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.
