Dark Travel: Seelbach Hotel – Louisville, KY

September 18th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

The Seelbach originally opened in 1905. Over the years it had the same fate of many old buildings. Falling into neglect in the 70’s and eventually revived to the original glory in the 90’s.

Many of the original features of the building survived including the lobby, the Oak Room dining room and the Rathskeller rooftop ballroom (top left). The ballroom is the only existing example of a room completely adorned in Rookwood pottery tile. The Rathskeller was also the first air conditioned venue. The hotel has had numerous U.S. Presidents as guests, the likes of Al Capone frequented and is now on the U.S. historic register.

This historic hotel is currently owned by Hilton Hotels so options like room discounts, business travel room rates and Hilton Honors points are available.
