“Everything at the hotel—the rooftop bar, the art-filled lobby, the banana-yellow mini-mart, the hidden speakeasy (it’s behind the mini-mart, silly!)—is lush and a little louche and sexy as hell. As sexy, that is, as a barely closed bathrobe.”

“The bar front at Lucky Penny, Hotel Genevieve’s speakeasy, sparkles with mirror glass tiles, and if you look closely at the hunting scene behind the registration desk, you’ll see it’s been jazzed up with a tiny disco ball.”

“Hotel Genevieve features Parisian-inspired decor, 122 guest rooms, and three restaurants and bars. Plus, it’s located in the trendy NuLu district near boutiques, distilleries such as Rabbit Hole and Angel’s Envy, and locally owned coffee shops.”

“Hospitality Design presents the jury-selected finalists of its 2024 project awards program.”

“NuLu stands for “New Louisville,” the East Market District of downtown known for its art galleries, antique shops, and robust food scene. For breakfast or brunch, consider the beet-cured salmon tartine from Rosettes, a Parisian-style café inside the newly opened Hotel Genevieve.”

“Hotel Genevieve brings high style from Austin’s hip Bunkhouse Group.”

“Looking ahead, we’re going to continue to make a great bourbon at Rabbit Hole, and with Hotel Genevieve show the rest of the country and the world not only Louisville’s past, but also the future of our beautiful city.”

“Set in the back of Hotel Genevieve, you can only enter Lucky Penny via a secret path in the mini market or through a nondescript exterior door. Comfy seating on plush red sofas and dark blue benches offers an intimate environment to enjoy your date night with minimal distractions.”

“The Kentucky Derby will celebrate its 150th anniversary on May 4, 2024, as well as the debut of the redesigned Churchill Downs Paddock, which is coming off a multiyear, $200-million renovation.”
