Luxury boutique hospitality brand celebrates its hometown with a nod to Louisville’s rich past while embracing the vibrant urban renaissance responsible for its allure. The Grady is set to debut in early 2021, bringing 51 guest rooms and a signature food and beverage concept.
Named for the late Grady Clay, a beloved local journalist and a key contributor to the New Urbanism movement, The Grady promises an experience and design unmatched in Louisville. Built-in 1883, the hotel is rooted in tradition and resonates with a sophisticated charm that is both warm and contemporary. Displays of patinated metals and smooth, dark textures tell the story of Louisville’s bourbon heritage, while hints of lush greens voice an affinity for the City of Parks and the outdoors. Originally developed for the well-known local apothecary J.B. Wilder, The Grady pays homage to its storied past through distinctive touchpoints, including the restoration of its renaissance revival-style façade clad with ornamental detailing.
