The stay at The Grady was excellent. The staff are all very welcoming, the property is beautiful, and very convenient to the Ali Museum, the Louisville Slugger museum, the Frazer Museum, and tons of distilleries!
What a terrific hotel! Great location and awesome vibe. Quiet, clean, truly outstanding. Special thanks to Mark for all of his help and conversation. Thank you!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
room was small very noise outside wall window next to street intersection. The TV system sucked unless you have apps. No complimentary water in room. Otherwise staff very friendly.
We had a fabulous time staying here ❤️The staff members were friendly, and the rooms were spacious and unique. The large piece of art made from books to depict a race horse 🏇 and the fireplace in the lobby are both very welcoming. The bakery next door and Muhammad Ali Center are absolute musts. We also enjoyed the cocktail bar at the hotel 🍸
Valet parking is realistically the only way to come and go. Unless you are not driving your car after you check in, you are basically forced to use Valet. Or you could pay for your time every time you leave the garages.
Pressure in the shower was amazing. However, they failed to design it with enough protection for the water not to come out. When I got out of the shower, I had the makings of a puddle. Had to clean that up. They should put something either on the inside or outside of the door so that it only swings one way but it will ultimately keep all the water draining in the shower.
What's with the door right by the lobby? Our room door is basically right off the entrance to the lobby at the back of the hotel. Made us feel self concience about what we talked out loud about.
