Hotel Bourré Bonne, Curio Collection by Hilton

Hotel Bourré Bonne opened in May 2025 steps from Whiskey Row as a $75 million, 168-room new-build, launching under Hilton's Curio Collection after years in development as a Canopy by Hilton, and anchored by a French-inspired steakhouse playing off Louisville's bourbon heritage.

The place

The hotel stands at 133 West Market Street in downtown Louisville, immediately adjacent to the historic Whiskey Row bourbon corridor and within walking distance of the Kentucky International Convention Center.

The concept

The project was announced and developed for years as a Canopy by Hilton before ultimately opening in May 2025 under Hilton's Curio Collection banner as Hotel Bourré Bonne, a five-story, $75 million new-build managed by Driftwood Hospitality Management, which entered the Kentucky market with this assignment. The name and concept lean into a deliberately French-meets-bourbon identity, playing off Louisville's bourbon culture with a Gallic dining program.

At 168 rooms it is one of downtown's larger recent openings, with over 11,000 square feet of flexible ballroom space aimed at the convention and meetings market that the neighboring Whiskey Row corridor otherwise lacks in newer inventory.

Dining & wellness

Steakhouse Bourré Bonne serves French-inspired dishes paired with an extensive bourbon and wine list on the ground floor, with a separate Rooftop Bourré Bonne bar and lounge; both dining venues are operated by Bellé Noble Entertainment Group. The hotel also has a seasonal rooftop pool and a fitness center with a juice bar.
