    The bar in the conservatory is cool! The bar is a glass aquarium filled with live gold fish! You can drink with the fishes there!

    The 3-cheese french onion soup at the Magnolia Cafe is awesome! Great hotel with wonderful service & large rooms. Surprise lighted vanity mirror in hall outside bedroom was very helpful.

    Executive suite is very nice. Request a room around the 10th floor for best views. The room has an enormous walk in shower and beds are very comfortable.

    Probably one o the fanciest hotels in Louisville.Nice location and we've got 50% off so the price was nice as well. Staff and everyone else were friendly so the only bad thing was loud air conditioner

    Welcome to the Galt House, if you're a fan of bourbon, they have a great bourbon bar here. Mosey on over to Jockey Silks and grab a bourbon to relax and get your Urban Bourbon Trail Passport stamped!

    The aged steak was the most tastiest made perfect to order hunk of meat I have ever eaten. You must stop and try on the 25th floor the RIVUE Tower.

    Good bourbon selection at the bar. Speaking of the bar you can watch native species of fish swim around right under you drink. Delightfully tacky!

    Here for a conference. Nice room and easy to see and hear the presenters. Easy to get in and out through the attached garage.

    It has a nice location on the river with bars and restaurants in the hotel. Short walk to downtown places and events

    Mint Julep Tours leaves from the 3rd floor in the Rivue Tower. Great way to get out and experience bourbon distilleries without having to drive.

    Sweet views of the river, parking garage is a real mess. Rooms are dated but rest of hotel is entertaining, spread out and unique in a way chain hotels cannot duplicate.

    "The original Galt House opened in 1835. Its two towers now overlook the Ohio River. Several U.S. presidents - Carter, Reagan and Clinton, to name three - have been guests."

    If you're looking for updated, old-world charm and great customer service, this is the place. The suites are very large and quiet.

    When you reserve & confirm that you booked a Suite with a king bed, beware, they'll tell you it's only a "suggestion" & give you a Suite with a double queen bed, if you're lucky :(

    Try not to stay in the Rivue Tower. Walls are paper thin and lots of freeway noise. Bourbon bar is awesome!

    Park in the first garage on the right side at the third floor entrance. It's right by the Suite Tower elevators.

    Parking in the underground lot is $12 for guests... they'll tell you to use your room key when leaving, and charge it to your CC.

    If you value your hard-earned dollars, don't stay at this hotel. They try their darnedest to take your $$ away. Everything is an extra charge, including wi-fi, gym and even parking during check-in.

    Take the escalator to the third floor, then get on the elevator to avoid the first floor lines.

    Very nice hotel. The elevators are few in number and incredibly slow. Take the stairs if you're in any kind of hurry.

    Bring your own robe, light bulbs out & broken lamp but maintenance was fast. Valet didn't load bags or even open the door, rivue was great.

    Nice homey hotel with big rooms. Mini fridge in room but water vending machine empty. The bathroom fans stay on with the light which I don't like, the rooms smell like mildew!

    If you have the energy, the stairs can be faster than the elevator.

    The rooms are not cleaned as regular as they should and had to ask multiple times for new towels and for garbage to be emptied. Never came to change sheets. Very overrated hotel for price

    Not a bad place. Get a higher floor for better view. Chemical cleaner smell strong in room. Thermostat set to a chilly 66 upon arrival.
