I enjoyed my stay at the Grady. It’s such a beautiful boutique hotel and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Checking into the hotel was easy and the process was seamless.
The rooms were spacious and very clean. The bed was comfortable and I had no issues with the heater in the room as I visited in the month February which was during winter.
There is a restaurant downstairs and also nearby restaurants / cafes.
I would highly recommend The Grady and I will definitely be returning again soon.
Hotel was wonderful, staff was very nice and helpful. Ate breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel, food was amazing and got to learn about the history of the building. Great experience and highly recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service
Staff seemed bothered to help and not friendly. No coffee maker in room, no shelf or platform for toiletries in the bathroom. Ice maker is on the first floor. Loud and noisy even from the fifth floor.
The Grady was remarkable! Service received from Linda at the front desk and Mark in the Swan Restaurant was outstanding! Highly recommend the Grady for a great stay in Louisville!!!
The room was very small. No sitting room. Just a bed and a bathroom. No coffee maker, no free breakfast, nothing extra just a place to sleep at a very high price. Would never stay there again
Beautiful, historic hotel. Clean and comfortable. Parking is a bit of a challenge, however. Valet is $50 tip! Honestly, that took the fun away from our stay. The Swann restaurant in the basement was nice but overpriced with mid-level service. I had the mahi and for $40 expected a more exciting dish. I had to go find my waiter for salt. Wine choices were very good. Positives and negatives of the stay but overall, I’d recommend.
Great hotel, excellent location. Only complaint is that our room was extremely cold at night even though heat was set on 80 (I think the large window was not very insulated and it was below 20 at night)- was not a problem when the weather warmed our last night there. The hotel did provide a space heater which was very convenient. Nice little bar downstairs and a cute pastry place right next door.
Nice hotel. Good location for downtown Louisville attractions. Lots of good attractions in walking distance. I will definitely stay again on my next visit to the city.
We were coming to Louisville to see a track meet on the west side and to see a show at the venue next door. The Grady was super convenient. The restaurant was delicious for both dinner and breakfast. We have been to this area before, but didn’t venture out much this time. The weather was sloppy slush and cold. The room was nice with high ceilings, but that made it take a while to warm up with as cold as it was (in the teens Fahrenheit ). The staff were very friendly and helpful.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was clean and had everything we required. The staff were all friendly and attentive. We have never been to a hotel with robes and bell hop service. It was a pleasant surprise for sure.
My only negative would be I think valet parking for hotel guests should be discounted. $180 for 3 nights was a bit steep in our opinion.
