THE GRADY

A quirky boutique stay in Louisville- Kentucky- The Grady combines contemporary luxury with a well-balanced measure of historic charm. Located on the aptly named Main Street- its restored revival-style facade hints at the modern opulence inside. See the history of Louisville come to life through thoughtful details in the design and decor. Butterflies and bees subtly represent Muhammed Ali- one of the most famous residents of the city. Horseshoes are a nod to the Kentucky Derby. And shamrocks represent the Swann Hat Company- a famous milliner that once made the building their home. Reclaimed wood ceilings and copper tones in the luxurious bedrooms create a warm atmosphere that flows through to the communal spaces- including a library and central fireplace. There is no better spot for people-watching than The Wild Swann restaurant- which serves up tempting small plates and expertly mixed cocktails with a healthy dose of Southern hospitality. Step outside- and you will find yourself in the beating heart of the largest city in Kentucky. Discover a rich cultural scene. Tuck into some fantastic food. And enjoy exploring streets lined with historic buildings that beautifully evoke their glory days. The Grady is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
