Description: Beautifully restored, the award-winning DuPont Mansion is a favorite venue for overnight, weekend, or extended stays in Old Louisville. All guest rooms in this rare 1879 decorative Italianate mansion—with ornate carved Italian marble fireplaces, hardwood floors, plaster moldings, 10-foot windows, and 14-foot ceilings—offer private in-suite baths and whirlpool tubs. Antique furnishings, a banquet-style dining room, crystal chandeliers, and formal gardens add to the ambience. Amenities include king- and queen-size beds, in-room color cable television, telephone, wake-up service, climate controls, fireplaces, fluffy towels, hair dryers, armoires, on-request laundry assistance, and turndown services. In 2003, the Louisville Historical League presented owners Herb and Gayle Warren an award in recognition of their efforts to restore the DuPont Mansion.
