Can’t get enough of the Distillery District? A new hotel will make it so you never have to leave (just joking ... please don’t loiter).

Taking inspiration from its surroundings, The Manchester will open in early June at 941 Manchester St., the former site of Ashland Distillery, aka the first registered bourbon distillery in Central Kentucky.

Soon after turning onto Manchester Street, you’ll instantly notice the hotel’s eye-catching arches. But that’s just the beginning. When it opens its doors this spring, amenities will include:

  • 125 rooms
  • A bespoke bottle shop
  • Lobby bar + lounge
  • Granddam, an Appalachian- and global-inspired 140-seat restaurant
  • Lost Palm, an Art Deco-inspired rooftop bar
