Combine a contemporary art museum, a chic restaurant, and a boutique hotel into one location and you get the 21C Museum Hotel Louisville. This multivenue gem is located in the heart of downtown Louisville on historic West Main Street, perfectly situated along Museum Row for easy access to some of the city's finest cultural attractions. From the double-size replica of Michelangelo's "David," you will encounter upon arrival to a multicolored installation that doubles as a guest room, the 91-room property promises to inspire guests at every turn.

1	Asleep in the Cyclone — It's one thing to visit a museum. It's another to sleep in one. But that's exactly what you can do if you book "Asleep in the Cyclone," a sculptural installation by New York-based artists Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe that does double-duty as a functional hotel room. This gorgeous, multi-sensory experience is one-of-a-kind.
2	A Warehouse Transformed — You'd never believe the hotel had a former life as a series of five 19th-century warehouses. The 9,000-square-foot space is now a gallery celebrating contemporary culture with interactive installations, permanent pieces, cultural programming, and displays meant to make you muse.
3	Overnight in Artsy Opulence — Architecture and interiors firm Deborah Berke Partners designed the hotel with a nod to its historical bones and contemporary new life. The spacious rooms have high ceilings, large windows, custom furniture, and even original historic features in some rooms, aiming to serve as a respite from the thought-provoking art filling the galleries below.

4	Proof on Main — You didn't think the restaurant would be devoid of art, did you? Proof on Main not only highlights man-made creations through its culinary artistry, it also champions the natural world's bounty by partnering with local farms and regional artisan producers to showcase the flavor of the Ohio River Valley. The bar also spotlights more than 120 Kentucky bourbons.
5	Get Pampered — If the hotel's art doesn't soothe your soul sufficiently, the spa and fitness center will surely do the trick. Expect state-of-the-art equipment and an in-house sauna, steam room, and spa utilizing products from family-owned apothecary Malin + Goetz.
6	A Charming Neighborhood — 21C Museum Hotel puts you in the heart of Louisville, which is the northern-most Southern city or the most Southern Midwest town, depending who you ask. But with the hotel's intriguing programming, from annual events to weekly docent tours, you may not want to explore far beyond its doors.
