Bourbon Manor carries its history proudly, having served as both a Civil War headquarters and a boarding house before being restored by innkeepers Todd Allen and Tyler Horton. Their passion for bourbon and local history shines through in every detail, from the cantilevered spiral staircase and original oak trim to the preserved Civil War lookout cupola. All of this comes together in Bardstown, where the manor's story feels naturally tied to the bourbon traditions that surround it.

Aged to perfection.

The bourbon theme extends to every guestroom, each named for a classic bourbon cocktail like Sweet Old Fashioned, Mint Julep, and Hotty Toddy. Stay in one of seven guestrooms in the Bourbon Manor, or choose one of three in the Federal House just steps away. The Federal House may also be reserved in its entirety and includes a shared gathering space with a kitchen and den designed for easy, unhurried time together. Whichever you choose, expect antique furnishings, luxurious linens, plush bathrobes, and a private bathroom. Beyond your room, you can spend time in the piano parlor, keep up a routine in the gym, book a massage at the spa, or wander the gardens and take it all in.

Start each morning with an award-winning full country gourmet breakfast served by candlelight in the formal dining room, featuring locally sourced Kentucky Proud ingredients and a signature bourbon-infused breakfast dessert. A 24-hour beverage station keeps coffee and tea flowing between meals. The onsite Bourbon Bar serves bourbon flights and cocktails nightly, while downtown Bardstown puts dozens of restaurants within walking distance, from farm-to-table spots to traditional Southern cuisine.
