they should and had to ask multiple times for new towels and for garbage to be emptied. Never came to change sheets . Very overrated hotel for price

Gary Oldham

Not a bad place. Get a higher floor for better view . Chemical cleaner smell strong in room. Thermostat set to a chilly 66 upon arrival.

Linda Busalacchi

Excellent Hotel and service!

Chanel Ward

The rooms in the Suite Tower are seriously like small apartments . Nice :)

Cassie B.
