Set inside one of downtown Louisville's flagship historic buildings, this spacious 5BR loft on Whiskey Row puts large groups right in the heart of the city's bourbon culture, with city skyline views to match. The industrial character of the space comes through in its well-preserved exposed brick walls and original ceiling joists, and the building holds a spot on the National Historic Registry for its Italian Renaissance Revival architecture, complete with a limestone façade and Corinthian columns. It traces back to the original Galt House, once home to guests like Charles Dickens and Civil War generals, before burning down in 1865 and being rebuilt in 1877 as headquarters for the L&N Railroad, one of the era's most successful regional railways.

Stretch out in the huge living space, furnished with two couches, two velvet bucket chairs, and a 60-inch Smart TV, or gather the group for ping pong or foosball before heading out for the night. Four of the five bedrooms feature queen beds with memory foam mattresses, drawers, white noise machines, and TVs, while the fifth offers a full-over-full bunk bed with drawers and its own white noise machine; all bathrooms are accessed through the hallway. Set right in the pulse of Whiskey Row, this loft delivers a true urban experience, with lively days and even livelier nights amid the city's top bourbon spots and busy streets.

For loading/unloading luggage or other items, you can park your car in front of the entrance or in the nearby loading zone with flashers on. Please don't block the garage entrances!

There is paid street parking on 1st St, but the easiest option for longer periods is the Yum!

Unfortunately, there isn't any free parking nearby, except at the street meters overnight and on Sundays.
