Welcome to Bluegrass Country, the "Horse Capital of the World." But you don't have to be an avid racehorse fan to enjoy the natural beauty, culture and history that this exciting city has to offer. At the Raven Run Nature Sanctuary, for example, hiking trails wend their way through forests, meadows and gentle creeks, taking you past historic landmarks; there's even a nighttime guided walk for stargazing. The best place in the world for raising thoroughbred horses, Lexington has over 500 horse farms. The Kentucky Horse Park features films, horse shows and exhibits. Be sure to tour the American Saddle Horse Museum, dedicated to the native Kentucky breed, and watch races at the lovely Keeneland Race Course in season. Historic sites are plentiful here, including the Waveland State Historic Site, the childhood home of Mary Todd Lincoln and the Ashland estate of famed Kentucky statesman Henry Clay.

I wish we could have stayed a little bit longer, but I will definitely keep this hotel in mind if I ever need to travel to Lexington in the future.

Kind of hard to find from I-75 but the property was great and the amenities were great. We ate at the bar as we were exhausted and the service was very, very nice. The rooms were nice and the breakfast was also very very nice. My mother insisted on telling the front desk the pansy plants outside were not watered and dying. She was quite upset by the neglect.

I was so surprised that our room wasn't cleaned in 3 days. Is this something new? Also the amenities weren't as nice as they used to be. (I've stayed here numerous times) Hand lotion? None. So-so shampoo/conditioner. Elevator was dirty, even tho I had reported it. Toilet seat was too small for the toilet. (Room 316) On the plus side: pretty good breakfast, polite staff. Comfy bed. Quiet. Reasonable price.

I was ill when I returned home and did not leave my home for 2 weeks. I called the hotel when I discovered my missing license. It was disturbing to hear they throw licenses in a drawer and mine was missing. They should only look at my license while I hold it to prevent loss.

21c Museum Hotel Lexington is a combination boutique hotel, contemporary art museum and restaurant in downtown Lexington, Kentucky. The hotel is housed in downtown Lexington's historic Fayette National Bank Building, the city's first skyscraper originally designed by famed New York architecture firm McKim, Mead & White. Woven into the fabric of downtown, 21c welcomes both visitors and the local community to enjoy the curated exhibitions and cultural programming. The world has changed over the last several months and here at 21c, we have made some changes too. One thing remains constant. Our top priority is the safety and wellness of our teammates and guests. Our website has everything you need to know to return to travel with 21c. We can't wait to welcome you back to Lockbox and 21c Lexington!
I have been a fan of pretty much every 21C museum I’ve visited. This establishment and Cincinnati location are nearly tied for my top spot. 21C Lexington currently has a colorful, emotional, stimulating exhibition by local artist, Robert Morgan. While, according to the artist, the full meaning of these pieces will never be disclosed, you can see, and he implies, each work oozes love, sadness, fear, life, death. There is some eroticism and eccentricity as well. There were also exhibits by other artists, centering on identity, society, and how we relate to other people. The space is over 7000 feet, so would be great to have a party or function there. There is a good bit of paid parking nearby, but they also offer valet. They have an on-site bar and restaurant, and there are several other restaurants nearby. I did not stay in the hotel this time—just viewed the art, but every 21C I’ve stayed in has been clean, comfortable, and fun. And here in Lexington, the doorman was extremely kind and even gave us some bottled water for the hot day.

I'm where Southern hospitality, racehorses, and the best bourbons in the world mix it up. Here you will find we take things slowly but rarely in moderation. Come walk through the shops at The Summit at Fritz Farm, cheer on the Wildcats, or get lost in the Bluegrass.
The origins was perfect for our family wedding/weekend getaway. The location in the summit was convenient and was halfway between the wedding and reception. Not only does the hotel offer great service, but there is a great variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely visit again.
