Overview Reflecting the past, present and future of our vibrant Kentucky town and inspired by the city’s rich history and authentic character, the

Omni Louisville

transforms one of the city’s most significant urban blocks into a unique and vibrant mixed‑use environment offering hotel guests, residents and locals a chance to connect and enjoy the best of a great city. The hotel is a prominent landmark against the Louisville skyline, glistening during the day and glowing at night, with the iconic glassy ends of the 612 room hotel. The hotel pool and rooftop bar, designed for seamless indoor and outdoor integration, allow guests to rest, relax and socialize with downtown Louisville as the backdrop. The essence of Louisville is woven throughout with interior design blending elements of the city’s heritage, culture and character, felt everywhere from the hotel restaurants to a featured bourbon bar to the hotel’s Speakeasy and bowling alley. Guests can also enjoy a dynamic 20,000 square foot urban food hall and market connected to the lobby of the hotel, transforming Liberty Street into a pedestrian thoroughfare. The market serves as a community gateway for hotel guests and locals alike, inviting the neighborhood in with the smells of freshly brewed Heine Brothers’ coffee, baked bread, and smoked barbecue.
