At Bluegrass Concierge LLC, we’re always on the lookout for unique, elevated experiences to share with our clients. When we were invited to experience The Trail Hotel in Bardstown, Kentucky, we knew we were in for something special—but what we discovered exceeded even our highest expectations.

Tucked away in the heart of Bourbon Country, The Trail Hotel offers more than just a place to stay. It’s a destination in itself—a boutique property where design, hospitality, and local culture blend seamlessly to create a stay that's both luxurious and deeply rooted in the Kentucky experience.

The Location: Close to Everything, Yet Peacefully Secluded

Located just off the interstate and only minutes from iconic stops like Preservation Distillery, The Trail Hotel offers easy access to the Bourbon Trail while maintaining the peaceful charm of the Kentucky countryside. Despite its convenience, the hotel feels worlds away from the bustle—a quiet retreat after a day of tastings and tours.

Highlights from Our Stay at The Trail Hotel

✨ Some of our favorite features include:

• A Hidden Speakeasy: Behind a nondescript door lies a beautifully designed, intimate speakeasy. Think low lighting, craft cocktails, and an ambiance that transports you straight to the Prohibition era.
• Golf Simulator: A fun and unexpected perk. Whether you're a golf enthusiast or just looking to unwind between distillery visits, the simulator is a great way to relax.
• On-Site Spa: Offering a range of treatments, it’s the perfect way to recharge during your getaway. Nothing says luxury like a spa treatment after a long day on the Bourbon Trail.
• Outdoor Pool: Rare for hotels in the area, the refreshing pool offers a relaxing escape on warm Kentucky days.
• Restaurant & Bourbon Bar: A thoughtful, locally inspired menu and an impressive bourbon selection make dining here a true highlight.
• Private Lounge/Event Space: Ideal for small gatherings, birthday trips, or even corporate retreats, the lounge provides a stylish, exclusive environment to host your own Kentucky moment.
