Beautiful Hotel
I loved this hotel. I’m always traveling & this one is probably one of my favorites. The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Rooms were extremely spacious and had big beautiful windows causing beautiful natural light. The beds were comfortable and the hotel didn’t have a smell. Finally a hotel with no smell. I’ll definitely will be staying there again

Loved the unique room. It was very spacious. The floor was slanted but that must be from age of building.

Bourbon Trail trip
We stayed at the Delegate because it was only a mile from Buffalo Trace Distillery where we were going the next day. Really cool older building that has been refurbished. Rooms were huge and well decorated. Beds were very comfortable. There was a restaurant/bar that was pretty cool as well. Great selections of bourbon at the bar. The dining was closing as we got there, but they offered to make up some appetizers for us. We had the poutine and calamari. Both were good. We will likely stay there again since it’s so close to Buffalo Trace and not too far from the Louisville and Bardstown regions for the Bourbon Trail.

Beautiful place to rest your head. Very unique establishment with a great restaurant on site. Comfortable bed too! They recently opened so there are some small kinks to work out, but I highly recommend checking this place out!

Great hotel. Nice property and quiet. Limited parking now, but not really an issue. Call ahead and ask about available parking before you arrive. Would definitely stay there again.
