As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
We’ve always known that Kentucky is a wonderful place, both to live and to visit, and it seems the rest of the world is taking notice. With reality shows on TV about our treehouses and restaurants, countless articles written about attractions like the Bourbon Trail and our natural wonders, it’s about time Kentucky is known as a true, sought after destination.
Our state, and Lexington in particular, received widespread attention recently, as one of its soon-to-open hotels made a list of best new luxury hotels in the world. Listed next to the likes of Dubai and The Maldives, The Origin Hotel in Lexington will be opening this spring, and it’s just more proof that the Bluegrass State is a place worthy of praise.
Some might not consider a list that features exotic places and luxurious cities to include our own Lexington, but it actually makes a lot of sense. The Origin Hotel, which also has locations in Colorado and North Carolina, has chosen Lexington for its next boutique hotel, as it is in the heart of so many incredible things to experience.
The hotel will open this spring and will be a part of The Summit at Fritz Farm. The property will have plenty of local flair and southern appeal, making it perfect for both Kentuckians and travelers to visit.
As a boutique hotel, you'll sense the coziness and welcoming nature immediately. Origin aims to create a space that stays true to its local roots, so there will be local art, decor, and Kentucky charm all over the common areas and guest rooms.
The hotel will also include The Still, a restaurant that anyone can visit, whether or not you are an overnight guest. More information about this new eatery is expected to come out soon, but it will undoubtedly be a great addition to the dining scene.
Whether you're visiting Lexington from another part of Kentucky or from out of state, you'll enjoy the location of this new hotel. The Summit at Fritz Farm has several restaurants, shops, and events that take place throughout the year, and it's a great place to call home base during your stay.
Lexington itself has been gaining more and more attention thanks to all it has to offer. It's a city with a small-town feel, plenty of heart and passion, and more than enough to keep you busy. Of course, a visit to Keeneland (shown below) and a drive through horse country are a must when in the area.
Origin Hotel also plans on connecting with the love of bourbon in our state and it's perfectly located for spending time along the Bourbon Trail. These are just a few of the unique features in this region and part of why it has grabbed the attention of luxury hotels and the rest of the world.
Kentucky is a friendly state, and we warmly welcome anyone who wants to come and appreciate all we have to offer. If you are lucky enough to already live here in the Bluegrass State, why not treat yourself to a little getaway and stay at what is expected to be one of the best new hotels in the world.
The Origin Hotel in Lexington is sure to be a lovely destination, and it’s perfectly positioned to give guests the opportunity to experience so much of what Kentucky has to offer.
