The Spotlight on Hilton Lexington Downtown

Downtown Convenience with Classic Hilton Comfort

Modern and welcoming, the Hilton Lexington Downtown sits right in the heart of Lexington, Kentucky. Just steps from the Lexington Opera House and the University of Kentucky, this upscale hotel blends location with comfort. Guests enjoy spacious rooms with in-room entertainment options, an indoor heated pool, and free airport shuttle service for added convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can't beat the location—concert venues like the Lexington Opera House are just a short walk away, so there's no need to stress about traffic or parking. The hotel’s free shuttle to Bluegrass Airport is perfect for out-of-town fans flying in for a show. Late-night arrivals are no issue with a 4:00 PM check-in and a generous 12:00 PM checkout. After the encore, guests can wind down in a quiet, comfortable room or take a late dip in the indoor heated pool.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends who want to stay together downtown
Solo travelers catching a must-see performance
Couples making a weekend getaway of it
Fans who need quiet after a loud night out
Budget-conscious music lovers who value a central location

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features on-site dining, ideal for a pre-show meal or a late-night bite. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, the in-room coffee makers help start the day right. With downtown Lexington right outside the door, plenty of walkable eateries and bars offer options ranging from fast-casual to local favorites. Breakfast is available on-site, perfect after a late night of music.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its downtown location means you’re steps from local bars, lounges, and music venues. Whether you’re looking for a lively night out or a quieter drink with friends, you’ll find something nearby. The hotel bar serves up a solid selection of cocktails and regional spirits for a relaxed post-show nightcap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the central location, especially for walking to shows and events. Reviews highlight the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the convenience of the airport shuttle. Many mention how easy it is to explore Lexington's downtown attractions right from the front door.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel’s decor feels a bit dated in places, and parking can be an added cost. That said, most agree that the location and service more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking to stay in the heart of Lexington with easy venue access and a touch of Hilton comfort, the Hilton Lexington Downtown hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Raum B, Cincinnati, visiting Rupp Arena

The hotel itself was nice, but their employees need to learn how to speak to the guests, especially when you're paying almost $300 for one night to lay your head!

Liked: Clean rooms and very close to Rupp Arena for concerts.
Disliked: The guy at the counter that checked us in told us that if we were too loud, we would be "Bounced Out" of the hotel!

Extremely expensive stay only because...

Liked: Location
Disliked: Toilet didn’t flush correctly, tub didn’t drain so every shower standing in water (so gross) sink was broken and cold was hard to turn on. Restaurant opened late and closed way to early.

Great walking distance to red...

Liked: I like that the hotel was walking distance from The Red Mile for a concert.
Disliked: The hotel took out a 847.00$ hold and a $50 hold off my debt card for 4 days! My hotel cost 714$ after they added a ton of extra changes when I thought my stay would be $589 which was my total on the website. The bathrooms was so small that 1 person could get in at a time. The service people rushed us in and out wasn’t friendly for the cost of this hotel I should have got more bang for my buck.

We probably won’t have another...

Liked: Very convenient location!
Disliked: Our room smelled like mildew. The toilet handle had to be held down awhile to flush all the way. The lever to turn the shower on was hard to pull & the water pressure was really bad. The refrigerator door wouldn’t stay shut so the fridge wouldn’t stay cold. The air is the room was not cold so the room stayed too warm. I expected more from a Hilton facility.

Disappointing

Liked: Coffee shop, location
Disliked: Room temps were not regulated, very hot and sticky in our room. Bad smoky mildew smell from vent. Pool and hot tub not very clean. The cost for the hotel was not aligned with the quality.

Anne Mon, 2 June 2025

Pleasant

Liked: The property is well located and overall clean but the room had a very strong smell of mildew which is probably due to lack of ventilation in the bathroom. There is no way to ventilate the room, no opening to the outside so it was very stuffy and felt gross.
