Reflecting the past, present and future of our vibrant Kentucky town and inspired by the city’s rich history and authentic character, the Omni Louisville transforms one of the city’s most significant urban blocks into a unique and vibrant mixed-use environment offering hotel guests, residents and locals a chance to connect and enjoy the best of a great city. The hotel is a prominent landmark against the Louisville skyline, glistening during the day and glowing at night, with the iconic glassy ends of the 612 room hotel. The hotel pool and rooftop bar, designed for seamless indoor and outdoor integration, allows guests to rest, relax and socialize with downtown Louisville as the backdrop. The essence of Louisville is woven throughout, with interior design that blends elements of the city’s heritage, culture, and character—felt everywhere from the hotel restaurants to a featured bourbon bar, and even the hotel’s speakeasy and bowling alley. Guests can enjoy a vibrant Falls City Market, a 20,000-square-foot urban food hall and grocer directly connected to the hotel lobby. Located at street level, this dynamic space transforms Liberty Street into a lively pedestrian destination. Featuring a diverse selection of food and dessert options—including craft beer, fresh bakery items, and local favorites—the market serves as a welcoming hub for both hotel guests and the local community.
