The Woodford Hotel

Stepping into The Woodford Hotel felt like entering a world where bourbon dreams come true. As we settled into the Pappy Suite, the air was thick with the allure of Kentucky's finest spirits, and the decor whispered tales of distilleries past. The suite was a sanctuary of comfort, with its fully equipped kitchen, cozy living area, and inviting bedroom, all designed to make our stay as luxurious as possible. The generous layout provided the perfect setting for an intimate and unforgettable evening, allowing us to fully enjoy each other's company in complete privacy. The bed was so inviting that it beckoned us to linger long after our explorations of the day, while the separate living area gave us space to relax and unwind together. Like other guests have noted, the beds are incredibly comfortable, with plush mattresses and soft, high-thread-count sheets that made for a truly rejuvenating sleep experience. The hotel's location is a lover's paradise, just steps away from quaint eateries and bourbon havens. We visited WinStar Farm and Lane's End, where we were captivated by the beauty of the Thoroughbreds and the serene landscapes. The guided tours provided fascinating insights into the world of horse breeding, and we felt a deep connection to the Bluegrass region's equestrian heritage. These visits added a touch of romance and adventure to our getaway, making our stay even more memorable. For dinner, we dined at Vallozzi’s, where we indulged in authentic Italian cuisine that perfectly complemented our bourbon-themed stay. The intimate ambiance and delectable dishes created a romantic setting, enhanced by a selection of fine wines. After dinner, we returned to the hotel to enjoy a nightcap of Kentucky's finest bourbon, perfectly capping off our evening. Throughout our stay, we were impressed by the hosts' attentiveness and quick responses, ensuring our every need was met with care.

We loved everything

Our stay was great. The accommodations were wonderful. We did not have breakfast. The bed was comfortable and the place was spotless clean. Very roomy and had everything we needed. Just a sidenote, the headboard did slide down at some point. We didn’t even know what happened till we saw it, there was no noise. It did not interfere with our stay at all…..just letting you know. Great place!!!

Nothing could have been better.

Clean, charming, and in a great spot. We loved being able to walk to shops and restaurants, and it was an easy drive to several bourbon distilleries. A comfortable stay with just the right mix of character and convenience.

We noticed traffic noise at night and thought a shower in the half bath would’ve been handy for the second bedroom. The parking lot was a little tricky to find and had some stone piles blocking spots, but it was great to have and we felt safe throughout our stay.

If you’re looking for a place to explore, the bourbon trail, this hotel is in a great location.

Finding the back parking lot.

This boutique hotel is precious and super convenient to Lexington. I love the historic building, the decor, and the setting in an historic neighborhood. The apartment was well appointed with everything you’d need. I appreciate how they’ve respected the history of the area in the way they’ve decorated. It is very well done. Also, the manager was kind enough to allow us to check in a tad early which was very much appreciated.

The one negative (for me) was that the bedding had an extremely strong odor of laundry detergent or dryer sheets. Not unpleasant, just very strong which gave me a headache. The bed was comfortable, but the scent was overwhelming. Maybe switch to an unscented detergent?

Very clean. Very roomy. Modern additions to the experience while keeping the traditional feel.

Sorry we did not stay longer.

It was exceptionally clean and supplied with necessities. Very comfortable setting. Easy access. Highly recommend booking.

I have no negative comments. Everything was excellent.
