The Galt House Hotel & Suites

     As the official hotel of Churchill Downs and The Kentucky Derby, The Galt House is a name long associated with gracious hospitality, Southern style and history.

     Along with many of Hollywood's elite who attend the Derby each year, some of the more "historic" visitors include Jefferson Davis, Stephen Douglas, Charles Dickens, P.T. Barnum, Tom Thumb, and presidents Lincoln, Grant, Taylor, Hayes and Buchanan. In 1864, generals Grant and Sherman planned their military strategys at the Galt House.

     Located directly on the waterfront in downtown Louisville, the Galt House's twin towers have long been one of the city's landmarks.

Louisville, Kentucky

     The Kentucky Derby may be Louisville’s claim to fame, but the famous horse race isn't all the city has to offer. Nestled on the banks of the Ohio River, this Southern city has loads of small-town charm, a cosmopolitan riverfront district, a diverse art scene, downtown’s Museum Row, and a growing foodie market with its own Restaurant Row.

     Sports lovers should make a stop at the Louisville Slugger Museum, Kentucky Derby Museum and Muhammad Ali Center; thrill-seekers, take a ride on one of the world's longest stand-up coasters at Kentucky Kingdom. History lovers can sip mint juleps on a river cruise aboard the Belle of Louisville, a National Historic Landmark.
