Hotel & Convention Information
Check out the information below for specific information about the convention location, room accomodations, parking and other helpful info!
The Louisville Marriott Downtown offers a sophisticated experience in the absolute center of the city's vibrant cultural district. Boasting an upscale 4-star atmosphere, this premier hotel seamlessly blends modern comfort with classic Southern hospitality across its 616 refined guest rooms and luxury suites. Guests enjoy unbeatable convenience with an interconnected, climate-controlled skywalk leading directly into the Kentucky International Convention Center, making it an effortless home base for business travelers and conference attendees.
On-site highlights include exceptional dining at the vibrant Porch Kitchen & Bar, a full-service Starbucks, and a refreshing indoor pool. Situated just steps from the lively 4th Street Live! entertainment district, the KFC Yum! Center, and iconic stops like the Louisville Slugger Museum, this hotel perfectly positions you to experience the very best of downtown Louisville.
Hotel rooms will cost $119.00 per night (quad occupancy), plus 17.66% tax (as of June 2024). Rates are available from Wednesday through Sunday of convention week. Please note that a credit card will need to be provided for each room upon check-in to cover incidentals such as parking, long distance, etc. Check-in time is 4 PM. Early check-in may not be possible depending on how full the hotel is the previous night. Please do not plan for or expect early check-in.
Reservations and Changes: All requests for changes to hotel reservations must be requested through the online registration system.
**Do not call the hotel directly for reservations or changes.**
The group leader should choose a person to be the hotel room coordinator. This person should be the first to arrive and the last to leave. Your hotel room coordinator can check in and check out your group.
The Marriott has a limited inventory of hospitality suites. These suites will be offered, based on availability, on a first come, first served basis at a rate of $375 per night, plus tax. All hospitality suites are on the 3rd and 4th floors, so they will NOT be able to be located with the groups’ other rooms. They feature a separate sleeping room with king bed and 1 full bath. Also includes a connecting parlor (living room) with pull-out sofa sleeper, an additional half bath and kitchenette which features a small sink, mini-fridge and microwave.
Hospitality suites at the Marriott may be booked using the link below as long as they are available.
All rooms include iron and ironing board, in-room safe, hair dryer, coffee maker, complimentary coffee, voice mail, dual line phone, executive desk and chair and upgraded bed package.
Mini-refrigerators and roll-away beds are available at no charge on a first-come-first-served basis at the Marriott. Please limit the mini-refrigerators to those with medical need. Roll-away beds can only be added to rooms with one bed. There is a chiller (similar to a mini-fridge) in all rooms.
Organizations within the state of Kentucky must provide the completed form 51A126. Check or credit card of the exempt organization are the only means for payment. Letters of exemption must be provided for any KY state, federal, city, county or special districts instead of form 51A126. Organizations outside the state of Kentucky must first contact the Department of Revenue and register with the Division of Sales and Use Tax for exempt status in Kentucky. The number is 502-564-5170. Once approved, the state may issue the Out of State Purchase Exemption Certificate form 51A127. The organization will also receive an exemption letter from Department of Revenue with an exemption number. Organizations must provide a completed form 51A127 and pay directly with an organization’s check or credit card.
Groups must provide the exemption letter/form to the hotel by email to Jonathan Hawks before the hotel deadline date and pay for the rooms before arrival with a church check or credit card.
Self-parking will be $10 per night at the Marriott and will be billed to your room.
Valet parking will be at the prevailing rate at the time of the convention.
