Blue penguin paradise

These folks went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. When they found out it was my birthday, they even sent up champagne! The bathroom was so big you could dance in it. Love the blue penguins stationed like hall monitors!

Helpful concierge—helped me find a great restaurant nearby that also fit into my schedule. The hotel has tons of art in it, fun place to to stay. The bathroom had a large shower with decent soaps (malin + goetz). Valet parking and check in and a late checkout were a breeze. Location is right in the best part of Lexington too.

Best hotel in the area

We love this hotel. We've stayed at three 21c Museum Hotel's so far - Lexington, Louisville, and Cincinnati - and this one is by far our favorite. Lovely rooms, nice view, and an easy walk to the best restaurants and bars in the city.
