The Elwood Hotel & Suites is a vibrant, warm, and charming welcome to the Bluegrass State.
Named for Elwood, the first woman-owned horse to win the Kentucky Derby, the Elwood possesses the true spirit of Kentucky - warm, genuine, upbeat, gracious, and eternally ready to throw an amazing soirée. The original entrance to the hotel was relocated to be more visible and welcoming, and includes a front porch. Rocking chairs recall the leisurely summer nights of watching the sunset over fields of Kentucky. Indoors, the Fiddletree restaurant features a hand-painted, large-scale botanical mural and an abstracted sunset captured in the tile behind the bar. Flooring was reclaimed from Kentucky barns and brings a warmth and genuine charm to the public spaces. The bluegrass seeps into the restrooms via floral ceilings and gingko leaf wall sconces. In the guest rooms, abundant and invigorating natural light streams through the large windows and nurtures the plants in every suite, creating a serene and relaxing atmosphere for guests. Guest rooms include further nods to Kentucky through gingko leaf motifs on the custom armoires and room divides modeled on horse stable doors. Tweed-patterned carpet in the guest rooms conjures the spirit of a debonair equestrian, dressed in his best.
