Seelbach Hotel

The Four Star Seelbach Hilton in Louisville

The luxury, four star Seelbach Hilton is situated in the heart of Louisville, only minutes from Churchill Downs – home to the Kentucky Derby.

Al Capone played blackjack here, never far from a series of secret passageways where he could make an escape if necessary. F. Scott Fitzgerald sipped brandy and smoked cigars here, once banned from the hotel after having “one too many.” The Hollywood classic,“The Hustler,” starring Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman features scenes shot in the old Seelbach billiard room (now The Oakroom, the hotel’s 5-diamond restaurant).

One night bed and breakfast accommodation costs from £169 including a queen bed and breakfast for two people. Children five years or younger also eats free when accompanied by paying adult. To book, or for further details visithttp://www.seelbachhilton.com.
