The Myriad Hotel opened in September 2023 inside a former disco-ball factory on Baxter Avenue, turning the building's unlikely manufacturing history into a 65-room boutique concept for Louisville's Highlands neighborhood.

Entry rate From $130 Learn more → The place The Myriad occupies 900 Baxter Avenue in the Highlands, a walkable, restaurant-dense neighborhood south of downtown. The building previously manufactured the majority of the world's disco balls before later serving as a telephone company facility.
The concept Developed by Weyland Ventures under its Common Bond Hotel Collection and affiliated with Hilton's Tapestry Collection, The Myriad turns an unusual industrial history into its whole design premise. WorK Architecture and Weyland's in-house design lead Ashlyn Ackerman built the 65-room hotel around the disco-ball story: an installation of mirrored balls hangs in the lobby, and the elevator itself turns into a spinning disco ball with a "party button" that triggers lights and music.
Rooms come in 15 different styles, including two bunk rooms, giving the property a variety-driven, almost residential feel rather than a single repeated room type: an approach suited to the Highlands' younger, nightlife-oriented crowd.
Dining & wellness The hotel runs two food and beverage concepts, Paseo and Switchboard, alongside Bar Keep, a retail and event space, plus a swim club with a lounge pool, cabanas and a poolside bar.
Our take The disco-ball concept could easily have tipped into gimmick, but the WorK Architecture execution keeps it grounded in the building's real industrial history rather than costume; best suited to travelers who want personality over polish.

Been traveling for 30+ years, this is by far the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in. If it wasn't the street/vehicle noises (People drive by in modified vehicles all night revving their engines) it was the other guests partying until 4AM in their rooms. The room itself was neat, looked like a loft apartment. We assumed it was family friendly because it had bunk beds. It is not. No door on the bathroom made my two daughters pretty uncomfortable. The TV didn't work in the room I asked for it to be fixed. I was told the maintenance guy was gone and would be back the following day. No one every came by to fix it the next two days. The pool is small and the bar tender was over serving guests. People were falling over drunk and puking on the stairs. BTW I had my 10 yo and 12 yo with me. If you are looking for a party spot this is probably it. If you are looking for a cool downtown family spot look elsewhere.
We chose the Myriad Hotel for the walkable neighborhood and close proximity to downtown and other spots we had to get to. Great little place with a very contemporary-almost IKEA feel and set up. We really loved the small type/boutique-eclectic feel of the hotel. Pool is small but has the Myriad/Disco Ball dust collectors as showcase pieces within the pool area that gives a cool vibe and connects to the history of the invention of the Disco Ball here. Paseo’s is a fantastic spot for dinner/lunch/tapas and cocktails as well as the little coffee shop within the hotel makes delicious lattes. Staff throughout was outstanding! We would definitely come back! I stayed with my Teen Daughter here and we felt safe at all times.
As a diamond member, I’ve stayed at a lot of Hiltons and love them but this hotel is so loud with sound from the street that, even with earplugs that I brought, there was no way to fall asleep until 3 in the morning when the street/bar noise died down.
If you stay out until 3 in the morning, then it’s a great hotel lol.
There was no blow dryer in the room so they had to bring me one, and there was no bath mat. For the price of the hotel, you might think there would be a bath mat. 🙃
Also, the staff was nice. Just don’t end up in a room that faces the street!
As someone who attended a wedding celebration at The Myriad, I left with one overwhelming impression: this hotel is far better at creating excuses than creating memorable guest experiences.
Months of planning went into this weekend. The bride and organizers spent countless hours coordinating rooms, accommodations, and details with hotel staff. Yet when guests arrived, several of those arrangements were not honored, leaving the bridal party scrambling to address issues that should have been resolved long before check-in.
What makes it even more frustrating is that management initially acknowledged mistakes had been made. However, once concerns were raised after checkout, the focus seemed to shift from the hotel's failures to blaming the guests.
The irony was hard to miss.
When we arrived, there was a bride from another event being carried through the hotel while actively vomiting on the staircase. The aftermath remained visible for much of the weekend. When we checked out on Sunday, there was a homeless man sleeping near the pool area. Yet somehow the wedding group that simply expected the accommodations and arrangements that had been coordinated in advance was portrayed as the issue.
Nobody expects perfection. People do expect a hotel to honor commitments, maintain the property, and take accountability when things go wrong.
If you're booking a casual overnight stay, you may have a different experience. If you're trusting The Myriad with a wedding or major life event, I would strongly encourage you to consider other options.
Update after The Myriad's response:
What's most concerning isn't the original experience, it's the response.
You publicly state that your team "communicated directly with the group" and that replacement rooms were offered and declined.
That claim is contradicted by the event coordinator's documented email correspondence with Ashley Manco (Corporate Director), Charlie Cronin (General Manager), and Margaret Luckett (Director of Operations). According to those communications, no phone call or email offering replacement rooms was ever received.
So here's a simple question:
Who did you contact?
What was their name?
What date and time did you contact them?
What room was offered?
Because if those offers were actually made, that information should be easy to provide.
As for the incident you claim wasn't "verified," dozens of guests witnessed a bride being carried through the property while visibly ill. Whether she was staying at the hotel or attending through one of the many day passes you sell to maximize occupancy around a very small pool is irrelevant. We also have photographs showing vomit remaining on the staircase by the pool entrance for the duration of the weekend.
Your response wasn't accountability; it was damage control.
For future brides and grooms, I'd encourage you to read the reviews, read the hotel's responses, and decide for yourself which version seems more credible.
There are serious issues with this hotel.
First, cleanliness. When I opened the container for coffee pods, there was a used one in there with its contents spilled. As I laid in my bed, I could see dead insects on the ceiling.
The shower is extremely dangerous. There is not only no rack to place your towel or grab, but the tub is completely smooth so it is easy to slip. There was no soap dispenser in the tub area when we checked in, and we had to go downstairs to get one.
There is no ice machine (despite having an ice bucket in the room). I needed ice for my cooler, so the person at the front desk took me to the restaurant and scooped out ice with her bare hands! I appreciated her assistance but I wouldn’t want to have a drink at that restaurant!
I have pictures I’d like to post.
