Louisville KY Hotels When You Love Sports

By Mike Woods


Louisville KY hotels plant visitors near some of the biggest and busiest centers in the country. There is something here for sport lovers, music fans, and history buffs. Make sure you stay long enough to see it all and check hotel web sites. These contain valuable information about event dates which could influence where you stay and how early you book.

Churchill Downs Race Track is probably one of the biggest draws in Louisville. Anyone who enjoys a good horse race will know this is home to the Kentucky Derby. This is your chance to join the well-dressed and cheer on a horse, perhaps with a betting slip in hand. Should your horse win, invite some lucky lady (your wife perhaps) out for a fancy dinner at one of the on-site restaurants.

Kentucky Fair Expo Center plays host to some agricultural and commercial events throughout the year. With several hundred acres, it is a huge facility, home of the state fair. KFC Yum! Center is another popular arena, but along with its corporate exhibitors one will see on their calendar a variety of musical and sporting events. In particular, this is home to University of Louisville Cardinals basketball, both men and women.

Active visitors should be in heaven: their walking shoes will get worn-in well. The zoo awaits animal-lovers while kids will probably have a great time at the Science Center. As for parents, more is in store.

If you brought youngsters, along with zoo creatures they might like a trip to the Science Center. If not, then take this opportunity to travel the Bourbon Trail to Jim Beam. A number of wineries also dot the landscape and are worth visiting for a taste.

Choose Fairfield Inn as a launch pad from which to explore Louisville. Your location is close enough to drive or walk just about anywhere you want to go. Bring the family or just your laptop and a briefcase full of contracts. High-speed wireless internet is provided plus business services such as copy, fax, overnight delivery and pick-up. Local businesses include Ford Motor Company and Fort Knox, while it is not uncommon to arrive for an exhibition at KFC Yum! or the Expo grounds.

Sixty-four rooms have been appointed for your comfort and ease. They are all non-smoking. Use the small refrigerator and microwave to keep your own vacation hours, especially handy with very young kids or an extreme time difference between Kentucky and home. Breakfast awaits you buffet style downstairs so tuck in to yogurt and cereal while sipping coffee.
