Kentucky is a unique state that offers a variety of experiences for both locals and visitors. You can spend one day zip lining underground, the next hiking up a mountain, and then enjoy a horseback riding adventure along the banks of a lake. These one-of-a-kind experiences are what make Kentucky special and another destination that definitely stands out is The Kentucky Castle. Located in Versailles, this unique and beautiful property has grown into a one-of-a-kind experience of its own and you may be surprised at all you can do at Kentucky’s very own castle.
The castle that sits on a hill in Versailles, Kentucky has long been a fixture in the area and it's been thrilling to watch it come to life over the past few years.
Now called the Kentucky Castle, it is a premier boutique hotel, restaurant, spa, and event space that offers such a wide range of experiences throughout the year. From rooftop workout classes to themed dinners, the Castle is now the king of creative events and experiences on its property.
If you're looking for a unique place to spend the night in Kentucky, consider a room inside the castle.
The hotel rooms are each unique and well-appointed and ideal for a special night away. There are a variety of options including a room in the castle's turret, a cabin for larger groups, and even a glamping tent. If you stay in the summer, be sure to take a dip in the pool!
