Walk to Gatton Park, Distillery District & Rupp Arena, Historic Carriage House

Stay in a piece of Lexington history. This carriage house from the early 1800s appears on the city’s first map (1840), making it one of the oldest surviving buildings downtown. Its original character blends seamlessly with modern updates. The location couldn’t be better: steps from the brand-new Gatton Park—with walking & biking trails, playgrounds, splash pad, amphitheater, & dog park. Right next door is the Mary Todd Lincoln House, buzzing again thanks to Broadway. Walk to Rupp Arena
