About this apartment rental

Summary:
Book your stay at our spacious, modern apartment inside the beautifully restored historic Henry Clay Building! In the heart of downtown and just steps from the vibrant 4th Street Live entertainment district, you'll have easy access to the best nightlife, food, and attractions the city has to offer.

Our central location is blocks away from Louisville's most popular live music venues, bars, celebrity-chef restaurants, and the city's beloved bourbon experiences!

The Space:
Experience southern hospitality and city skyline views as you relax in modern amenities: oversized living room with big screen smart TV, fully equipped kitchen, walk-in closets, king bed with luxury linens, ensuite washer and dryer, high ceilings, and concrete floors.

0.1 miles to 4th Street Live, the neighborhood's entertainment, restaurant, and cocktail hub
0.8 miles to Whiskey Row, the heart of Louisville's bourbon tourism
0.5 miles to Kentucky International Convention Center
3.6 miles to Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby
4.0 miles to Kentucky Expo Center

Guest Access:
You'll use a key fob to enter the building and take the elevator to your floor during your stay. The apartment has a Yale smart lock keypad for self check-in with a code that is unique to your stay and expires after you check out for added security and peace of mind.

At check-in, you'll enter the building using a call box before retrieving your key fob from a lockbox inside.

All access codes are sent 15 minutes before your scheduled arrival time.

The Neighborhood:
The location is unbeatable - just steps away from the iconic Louisville Palace and Mercury Ballroom, where you can catch some of the best live music acts in the region. Plus, you're within walking distance to Fourth Street Live, an entertainment district filled with bars, restaurants, and shops.

And that's not all - you're less than a mile from Whiskey Row, where you can sample some of Kentucky's finest bourbons and soak up the city's rich history. A few blocks further, you'll find the trendy neighborhoods of NuLu and Butchertown, both packed with art galleries, cafes, and boutiques

Getting Around:
We're in the historic Henry Clay Building at 604 S 3rd St, in the heart of downtown Louisville.

Access the building by turning into the Clay Commons Parking Garage entrance, just past the Hilton on Chestnut St. There is a loading zone to your left past the Hilton valet before you enter the gates to the public garage, with a large Henry Clay sign to the right of wooden doors-- feel free to park in front of the doors with flashers on while you follow the check-in instructions and unload your luggage.

We offer paid onsite parking to guests for $15/night. You'll have access to the secure garage directly underneath the building, where you can access the building and take the elevator directly to your floor!

If you've paid for onsite parking, instructions will be included in the check-in instructions in your personalized Boarding Pass.

The Clay Commons Parking Garage at 350 W Chestnut St is another parking option adjacent to the building for $25/night, but there are plenty of other garages or paid street parking in the area.

Other Things to Note:
Need extra bedding? We don't charge extra guest fees, but we do offer a pull-out sleeper sofa. Let us know if you plan to use it, and we’ll leave extra linens, a blanket, and pillows in your room before you check in. We charge $15 per reservation to cover the additional laundry costs for sheets, blankets, and towels.

Want to start your trip early or sleep in on your last morning? We’re happy to accommodate an early check-in or late checkout if arranged in advance! Our standard check-in time is 4:00pm, and our checkout time is 10:00am – we charge 10% of the nightly rate per hour (with a minimum of $20/hour) to adjust our cleaners’ schedules and arrange this service.

Interaction with Guests:
We'll contact you to confirm your reservation through your inbox and the cell phone/email registered to your account. If you need anything, respond to one of those threads and our team is happy to help!

Close to downtown and all kinds of activities. Very clean and spacious unit.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
This apartment is in a nice location for doing things in Louisville.I would stay there again.It was overall clean and sufficient.There was a chair in the living room that was nasty, but I believe the host plans to have this replaced.Check in was several steps, but the host gave great instructions with pictures.(I did a screen shot of each step to refer back easily).The kitchen could use a few items, if you plan to do any meals there, but overall sufficient.The building is real cool. There was an outside patio off the 4th floor.It seems there is some restoration going on in various areas (but did not affect our stay) so hopefully it will continue to thrive and become even better.I did pay for the parking, which made it nice to have a spot.The key fob is required to access the elevator (like in some hotels), so keep track of it!!

The host, Matt, communicated well up to our stay. Unfortunately, the key fob to access the property was not present at check-in and our we had to find a new place to stay for our visit. Matt was nice but had no other options for us. I highly suggest confirming the check-in process prior to booking.
