What’s Hot: The 21C Museum Hotel, Louisville, Kentucky

The media is abuzz: Louisville’s 21C is the hottest thing this side of the Mississippi. The newly-opened boutique hotel– listed on the National Register of Historic Places– is part of what the New York Times calls Louisville’s “downtown renaissance.” The 90 rooms (including six premier suites) are elegantly decorated and are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including 42′ flat-screen televisions and WiFi. But this masterpiece is not merely a luxury boutique hotel; 21C is also a museum of contemporary art, housing pieces from the owner’s mind-blowing $10 million art collection. (Philanthropists Steve Wilson and Laura Brown, a husband and wife team, are the co-developers.)
