Absolutely beautiful hotel, with parking on the grounds! Historic hotel, all the charm, amazing little seating area out front with a fire, chairs and swing. Out back, there was another fire place, with tables and chairs to enjoy drinks and company with amazing ambiance. Really, a great place and great location. Within walking distance of Rupp and downtown Lexington.
