Great traditional Southern Ambiance and luxury atmosphere.Bathroom much too small, 9.95 charge for internet.“If the bathroom was larger and internet was free, I'd have given them a 5 star rating. The Seelbach fits the definition of a grand old hotel ...
My wife and I visited this local hotel for our wedding anniversary. The Seelbach has a long standing good reputation and a four star rating, though it surely did not live up to expectations. The room was well appointed but extremely small and not as represented on their website. Also, we were on a restricted access floor which one would assume would afford extra privacy and quiet, but such was not the case. Upon retiring for the night, there was a disturbance in the hall(children and adults hollering and being very noisy. After having called the desk about same and the situation persisted for another half hour, we left the hotel and returned home. Bad Experience!

The Seelbach Hilton hotel in Louisville is one of the most charming Hilton hotels I have stayed in. This is one of the best I have used.
The staff was very friendly and eager to serve with any need. The property was very well maintained. The room decor was one of the best I have ever seen.
I am very likely
to return to the The Seelbach Hilton Louisville.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.
