This is the river where grain alcohol turned into bourbon. Along this river distillers would load barges of alcohol destined for Memphis and New Orleans. To cheapen the transport, they used cask oak barrels. During the long trip down to New Orleans the alcohol would mix in with the wooden barrels and be transformed. New Orleans didn't know what to call this sweet new liquor. The casks were stamped with the county of origin, Bourbon County. This resulted in a new nickname being formed, Bourbon Whiskey, and the name stuck. The river isn't used for transport much anymore, but the history remains.

Experience Lexington In Southern Luxury!

"Staying at the Manchester was a delight from the moment we arrived until we left. When we arrived the staff were not just courteous, they were attentive and prepared. They went the extra mile. Every single employee smiled and engaged with us in a way that exemplified their job satisfaction, nay their job bliss. The hotels decor was unique in a way that made it stand out and I appreciated the intricate details in the wall tiles, the room decor, and bathroom shower (I’m 6’7” and a bodybuilder so having a massive shower I fit in with my fiancée, Stacie, to shower is not found often). Another nice touch is they have bicycles you can rent. Date idea for couples staying here, rent the bikes and tour downtown Lexington. Stacie and I did that on the first night and we rode for at least an hour. Our stay could not have been more pleasant or enjoyable. Thank you Manchester team!! "

Candlewood Suites Lexington Medical District by IHG

5/5 Excellent

it was great

"It was great for one night stay. Great for the price. The room was super clean and very nice. Bed was very comfortable. Big bathroom and shower. super easy check in/out. I liked the area, it felt safe, there were people walking around and. hospital across the road. Convenient location. If i had to to complain it would be that the ice machine was only on the ground level and no free breakfast. But they offer free 24 hr coffee."

Hotel LEX, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

5/5 Excellent

Definitely should stay there.

"Everyone was so nice and friendly. Clean, comfortable room/bed. We liked that there was a restaurant/bar on the property with a great band on Friday night. Nice property for a family because there’s fun things to do on the property. It is on the outskirts of town but near a highway and easy access to town. "
