9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,148 reviews)
This is a truly unique hotel, from the entrance with patio and dining seating into the charming lobby that made me feel like i had arrived in New Orleans! The very elegant indoor dining areas are backed with a magnificent bar that looked like it came out of a glamorous 1930's movie!
And the food! We were only there for one night, wish it had been more, but both our dinner and brunch meals were absolutely delicious. The servers at both meals were excellent, and very cheerful and friendly. Actually, everyone on staff that we encountered there seemed to enjoy their job and interacting with the guests.
Our corner room was quite large, clean, nicely furnished, and quiet.
The Elwood has a very high satisfaction rating, which is well-deserved, and is very reasonably priced for such a lovely experience. I hope to be back in Lexington soon to stay there again. Even if you don't need a place to stay, I highly recommend enjoying a meal there!
